<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are all the nominations for this year's Challenger's Choice. Enjoy the gallery and be sure to vote for your favourites. I suggest 4 votes total to allow a nice curve to the results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'll make the announcement on the voting results next Sunday.</span><br />

Still when they are both exiled and meet in the City of Ragosa they become fast fiends. Indeed their meeting could almost be described as "love at first sight" as many in the crowed sense the silent interaction between the two men. On the day they meet they fight a tournament of two men against five and emerge victorious taking down five capable veteran soldiers with ease. Ammar reflects that it was like their two bodies where commanded by a single mind.<br />

Over the next few months the two men engage in a number of adventures working together. They swap lead position back and forth without any difficulty or rancour. As event move in the wider world it becomes clear that the Jaddites (Christians) of Esperana and the Asharites (Muslims) of Al-Rassan are on a collision course. Both men choose to deffer the decision even as they discuss there limited choices in what Rodrigo describes as a war in which most of the combatants will be "Driven by hatred and holiness." Rodrigo asks the question: "what shall do men do in such a war, Ammar? Ammar's bleak answerer: "Kill each other, until something ends in the world."<br />

Shortly after this exchange comes one final adventure as they rescue the family of the mutual friend (and Ammar's final lover) Jahane bet Ishak from the path of the invasion. There they are met by the army of Valledo (Rodrigo's home) and the king of that country a man of culture who while bent on conquest would prefer not to wage holly war offers Rodrigo the postion of Constable and Rodrigo offers to share that position and power with Ammar so that together perhaps they can keep the war from being "worse than ugliness."<br />
<br />
Ammar cannot accept because of loyally to his own people, heritage and religion but manly because he Killed that last Caliph of Al-Rassan and now it is he who carries the burden of defending that land.<br />

And so the war begins each leading the principle army of there respective side until a challenge to single combat is offered and accepted as it must be. And so two men meet at sunset to do battle, two men who would rather set aside their arms and be friends but who cannot because of the obligations their place in society puts on them. So they battle a battle that on lookers say resembles a dance as at first they prove a match for each other until the final brutal exchange of blows where one is wounded and the other kill and the survivor weeps over the body of the man he has killed.<br />
<SPOILER ALERT><br />
<br />
<br />
Ammar who survives writes this of Rodrigo the epitaph the will stand over his grave<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The moment I have chose to depict is the pause in their single combat that happens after the first exchange of blows and parries they are sizing each other up again and perhaps they are each dealing with the realisation that this battle is actually happening and that only one of them will survive (and what survival will cost). Guy Kay is limited in his description saying only that Rodrigos helmet has an Eagle and Ammar's has a pattern of vines. I put the vines on Ammar's shield as well as his head band. I also dressed him in a red cloak since the city who's army he lead was famous for its red dyes. Rodrigo bears a shield with the emblem of the sun and I tried to suggest the eagle on his helmet. His cloak is yellow as that color is sacred to the sun worshipping Jaddites and he stands as the champion of that faith. Both Figures are 28mm the Rodrigo figure is from Crusader miniatures El Cid collection and is in fact the dismounted el Cid on whom Rodrigo is partly based. For Ammar is from the Andalusian command set that are part of the Artizan collection. So with the bonus these should add 60 points to the pile.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My entry for the Fellowship Round is a group of Jugoslavian Partisans from 1943, part of the Balkan project I'm working on at the moment. 'Brotherhood and Unity' was the main slogan of Jugoslavian Communists both during and after the war, a statement of fellowship that has proven all too elusive in the region.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The main reason for the success of Tito's partisan movement in WWII was that it was based on unity through ideology rather than sectarian identity. After the dismemberment of Jugoslavia by the Nazis in 1941 and the creation of the fascist Croatian state, what had been Jugoslavia was wracked by unimaginable brutality. Serbian Chetniks sought to 'cleanse' territory of Croatians and Muslims, the Croatian Ustashe began a genocide of Serbs, Jews and Muslims that made hardened Nazis queasy, and Bosnian Muslims began their own 'ethnic cleansing', especially once they were armed and organised through Himmer's SS.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In contrast, the Partisan movement led by Tito consciously rejected ethnic sectarianism. Its goal of establishing a pan-ethnic Communist state led to conflict with the other main resistance group, the Serbian Chetniks, with the result that the Chetniks ended up by 1943 collaborating with the Nazis against the Partisans.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By the end of the war the Partisans numbered about 800,000 men and women, drawn from every part of Jugoslavia. In addition to the fighters, the Women's Antifascist Front supported the Partisans, took over the burden of agriculture, and also worked to care for and educate the huge numbers of children orphaned by the violence.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Partisans I painted this week are meant to represent a group from late 1943 in Croatia or Western Bosnia. They have managed to uniform most of their members from Italian uniforms captured after the Italian capitulation, and have managed to get hold of an Italian L3/33 tankette, rapidly painting red stars over the Italian markings. A few men still have civilian clothing, and a couple wear German tunics. Weapons are either of German or Italian origin.</span></div>

