Hej everybody,
As per normal, my Challenge painting has been interrupted by a business trip. This year 'only' to the UK, not as far as Tokyo!
Not wanting to let the long dull hotel based evenings go to waste, I searched around my hobby space for some portable minis. My large 6mm backlog was a strong contender. But oddly because my plan had been to focus at least two months painting time on them and that hadn't started, I didn't want to start so near the end of the Challenge. So instead I decided to bring some 15mm warwagons and crew.
The minis are from the excellent Polish manufacturer QR minis. I highly recommend both the minis and Pavel the owner. I started painting the crew for these when the minis first arrived, from QR, 4 years ago. But then some hobby butterfly shunted them down the painting queue, until now. Sadly it seems that over the years I've lost the bars that connect the horses to the wagons!? No idea where those have gone! Also a wheel broke off in the hotel, thanks to old super glue, and I wasn't able to find it. So I'll have to make an appropriate prop while basing them up.
I present, (hopefully, if I've managed to get these based when I get home on late Thursday- Friday morning!!) 3 warwagons and would like to claim the Limbo bonus for the years they've sat on the shelf!
Points:
3 wagons as large crew served weapons (or do they count as vehicles?!?) = 3 x 4 8 pts = 12 24pts
14 crew (the remainder were painted years ago) = 14 x 2pts = 28 pts
6 15mm horses = 12 points
Limbo bonus = 20pts
Total = 60pts 84 points
Great work, Edward! A nice bonus on a business trip. I had not heard of QR Miniatures before, but I will look them up. They are indeed handsome miniatures, and you have painted them up fabuously! I like the bold , lively colours. I can see some great scenarios featuring these. Yes, I will count them as vehicles, and I think you forgot the horses too, so that's 84 points for you.
