About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Challenge Day 69 (Fnarr fnarr!) - 15mm Pirates, Errrmm, Buccaneers

At long last, my pirates buccaneers have been posted on Curt's blog, earning me 500 points (he very generously gave me 4 extra points). Everyone seems to like them, particularly their colour. I've posted pics below. I've also raised my points target to 2400. Hmmmm. I really think that was a bad idea - I don't think I'll be able to make 822 points with just under 4 weeks to go, as I've been feeling absolutely knackered every evening this week when I've got home from work.

In terms of painting, I've only managed to do a little bit of work on my entry fee figure this week. I have continued doing prep-work on the spaceship lead-pile. All my FSE and civilian ships are done; today I've started on the extra NSL ships I ordered. I'm leaving assembly of these until after the Challenge.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish my entry fee figure this weekend and maybe make a start on my pirate buccaneer command stand figures.

Anyway, here are the pics I promised at the start of the post.

    Let me get my sunglasses! Very characterful and colourful. Well worth the extra points. As for your new total, very best of luck.

    I really like this hairy horde of swashbucklers! With the starfleet and pirates, you have seem to gone Navy! You need to get some good honest ground pounders up before it's too late! ;)

    Great work, Tamsin! Keep these colorful fellows away from your liquor cabinet or they'll be singing sea shanties all night. ;-)

    Thanks all!

    @ Clint - sunglasses? I think a welding visor may be needed!

    @ Dannoc - they may face off against a clubmate's Buccaneers as their first fight ;)

    @ David - I've paitned up plenty of groundpounders already this Challenge - Swiss halberdiers, Korean handgunners and crossbowmen, Seleucid cavalry....

    @ Monty - too late I'm afraid :(
