From MartinN: Hairy arsed Barbarians (70 pts.)

For my penultimate post for this year I've got a bunch of hairy arsed Barbarians for you to enjoy. The figures are a mix of Victrix and Footsore Miniatures and were a lot of fun to paint. They're based on my usual 10x5 cm bases for use with Midgard Heroic Battles by James Morris. As I couldn't be arsed to hand paint all the different shield patterns I decided to use LBM (nowadays available through Victrix) decals instead. Backdrop is by Handiwork Games as ever

Points wise we have 14 miniatures for a total of 70 points

Lovely looking barbarians Nick, although I’m a tad disappointed that they are fully clothed given the title of your post.  I envy painters who can achieve those rugby shirt stripes on tunics.  Your transfers work well, and mark these guys as veterans of Roman units.  Love the basing and backdrop.

 Napoleonic, ACW, Roman’s and Aliens 

Finally back from our 10 week vacation in Australia, I was keen to hit the painting desk and have been really productive over the last 14 days getting a lot painted. I missed last Friday’s  deadline as I went to wargames and forgot to take photos…..

First up eight Perry Plastic dismounted Dragoons, these have been in my stash for over 10 years now, great to finally get them completed. 

8 Napoleonic figures @ 5 points = 40 points 

I also painted some  ACW bits, a Confederate band and a farrier from Dixon minatures range. 

9 ACW figures @5 points  = 45

Back to my neglected Roman’s for my Gangs of Rome project, I still have a lot more to do with this collection, including buildings. The figure will be able to be a civilian, slaver or a gang member, and two camels. 

Three 28mm figures @ 5 points = 15 poinrs

Finally for Christmas I received the Aliens another glorious day for the corps board-game, I decided to paint the Xenomorph’s first, I elected for a green blue colour on my first batch, quite happy with the result. 

8 x 28mm figures  @ 5 points = 40 points

From Millsy:

In a rush with real life so I don't have the time to say something pertinent I'm afraid! Nice work mate, especially the dismounted dragoons.

From AlanD - Reivers and Goths (65 points)

It's been a bit of an eclectic painting week as I finished off a couple of things I started too long ago.

Firstly, as a proof of concept, I finished a deep unit of Goths for To the Strongest! They aren't the points bomb they might appear to be, unfortunately. All but 6 of the figures were painted over a year ago, and have been lying around waiting for a few reinforcements and basing. The majority are Wargames Atlantic Goths, with six newly painted figures from Footsore. They are the 5 figures with helmets in the front rank, and another hairier chap up the back somewhere. 

I like the guy who seems to have noticed the camera.

During the Challenge last year I enjoyed painting some lovely reivers from Flags of War. I assembled six broken men on foot, stuck them to their bases....and got sidetracked on to other things. It was a pleasure finally painting them this week. Who knows? At this rate I might finally have a game of Border Wars around AHPC XX.

12 figures for 60 points please Millsy! 

From DaveD - aka Millsy . Ooh Alan they are cracking.i really like the mob look , the close packed tension of it all . I live in Reivers territory  it’s always great to see these re-created . I’m making this up,to 65 my friend .
