From KentG: 15mm Mycenaean Army with a Trojan Horse (240 points)

Kent is going to finish the Challenge in style with an entirely new army, this one being a Mycenaean force based for DBA.

From Kent:

'Well here we are again, I think this could be the last entry on my part, but who knows. (I've heard this before... - ed)

This is a 15mm Black Hat Miniatures Mycenaean army done up for DBA -  great fun. After painting so many 28mm I decided why not try and paint these boys with the same three layer painting I use on the 28mm figures - seemed to work quite well. It was fun trying to work out the cow hide shields as i had never done them before but they worked out well in the end.'

Beautiful stuff Kent. I really like the work you did on the shields - top notch.

Love the Trojan Horse, but the head looks sort of avian to me. Maybe we've been duped all along and it was the 'Trojan Pterodactyl' that brought down Troy. Just sayin...

This force will give Kent 240 points (with a bit added for the great hand-painted shields). Well done Kent!

From TimB: 28mm Greek Civilians and Ancient Light Horse Skirmishers (40 points)

From Tim we have a great set of Greek civilians along with a stand of light cavalry.

All of these 28mm figures are from Black Tree Design.

These will give him 40 points. Next up for Tim will be more Anglo-Saxons in preparation for his upcoming DBA campaign weekend.

From TimB: 28mm Ancient Greek Psiloi (15 points)

Since Kent's charge to the lead Tim is having to take time to dig deep. In the meantime he sends in this stand of Ancient Greek spearmen.

These are 28mm Crusader miniatures. Tim is using them for his DBA Greeks acting as Psiloi. Man, I really like the varied groundwork Tim has done for these guys. Excellent stuff!

This group will give Tim 15 points.


Next for Tim will be more early-war Great War British and then on to Greek hoplites.
