Trade Goods 'n' Treasure



More Lockdown painting from me, these were painted a month or so ago and I've only just had the chance to take a few pics. 
The front row and one base back row on the left were bought from Bad Squiddo Games a few Salute's ago, you can buy them here, for the princely sum of 12.50 They're sold as Food Supplies and are all resin pieces which are crisp and clean and paint up really well.


The rest of the back row were bought from Col Bill's once again quite a while ago???
They are from Ainsty Castings and called Treasure Piles!


They can be used a scatter terrain or objective markers in all sorts of periods.
Although the food stuffs will mainly be used for a market scenario I have planned for my Tangier figures using Donnybrook rules!! And they may well pop up in South West England during the Monmouth Rebellion as well???

AHPC VII Terrain Home Bonus - Protect our village


Another difficult bonus round for the 7th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.
"Terrain Home"
After a few days pondering I came up with this "Protect our village"
I had quite a few Militia type figures, armed with farm weapons and lots of scenery bits and bobs
So putting them together to form a defended village cira 1685 during the
Monmouth Rebellion, seemed the easy job?



The figures are from Reiver Castings Monmouth Rebellion range.



To enter a vote into the Challenge click here. There are 29 entries, vote
 for your favourites.




All the buildings and terrain are from the Evil Umpire von Postie!



The eagle eyed among you should spot Winston the Bulldog, by his masters side
From Warbases animal collection.




Along with 4 other Warbases dogs waiting to chew the ankles of the Earl of Feversham's troops!


I wouldn't want to try and shift a barrel that size?




So in this entry there are 12 Militia/Villagers
5 Hounds of Death!




And all these bits and bobs!

3 x Large Barrels
4 x Medium Barrels
3 x Small Barrels

AHPC 6 - Defensive Terrain Bonus Round - Dressed to Steal.



These bonus rounds are killing me Curt.....
Usually terrain items are not allowed in the Challenge so I emailed Curt for a little advice. He said "Use your imagination?" So I did!
.....................................

London, 1688.
Every Saturday night in fine houses members of High Society would meet to party the night away at Balls and Galas. The biggest and most opulent was that of Sir Cloudsy Butterworth, 2nd Earl of Knightsbridge and his good lady wife Winifred.
It was at one such party not long ago that the two roughest villains and vagabonds stole poor Sir Cloudsy's fine collection of Moorish weaponry that he picked up while he served as Vice Governor to Percy Kirke in Tangier. The collection was said to be worth thousands.Quite how the two villains managed to relieve Sir Cloudsy of his treasure is not known.

But who are these two villains??

Recently Terrence Campbell and his good lady wife Denise have moved to London from Cornwall, where they apparently made their fortune in Copper and Tin mining.  They have been invited to all of the recent and forthcoming social events in good ol' London town..........but all is not as it seems. For Denise and Terrence are in fact the Thieves!!
It was them who stole Sir Cloudsy's treasure, it is them who pray on the filthy rich, whom they befriend then steal from.
For they are not really Mr and Mrs Campbell, they are in fact England's two most wanted criminals and have been sentenced to hang as soon as they are caught for previous crimes.

May I present the rouges of the fleapit of London and the masters of disguise..................................Dee Fensiff & Terry Ain!
