'Childhood' from LeeH: Pineapple Tribe Chiefs

This was a fun Bonus round because I got to be a bit 'Childish' for the 'Childhood' round. I bought these figures last year just because they were silly and fun. And as soon as I saw the list of categories I knew exactly what I was going to paint. I bought these models from Colonel Bills but they are actually made by EMP Games for their Lost Horizon range. 

The models are 28mm white metal and these two were wonderfully cast with virtually no mould lines or flash needing to be removed before painting. As usual I washed them in detergent before applying a brown undercoat. The beauty of fantasy miniatures is that some of the neglected colours from your pallet get a chance to be used, and these two guys are no exception. And lets face it, when was the last time you had the opportunity to paint a couple of pineapples in 28mm?

These two ridiculous jungle chiefs are also rather special in another way. If I have my maths right they should take me over the 1000 point mark and what I thought was my improbable target for this years Challenge. Back to some more 6mm Zulu War stuff for next week and to start preparation on the next bonus round. I have a splendid model for that category - very in keeping with this years theme - so I'm looking forward to getting started on it over the weekend.