I thought he looked like a Napoleonic Russian general, and painted him up thus inspired. His pistol is an Eldar prize.</span><br />

I painted the sculpt in an industrial yellow, which I think I've now got the hang of. He's got lots of nice detailed hatches and access ports.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've rather enjoyed painting these varied and colourful figures. BSF has allowed GW to dig into its history a bit, and is an excuse for weirder and more wonderful miniatures. The game really is a dungeon crawl in space, with archetypal elf rangers, clerics, wizards, thieves <i>etc</i>. It was a goal of mine to get this set done over the Challenge, which I'm glad to say I have done. It has, however, taken me longer than planned- which I really should have anticipated.</span></div>

I chose the Foundry Miniatures Downed German Aircrew. These are old sculpts but terrific sculpts from the infamous Perry Twins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These can be used for any WW2 Game, specifically I will be using them for Chain of Command and Bolt Action. They could be an objective or a squad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I haven't painted WW2 in 28mm in a long time so it is nice to return to the subject. I really think there is a special bond, or shall we say fellowship among men who served as bomber aircrew in the war, regardless of what flag they fought under.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The miniatures depicted here tell the story of our fellowship's most desperate hour. They are shotdown, they survived and now they are behind enemy lines. Are they in a lush field in England? Rural France? or is our fellowship desperately avoiding capture from the Soviets somewhere on the Eastern Front?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This should net me a very handy 90 points. 8 x 28mm Figures plus bonus round.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My original plan for the Fellowship Theme was a Pathfinder Party, highlighting figures of some of the NPCs I've introduced into my games over the last year and a half or so. However, the crunch of time and fate put the kibosh on that plan. So, instead, I decided the best Fellowship Theme entry harkens back to the Side Duels, and how Curt brought them on to keep us motivated. Way back in the mists of time, Challenge Ate to be exact, I challenged Iannick to a side duel on Oldhammer Games Workshop. You can see the Challengers meet on the Field of Honour below:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Curt called brushes down, Iannick had painted an entire Forest Goblin army, and I had painted a Dwarven Gyrocopter. I blame those stupid Warlord paratroopers, plus Squirrel! So I owed him a painted goblin figure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Digging through my available figures and hit upon the shaman pack:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As with the Curtgeld, I wanted Iannick to have a figure he could use in his collection. Since his army is all forest goblins, and these are night goblins, this required a bit of thinking. Now, I also have no desire to paint a whole bunch of black, so I decided long ago to make my Goblin army snow goblins, kind of like Night Goblins, but inhabiting the same snow and craggy realm as my Dwarves. Mixed pairs and all that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I went with gray robes and a terra cotta hat, which should blend him into Iannick's horde a little, while still allowing him to stand out a bit. Per the suggestion from Teemu way back in Challenge VII, the base is deliberately simple, so Iannick can finish him up to match the rest of his forces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's the obligatory selfie. I'd been seriously tempted to use Barks' Kraken Skin and Soft Tone from the Mercenary Theme, but instead decided to use a more traditional goblin skin tone in Apple Barrel's Clover Fields. I toned it down with a green brown Military Wash from Army Painter. The bones are my standard mix, and the hat is a brick red triad of craft paints that I use.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fellowship automatically conjures up thoughts of Lord Of The Rings, but for me the greatest "Fantasy" film, if not the greatest film ever is The Princess Bride. These two chaps form a strong fellowship throughout the film. Inigo Montoya the swordsman out to avenge the death of his father and Fezzik a gigantic wrestling monster.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The film was released in 1987 and has a large cult following, it's one of those movies that you either "get" or you don't. If you enjoy viewing it, you can pretty much guarantee that if you meet a stranger who also loves the film you will become friends.</span><br />

