From KentG: Early Imperial Roman Camp, Scorpions & WWII Medic (60 points)

Kent has sent in this wonderful Roman camp vignette which would grace any wargames table.

These are 28mm Foundry castings on a scratchbuilt base. Lovely.

Kent tells me two of the crewmen were completed before the Challenge and so will not be tallied for points.

Next is two ballistas along with their crew. Again these are Wargames Foundry castings.

Last but not least is a WWII British medic. This fellow should have been with Kent's last entry but he must have been out visiting patients or something. Not sure on the make of this figure, Bolt Action perhaps?

This group will give Kent a base of 50 points and I'll add another 8 for the Scorpions and 2 for the Camp (balancing with the fact that I usually don't score 'terrain'). So that totals a cool 60.

From Curt: 28mm Norman Crossbowmen (40 points)

I managed to get these eight Norman crossbowmen done over the weekend while judiciously avoiding relatives, partygoers and assorted revelers. "Yes, yes, Happy New Year and best wishes.  Now, bugger off..."

These are 28mm Gripping Beast castings. For a change from the norm I decided to use AP Quickshade (strong tone) for this group and then go over them with to pick out their highlights. On the whole they turned out OK, but I'm still trying to get the hang of the whole Quickshade thing.

Last pic is of my Norman warhost to-date.  Slowly but surely its coming along.

These crossbowmen will give me 40 points. Next is a batch of archers and some Jomsvikings for fun. (Mmm, jom, jom, jom...)

From FranL: 20mm WWII Bedford Trucks and Command Jeep (48 points)

Fran, not wanting Ray to get any airs of superiority in his current lead, has submitted these four 3-ton Bedford trucks (lorries) and a jeep carrying a set of jaunty officers.

The Bedfords are 20mm scale from Frontline Wargaming while the Jeep is from Skytrex.

This set will net Fran 48 points which will help reset the imbalance to his universe. Well done!

From TimB: 28mm Ancient Greeks, Bromhead & WWI Canadians (45 points)

Tim sends along another excellent group of figures covering several periods of history.

First is a group of five Ancient Greek light spearmen. A base for DBA and two mounted individually for skirmish gaming (one with a horn).  These are 28mm Crusader Miniature castings. 

The next is a couple of 28mm figures from Trent Miniatures  "Gonville Bromhead: Fact and Film" sculpted by the talented Mark Copplestone.

And finally a duo of 28mm Great War late-war Canadians. The one with the shotgun is from Great War Miniatures, the one on the right with the Lewis Gun is from Renegade Miniatures. Lovely work, Tim!

These lads will give Tim 45 points to add to his roster.

From ChristoperS: 15mm WWII Shermans (50 Points)

Christopher starts his opening gambit with this very fine Sherman platoon that he will be using for 'Flames of War'.

These are 15mm Battlefront castings of the M4A1 variant of the ubiquitous Sherman tank.

Christopher has done a great job of weathering the hulls of these little beasts. He used the MIG Productions line of weathering pigments and powders. I quite like the rust effect he has achieved with these.

These five tanks will give Christopher 50 points on his road to glory (I added a little extra for the weathering, stowage, decals, etc.).

His next batch will be either Confederate ACW or their close cousins...Samurai. Focus, Christopher! Focus!
