This week saw my 6th submission for AHPC XIII, a bunch of 15mm cavalry for my Early Imperial Roman army.
These were submitted for the "Swords & Sandals" studio.
Numidian light cavalry:
Roman Auxiliary cavalry:
The next studio will be "Fantasy" - I have some figures primed and ready for that, but I will do the Gallic cavalry first.
I've reached the slow-point with this batch of figures - basing. At least I only have the drybrushing and static grass left to do, so they will be finished tomorrow.
You may be thinking "there aren't as many cavalry figures in that photo as you showed last week", and you'd be right. Given the time that basing was going to take (mostly due to slower drying at this time of year), I realised after finishing the Romans that I wouldn't be able to get the Gallic cavalry done in time. Their horses are finished, so it's just the riders that need painting, so they will be submitted next week.
I've also primed a few figures for the next studio visit, but I'm unlikely to get any of them painted in time to submit this week.
I didn't get quite as far as I'd hoped to this week, but still managed to get two entries submitted. Only three figures, but next week should see a much bigger points grab.
Entry # 4 - Ralph & Rosie
This pair of bold adventurers are from Artizan's Thrilling Tales range, and were submitted for the "High Adventure" studio, completing the four studios I needed to visit to move onto the Blue zone.
Entry #5 - Rebecca Cameron
This is another Thrilling Tales figure which I submitted for the Westerns studio, my first in the Blue zone.
The next studio in the Blue zone is "Swords & Sandals" - I should have the figures done for that this week - rather a lot of 15mm cavalry. If all goes well, I might also have an entry in for the studio after that - Fantasy.
I've finished painting a handful of figures for the next two studio locations I'm visiting (High Adventure and Westerns) - no progress pics on those. I've started work on a load of 15mm cavalry - these were prepped and primed for last year's Challenge, but I didn't have time for them then and never got round to painting them until now.
The first two strips are some Numidian cavalry which I'll be submitting for the "Swords & Sandals" studio; the next 16 figures are some more Roman cavalry and the final 16 are Gallic cavalry. These are all for my Early Imperial Roman army. They could all be submitted for "Swords & Sandals", but I can only finish a few in time for submission on friday, so I'm going to focus on the Numidians; the Roman and Gallic cavalry will get submitted next week as a non-studio entry.
First of all, apologies for the lack of posts recently. I was ill over Christmas up until New Year and it had left me wiped out. For about a week afterwards I was recuperating and catching up on all the stuff I hadn't been able to do while ill.
I managed to get back to painting just over a week ago, but not in time to get a submission in last Friday.
The start of my illness wasn't too bad. Bad enough to stop me travelling to Sussex for Christmas, but not bad enough to prevent me from finishing my first entry.
Entry #1 - Klegg Hai!
I had fun painting this trio of alien mercenaries for Judge Dredd games. You can find the full post here. Having decided to participate in this year's Challenge Map frolics, these were my submission for the SciFi studio.
Entry #2 Judge Dredd Bust
For the next studio on the map, Black & White, I decided to paint up this bust of Old Stony Face. The full post is here.
This was the 50% scale bust - I still have the 75% and 25% ones which have been primed.