They are avaliable from a Company called Antediluvian Miniatures and come in a pack of four with two other characters from the movie. They are fantastic sculpts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had already decided I wanted to end the Bonus rounds with a Lord of the Rings themed entry when I saw that the final theme would be 'Fellowship'. I gave the idea some thought and one scene from the films stood out - the battle at Weathertop. I had some old bits of GW scenery that could be cleaned and recycled and I was sure I had some unpainted Nazgul somewhere in my lead mountain. Sure enough, I found the components for a little diorama featuring a Sam and Frodo figure combo that I found on eBay.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Nazgul were simple enough to paint, although I did add a little 'dirt' around the bottom of their cloaks so they are not just plain black. For Frodo and Sam I found a reference picture from the films to get the colours approximately right. I used army painter wash rather than my normal ink on these and I think that worked well considering their small size and fine detail. When I discovered the statue it was already painted, but so battered and chipped that I decided to strip it and repaint it from scratch so that I could use it in this model.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Nazgul are approximately 28mm, the hobbits are the same scale but stand about 22mm tall and the statue towers over the lot, coming in at about 55mm (it's not technically a figure so I'm not expecting points for that). I had wanted to add more terrain but time was pressing and in the end, I'm glad I went with the simpler layout.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The above quote by Ernst Jünger, an officer during both World Wars and author of the famous "Storm of Steel" where he recounts his experiences in the Great War, pretty much sums up my thoughts when creating this little vignette.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"It's not what we're fighting for that's important, but how we fight."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the quote is taken completely out of context -for those interested it's taken from the 1922 essay "Der Kampf als inneres Erlebnis"- it still rings true on its own I feel. In a struggle for survival where each breath you take could be your last one, it's how we treat our fellow men, be they comrades or enemies, what separates the human from the animal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's all too common for the animalistic side in us coming to the fore when put under pressure. Even more so when our lifes are at stake. When the pure will to persevere, to survive is the only thing that keeps men going. I think that's when the world is at its darkest.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But when the world is getting darker it's the more important to see those bright little flashes. Those acts of humanity, of selflessness. It's cheap and easy for all of us to call for justice, for empathy when sitting in a cushy chair, far removed from those dark corners. But when you find yourself in the thick of it, when bullets whistle by or shells explode around you, or you have to stand in for your believes, live up to your ideals in the face of darkness, that's when it's most important for us to remain human. Not to succumb to the beast that lurks in all of us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So with rather dark and gloomy thoughts like these in my mind I set about to create my entry for "Fellowship". Fellowship in this case meaning not simply a tightly knitted group of people like in the probably most famous fellowships of all, the "Fellowship of the Ring" By R.R. Tolkien, but more the general fellowship of men. I'm not a religious person, but apart from Ernst Jüngers quote above, another phrase that came to my mind time and again while I worked on this vignette was: "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me. (Mt 25:40)"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The vignette was created from several different pieces. The fallen soldier is a German casualty figure from <a href="http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=593">Great War Miniatures</a>, The British medic is from a character pack by <a href="https://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/BRIT08_British_Character_Pack--product--4898.html">Woodbine Design Company</a> (sold by Gripping Beast), who was given an helmeted head taken from a Late War British figure from Great War Miniatures. The right hand was replaced with a plastic one from a Warlord Games sprue and the arm was repositioned as to look as if gently closing the eyes of the recently fallen enemy. The discarded rifle again was taken from a plastic sprue by Warlord.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Originally I had intended to paint a "Triptych" of vignettes depicting different interpretations of the same theme. But alas time constraints saw this plan come to nought.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Given the rather dark theme of this entry I thought it only fitting to resort to painting it in greyscale as I did with my <a href="https://thepaintingchallenge.blogspot.com/2015/02/from-martinn-28mm-first-indochina-viet.html">Indochina Wars project</a> a few challenges back. Despite the dark mood I enjoyed working on it immensely. </span></div>

