AHPC12 - Donnybrook Femme Fatale's

 

Tamsin usually finds herself  blessed being my Minion each year during the Challenge, but it wasn't to be this year. So, as she's minioning today I thought I stick a small post on for her as a pressie. Here we have 2 x Femme Fatale's

I've had these figures for many moons and painted them up just incase I needed any more lifts on Sarah's Star Yacht. That ship has now sailed. So these luvvly ladies are going spare.

The lady on the left is the Governors Daughter and is a resin model, I can't for the life of me remember the manufacturer??? The hatted lady on the right is another of the civiies from North Star's 1672 range.

I still working on other figures, hopefully I'll have more posts to sneak in??

10 point please Tamsin? Unless you wanna give me any bonus points which I know you won't?

AHPC12 - Donnybrook - Last of the Mohicans

 

Back in Challenge 8 in 2018 I painted up the Warlord Figures pack Last of the Mohicans here

Mainly to use as command figures for my Natives for King Philip's War/Bacon's Rebellion.

Around about the same time I bought the Redoubt Enterprises version of the same figures, Although there's no Magua, instead we have the ill fated Major Duncan Heyward.

These will also go into the Native Command box of doom. The ladies will go into the civillian box,

and poor Maj Heywood will go into the what the hell I'm I gonna do with you box! But

probably round to Posties to add to his FIW collection. This figure was in command of the 55th foot in our last FIW game a few posts ago.

I think I prefer these figures to the Warlord ones?

Bit blurry I know.

Cora Munro, Alice Munro, Chingachgook, Uncas

Alice, Chingachgook, Uncas, Hawkeye (in his famous, chasing after Magua pose)  and Maj Heyward

Originally I was just going to paint up Cora and Alice, just incase I needed them for Sarah Star ship, but before I knew it I'd cleaned up the pack and stuck them on sticks and lets face it, they're a pretty easy paintjob.

This fine looking bunch of 6 x 25mm figures will earn me another 30 points, which leaves me just 9 points shy of Miles in 6th place.,

AHPC12 - Donnybrook - Vienna 1683 - Polish Haiduk Infantry

 

Staying on the Vienna 1683 project for my next post.

I've been scrabbling for info on the Polish Infantry that was sent as part of the relief force to Vienna.

It would have saved me a lot of fuss to include these in my venture to the centre of the Challenge Quadrant, but alas, I'd already started painting these and perhaps some other too?????

From what I've read so far it only looks like 2 units were sent?

And as per usual I don't know what 2 units and what they wore?

So I've gone for a generic blue coated faced red.

The 8 figures on the left are from Essex Miniatures,

The 8 on the right are from The Assault Group.

The 3 command figures are also from TAG.

I found the flag online here on Another Miniatures Painting Blog , this and other on the site are taken from The Stockholm Roll.

The “Stockholm Roll”, a 16 m long painting depicting the entry of the wedding procession of King Sigismund III Vasa into the city of Kraków in 1605, is now on show in the Royal Castle in Warsaw.

The Essex figures were a little smaller all round than the TAG figures, so I double based them, which bought them up to the same height, which made the fit in a little better. Not perfectly, but it'll do fine for me and the Rejects.

I will need to print the flag off again, with a better quality paper, as this one is rather 

wishy washy in colour.

19 x 25mm figures @5pts each

95 points!

This should push me back up to 7th place, only 3 points ahead of Kerry!!

And 39 points behind Miles!
