Golgfag1's latest efforts in the Old World Army Challenge (May)

 

Well, after a cracking April which left me well in advance with my painting, where did the time go, I started with a load of good intententions which went straight out of the window! As a load of minor distractions accumalated (broken boiler, car, work emergancy trip to vets and dentist etc etc.) into one big time-sink, which I slowly had to work my way through (how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time). So here's what I have managed to splash a little paint over.

Another Grenadier giant - 3306, Yvette, Enchantress of the Emerald Isles, by Jannine Bennett. The original box shows a very scantilly dressed figure, just shows how times have changed, for a steady two hundred points.

 





 All  based and varnished with a scattering of C series amazons at her feet, which have all recently received a dab of paint, but won't be in this month's entry, as I don't have any bases for them.

 

 Next a selection of  Amazonians riding Sabre-toothed tigers, again from Grenadier, I spent a little time on these girls, providing a more tiger like appearance to the cats and replacing the soft spear shafts with piano wire to give a more uniform/military pose to the unit. Which at forty eight points each provides a total of three hundred and thirty six points for seven of them.


 

The next batch are a selection of female Centuars carrying bows there were to be more of them but my order of Shadowforge Miniatures turned up short so I added Chiral, Centuar captain by Reaper miniatures 14497 to act as a champion until my original order can be filled. Centuars carrying bows and wearing light armour and shields come in at  thirty seven points each and the champion carrying an additional spear and wearing barding, there's also a centuar level ten wizard - gives a total of four hundred and seventy points.

 



Reaper Dark Heaven Legends 02230 Gwyneth Roanmane  

 




Next up, a small Amazonian giantess from Grenadier for another two hundred points

 



Last but by no means least my army cooks!




So, altogether for the group shots.