I considered giving it a miss this year, purely because I was concerned that I wouldn’t do the event justice, but the level of support and consideration has been such that it has positively lifted my spirits, thank you one and all. I can think of no finer example of fellowship than the level of support that is offered by all throughout the challenge months and here we are at the final bonus round with an opportunity to represent that very phenomenon with our own creations. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To that end let me present my efforts, a selection for miniatures and ships for Star Wars: Legion, loosely arranged to give a sense of the battle that raged on the frozen planet of Hoth during the Empire Strikes Back. The concept, such that it was, is the idea of never leaving someone behind, here transported to a galaxy far, far away. As the stricken pilot fumbles with the emergency radio controls, his co-pilot bravely strides towards the towering behemoth that is threatening to crush everything in its path. Then, and just in the nick of time, air support arrives to halt the advance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The T-47 Airspeeder, will always be a Snowspeeder to me and even though I have a hankering for a Tatooine themed board, I was struggling to see past the ice fields of Hoth. I decided that there was only one thing for it and that was to create a second flight stand, so that I could deploy the ship in both climates. I sourced some acrylic rod and attached a rare earth magnet to the top and fixing another to the speeder; this will mean, I can simply swap out the ship and fix it to another base. I had tried to get it to tilt, but had to settle for just swivel at the moment. The obliterated Probe Droid was sadly not an original idea, but one that I had seen on an Instagram account that I follow and was just too cool not to try and replicate. I couldn’t bring myself to cut up one of my original probe droids, but managed to cast the head of one using insta-mold and some Greenstuff. A few foam rocks and some pumice gel, completed the illusion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The basing technique was repeated with the downed Snowspeeder. The craft itself is a Revell plastic kit, that I assembled, then broke! There are available at Amazon for a few pounds and although slightly smaller than the Fantasy Flight model it is not so small to prevent it being used as a terrain piece. Finally then to the miniatures and again these are 3D prints from Skull Forge studios. I don’t know how often young Skywalker will be used in battle given the incredibly delicate lightsabre, but again both were exquisitely designed and make really interesting additions to the collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it came to the photography, some fake snow was used and eagled eyed viewers may have spotted the probe droid from my first bonus round, lurking in the distance. The AT-AT leg, is actually just the leg, I haven’t yet completed the whole Revell 1:53 scale model. That said it was enough to sell the illusion and I gave it a little shake when the shutter was open to create the effect of movement. Finally the special effects used for the blizzard, laser fire and lightsabre are all created using LenFX; thank you Barks for the heads up on such a fun app.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is my submission for this weekends final bonus round. A classic Fantasy "fellowship" is a Warrior, Wizard, Dwarf and Elf. As I mentioned during the Mercenary round, I bought a large number of fantasy miniatures from Hasslefree Miniatures. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I dug into the collection and found the figures necessary to make my fellowship. The twist is that they're all female! I'm fairly happy with how they turned out. The details on these minis are so fine it was quite difficult painting them at times. I tried experimenting with painting the eyes, but I kept getting a Homer Simpson result, so I abandoned the attempt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> My final bonus round submission is the "Earp Faction" from Knuckledusters "Gunfighters Ball" range. The faction consists of the three Earp Brothers and there three close allies. This submission should make all of you want to go and re-watch the movie Tombstone</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The first group consists of Doc Holiday, Virgil Earp and Texas Jack Vermillion (now that's a name, isn't it?).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The other three members of the Earp faction are Turkey Creek Johnson, Wyatt and Morgan Earp. The figures are cast as they were thought to appear on October 26, 1881 for the gunfight at the OK Corral. Well almost, as Texas Jack and Mr Johnson were not present in that famous but very short gunfight (it lasted 30 seconds). Those two joined the clan for the famous "Earp Vendetta Ride" from March 20th to April 15th of 1882. The ride resulted in the deaths of most of the Cowboy faction under dubious legal grounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do wish we used named like Texas Jack Vermillion more often in todays business world. It would make the bland business meetings I endure just a little bit better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The ride was caused by the wounding of Virgil in an ambush and assignation of Morgan while he was playing pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the movie Tombstone is a great action flick, it does present a rather sanitized version of Wyatt Earp. In reality he was a complex and somewhat shady character. Prior to his becoming a lawman in Dodge city he dabbled on the other side of the legal system and had numerous arrests for misdeeds including (1) Stealing tax proceeds as a tax collector, (2) Stealing horses from Indian country (both of these were in Missouri. Wyatt escaped from jail while being held on the horse stealing charges and that warrant remained open the rest of his life. Upon leaving Missouri, he went to Peoria, Illinois were he was eventually arrested again but this time shared with operating a, ummm, house of ill-repute. all of these deeds happened in the space of six months in 1872.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think this particular Bonus Round was the first one I decided upon. One of the games that we as a group seem to enjoy is Warhammer: Underworlds. Sometimes referred to as Shadespire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is GW's competitive game set within the Age of Sigmar universe. Small Warbands of 3-8 figures battling it out across boards filled with hexagonal spaces. The game also has a deck building mechanic that adds further depth and each of the warbands plays a little differently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Add on to this the fact that each warband has a points value for the main Age of Sigmar game so they can be fielded as elite units on large battlefields and you've got a win win.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the Fellowship I decided that I wasn't going to do a warband as that would be too simple... note to self - next time don't listen to me... and instead I wanted to create a Fellowship of the 5 Chaos Warband Leaders... the actual warbands will follow...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I present, therefore, <b>The Chaos Commander Concord</b> - or Triple C as they like to call themselves!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's intriguing how Curt keeps coming up with themes that force us to delve into the unfamiliar regions of our unpainted collections. I found it hard to come up with anything like an original idea, but rooting around in the dusty recesses of the lead Alps, I found this telling image of a wounded French Trooper being brought in for treatment. The figures come from the Perrys' Napoleon in Egypt range, which (pretty much like all their figures) includes some beautiful sculpts of some exotic uniforms.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is Lurtz, Saruman's first Uruk-Hai Commander - destroyer of the Fellowship of the Ring. Leading a small warparty of Uruks, Lurtz tracked and attacked the Fellowship in the ruins of Amon Hen. While Lurtz was both defeated in his mission to capture Frodo and the ring, and killed in encounter, the Gondorian hero Boromir was slain and the Fellowship was broken.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a 28mm GW fig in their smaller (and nicer IMO) LOTR proportions. I have used Vallejo Mahogany Brown as the base for the skin to fit with his dark tone in the movie. As a Curtgeld figure I have refrained from the basing so that it can match the rest of the horde when it arrives.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Points wise that is 5 points for 28mm fig, plus 20 points for Curtgeld an adding the bonus round 50 points - that's a high yield 75 points for a single figure! :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't think that the theme of fellowship is better summed up in literature than by William Shakespeare in Henry V:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

