Relics Britanan February Challenge minis completed.

Wow over a week without a blog post!! Well apologies have been mega busy with one thing or another and what free time I have had has been spent on painting etc.

Anyway I have finished off the bulk of the infantry for my Britanan army that are going to be used for the tournament at the end of March.

I have 5 highlanders to paint but after finally deciding pretty much what will be in the final 400pt list they couldn't be squeezed in effectively without messing up the composition. This was mainly due to the middle game of the day when the force is split 300;ts with 100pts of reinforcements I couldn't take a full size unit and it couldn't be broken down (points wise) and still leave a decent sized unit.

Anyway apologies pics where a bit rushed as the weather has been crap for out door pics this week. These are also my entry on the Tor Gaming Forums February Painting Challenge. A winner is selected at random from the entries and wins a store voucher :)

 The three Company Sergeant Majors. It occurred to me that the one with rifle would make a good proxy for a marksmen! Hmmm I shall have to put some more thought into that.

 A second unit of Grenadiers. I love these models they are quite a tough unit as well from what i've read and some youtube game reports I have watched. They have 2 damage each and equipped with short ranged grenade launchers with a special Area of Effect attack,

 The humble troopers and the mainstay of the army. When funds allow these will get expanded to full strength of 9 and you can add on a Colour Party (Standard bearer and Drummer) which expands the unit to 11 and adds on some special rules for morale and movement. (when funds allow)

Next up for March's painting challenge and the second half of my force is cavalry. Two more units require doing for it and also require to be finished for the tournament. The Dragoons and Heavy Dragoons. You already saw the Dragoons a few weeks back they are now built and undercoated ready to be painted. The Heavy Dragoons also arrived this week and so I have had my first proper play with Resin miniatures.

 The normal Dragoons. I only have the four at the moment but they can be expanded upto full size of 6. I will be taking a  small unit of 3 to the tournament (point juggling).

Next up the Heavy Dragoons I love these figures!!! Possible my favourites out of the entire range so far I think. These guys are big (in comparison to the rest of the Britanans) they are on 40mm bases and fill them quite nicely. I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the renders for these as I had only really seen the normal dragoons (on 30mm bases) and was thinking they would look small on 40mm bases. But now I have them in hand I can see they live up to 'Heavy' Dragoons name. They are shock Cavalry they have no ranged attack but have a nice combat score of 3 each but have some cool rules where this can be buffed upto a whopping 5 dice each on the charge (providing certain things happen).

 Maximum unit size for these guys is 4. You get two different sculpts but they come with separate arms and wheels and a main body. All I've done is switched the sword arms over and changed the angle and I think they have turned out nicely.

With them being heavy I decide to make track as if the weight if them is pressing down in to the ground.

You can get a feel more for there size in these two pics.
