***Warning - Lots and Lots and Lots of Pics!!!***
Now that I've had a chance to recover from the trials and tribulations of 15 weeks of the 5th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge, it is probably the right time to do a round-up of everything that I submitted.
After my previous two Challenges, I posted every entry in the order that I submitted them. I've decided to do something different this time and group the posts according to themes. I'll go with a historical order.
**Edit: I've added links to the posts on the Challenge blog for each entry**
28mm Wars of the Roses
Entry 14 - Retinue Archers (300 points)
This entry is the beginning of my 28mm WotR army for FoG. Sixty bowmen.

15mm Thirty Years War
Just the one unit this year!
Entry 19 - "Yellow" Foot Regiment (64 points)
15mm Seven Years War Russians
I managed to surprise myself with the speed and quality that I painted these up. Not to mention the fact that I actually completed an army (albeit a relatively small starter army).
There was also the added trouble of hand-painting the cast-on flags - I managed to produce a reasonable impression of the actual flags.
