From EdwardG - A small Napoleonic offering to keep the numbers tally ticking on (25pts)

 Hej hej all,

I beg the forgiveness for a very long lag between submissions. My trip to Tokyo was excellent from a work perspective but a total disaster on the hobby front. Working each day 9-9 with a business dinner after, didn't leave much time or energy to paint once I'd gotten back to the hotel. 😵 

So because of all that I'm massively behind my mini painting plan, and I've only got one mini to submit this week. 

He's again a 28mm Foundry mini, he's painted in the uniform of a Voltigeur sergeant (heretical because the mini looks to be that of a grenadier!) and I've painted him up for Silver Bayonet. Because it's a fantasy game, I'm going to ask to claim the fantasy section bonus. Pretty please 🙏




Points for the entry: 

28mm foot mini = 5pts

Section bonus = 20pts

Total = 25pts

Thanks all! See you in the very near future for a final post. Question is how much can I get done!?! (It can assure, it will be more a points grenade than a bomb...)

Best,

Edward 😀 

Konnichi-wa Ed-san.. and welcome back from the land of the rising sun.. which after my trip there had a whole different meaning ( those after work drinking events can go on for a while.. ). Glad you survived, and got a piece painted all the same here!

So.. a fantasy entry with a naps models.. well mate.. given minion discretion here... and considering the proportions on the model is a bit comic like vs realistic.. I guess we can claim it to be fantasy.. this time ;) 

25 pts for you
Kyle

From KentG: 18mm Napoleonic Wars Saxe-Gotha unbased (pts 69)

 First up this week is the completion of the Westphalian army
with this time, the addition of troops from the Federation of the Rhine 
There aren't a lot of pics this time as I packed up the figures for 
shipping as soon as they were completed. 
I even missed a couple of figures from the photos so of course 
didn't count them in, really happy with the figures but also happy
 to now get back to my 28mm French army again


46 figures in the photo, below are just a few pics with a few variations
of the figures



the three officers are my favorite out of these figures and was 
really happy with how they came out. 


Grenadiers with the red epaulettes and then two of the line infantry 


a few of the voltigeurs these are probably my next favorite,
I was silly enough to not check on the uniform before painting them the first
 time then realizing I had painted them completely wrong and did them again.


these last two pics are of Voltigeurs in great coats


As mentioned a fun paint but I'm glad to get back to 28mm,
that is until the next batch arrives.

                    46 x 18mm unbased foot @ 2pts each 92pts - 25% = 69pts

From Millsy: I know you hate painting these mate but you do such a good job with them. You even take the time to highlight the greatcoats and shako covers which is nuts and I love it. Minor German states are a favourite of mine in the period so I particularly enjoyed these. Cracking work!
