From ChrisP: 28mm Greek Hoplites for SAGA, 3rd Entry (60 points)

Chris here completes his Ancient Greek project for his SAGA mod. I'll let Chris describe them:
Above we see a unit of Myrmidons, Achilles' best and brightest, my Hearthguard. They are much (much) darker than the other hoplites, because of all the muted bronze and dark grey shield cloths and tunics. Their crests are showing a remarkable ability to reflect light- they might need another matt varnish!

Next up is my generic Warlord, for all those times when Achilles is sulking and/or dead. This is the Strategos from the Immortal (now Warlord) boxed set, along with the piper following him.

Finally we have Achilles himself, the best of the Achaeans in all his golden glory. This sculpt is from the Wargames Illustrated "Moments in History" range- he is meant to be on a large base duelling Hector; based clearly on the movie Troy. I gave Hector to the local Trojan player, so I am looking forward to duelling the two!

Excellent work, Chris, based on a superb idea - bravo! I'm shamelessly poaching this for my own SAGA collection.

These twelve lads will give Chris another 60 points to add to his overall tally.

From TimB: 28mm Anglo-Saxons, Norman Foot, Greek Light Horse plus a Celt and a Greek (310 points)

Wow, the lads sure have been busy! Its been a week of multiple-period, multiple-posts ranging from Ancient Greece to present day Mogadishu, from characterful single figures to large multiple units - all of it excellent stuff! So keeping up both the theme and tempo Tim sends us a veritable cornucopia of great minis to look at. First up is an impressive unit of Anglo-Saxons arrayed in one of their formidable shieldwalls.

Tim tells me that this unit is composed of a dog's breakfast of 28mm manufacturers: Gripping Beast, Old Glory and Black Tree Design to name a few.

And really, who better to face-off with the Anglo-Saxons than those avaristic yobs with bad haircuts from the Cotentin. Yes, you guessed it, the Normans.

These are all 28mm Crusader castings. Tim did fabulous work on the shields with both of these units.

Next we have a stand of two 28mm Greek light cavalry from Black Tree Design...

...truly an ancient Greek from Warlord Games...

... and finally a sunbather from the Orkneys wearing nothing but his tattooes (and, well, a huge freakin' sword). He's from Warlord Games as well.

These fourty-nine foot and two mounted will give Tim a base of 265 points, but I'm going to award him another 45 points for the great hand-painted work on the various shields and the tattooed loon. So 310 it is. Wonderful stuff, Tim!

From RayR: 15mm Native American Tribal Warriors from the French & Indian Wars (231 points)

Ray sends in two large groups of Native American (or First Nations) warriors for use in his French & Indian Wars games.

The first batch we see here are 15mm Peter Pig castings. Ray painted them to represent a variety of tribes so they could be used for either side of the conflict or for inter-tribal warfare as well.

The second group below are from Freikorps and QRF. These are 15mm as well.

These two groups will give Ray a tidy 231 points to add to his total. This will see Ray break through the 2K barrier. Very nice work, Ray!

From ScottB: 15mm WWII German Panzergrenadiers (78 points)

Scott sends in this very fine submission of a Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier headquarters group in late-war camouflage.

These models and figures from the 15mm Battlefront range.

Great work on the stowage, aerials, decals and camo. They really help to provide those finishing touches on the vehicles.

I believe Scott has another 20 halftracks in the pipeline so we should be seeing a veritable feast of SdKfz 251s in the near future!

This group will give Scott 78 points as I've added a bit extra for the nice work on the vehicle stowage and detailing. Lovely work and welcome aboard, Scott!

From DallasE: 28mm WWII American Infantry (40 points)

Dallas and Greg are getting together a collection of miniatures and vehicles to play some skirmish games set in the Ardennes so Dallas sends in these eight American infantrymen to help bolster his hapless lads with their first encounter with Pieper's onslaught.

These are 28mm Bolt Action miniatures (available through Warlord).

I really like these guys, especially the running medic.

These eight infantrymen will add 40 points to Dallas' total. Well done! I look forward to reading some AARs on this project from the Fawcett Ave Conscript's blog.
