From SteveG: Carthage and The naughty Gallic boy (145 points)

 1st up are some very nice "Punic Citizens Cavalry"    3D prints by Resin Warfare. 28mm 

Then comes the tale of a naughty Gallic boy. One night he crept into the local Roman Camp and painted some shields with white paint.  Discovered at the end of his escapade  he flees for his life past unimpressed women folk and farmers. His brother looks on hoping he wont be blamed.  The town dogs show varying levels of interest. The irate Romans approach the town chief whilst some  Gallic warrior, alarmed at all the commotion, prepare for the worst.   

where is that little swine ?  

Wotgivesarix hopes to placate the Romans with roast pork and mead. It's always worked before! 

otherwise his stunted bodyguard may be needed.  

so points  ....

4 x cav = 40 

16x humans and dogs = 80 

oxen and cart w rooster  = 15 points 

so  150 I guess ? [145 after I adjusted the cart score - Millsy]

From Millsy:

Another jam packed submission of ancient goodness mate!

The cart in particular (scored as a vehicle - 10 points) is really flavourful and the timber effect is spot on. I also noted what looks like one of those new fangled patterned cloaks made from real fabric on the driver. Is that right?

145 more points is a great haul for this late on when the enthusiasm is starting to ebb. Nice work.

Cheers,

Millsy

From KentG: 28mm cavalry (320pts)

Well here we are back again, this time it’s all cavalry 

The funny thing is I had said that after the last challenge 

I wouldn’t be doing much cav well you can see how that plan worked 

Out. There’s three different lots of cav, not sure what I was thinking

All those hand painted shields took way to long especially 

The checkered pattern

These first 12 are Spanish Jinetes by Gripping Beast

Not the most detailed figures but they still really nicely

Next up just because who needs more detailed shield yip me

So here Gallic cavalry by Gripping beast again I actually really enjoyed 

These 

 I had a lot of fun painting these next 8 figures by

Bloody miniatures, the detail on these English Civil war minis

Is so really nice and great to paint

Black is always a fun colour to paint

As most if not all of us know, but I’m 

Really pleased with the result on this chap

No flag on the pole here the new owner of

These figures haven’t made up his mind yet.

So let’s total up for the week 

32 x 28mm cavalry @ 10pts each 320pts 

Which means I’ve hit my target for this challenge 

From Millsy:

A wonderful batch of cavalry Kent, all beautifully painted as ever and with a great mix of coats colours on the horses which adds so much interest and variety. 

My initial though was the shield designs were decals and then I read your copy. These are absolutely brilliant mate, particularly the checks which are an absolute bugger to get right regardless of scale.

This 320 point cavalry bomb blasts you through your original 1,500 point total and we're not even halfway! Please let me know your revised total and I will update the roster accordingly.

Cheers,

Millsy