Although I had painted up Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimili some time ago, I had never got around to painting up the remaining five members of the Fellowship, so this was the perfect opportunity to get them done.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of these are GW metal figures sourced from Ebay, as I never bought the original Fellowship boxed set, and I have no love for the more recent plastic version.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First up we have Gandalf the Grey. I do like this sculpt, the dynamic pose is really characterful. I did try to do a glowing effect from the crystal at the top of his staff, but it looked absolutely pony, so re-painted the top brown.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next we have Merry (on the left) and Pippin (right). I have painted these as if they are wearing Elven cloaks, although I think the sculpts are based on their appearance from earlier in the movie. Pippin has a red cloak at that point, so I did his scarf red as a nod to that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next are Sam and Frodo. Again, very characterful. I can imagine Sam charging off to Frodo's defense, whilst Frodo himself leans back, clutching the <strike>Precious</strike> Ring. I tried to give Frodo's sword, Sting, a blue glaze to represent what happens when enemies are near but I need more practice I think! I also love the fact that they come with packs, with Sam's being suitably larger than Frodo's (it even has a spoon and small pot sculpted on).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's the full set, although a couple of the shy ones are hiding in the back row. I'll see if I can draw them forth shortly. These miniatures come in Red Hat's board game <i>Mice & Mystics</i> and its expansion <i>Downwood Tales. </i>The game features a royal (Human) household that overtaken by an evil sorceress and the heroes change themselves into mice to escape. long the way they battle cockroaches, rats, centipedes and spiders (including their human enemies who also morph themselves). It is a surprising good play, with simple rules, great story line scenarios, a good challenge and lots of nice colour. The currency is cheese, there's a ring of cat strength magic item and triggering a mouse trap means that your mouse both takes a hit and gets a cheese. Better yet you can find a dinner fork and mouse-a-pult yourself over danger.</span></div>

Nez is a tinkerer (which is sometimes useful) and a warrior which is always useful especially when he uses his Thundersqueak ability. Lily has always been a mouse and is a member of a local mouse clan that Colin befriends. We meet her in one of the early scenarios when they rescue her from a mousetrap.</span></div>

As with Lily, these characters have always been critters. Jakobe the gecko is their guide and carries a boomerang. He looks chatty and may try and sell us car insurance. Ansel is a valiant mouse warrior and wears a serpent scale breastplate. Ditty the shrew is a scamp. She carries a peppercorn sling and a fiddle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this theme, I offer a <i>fellowship </i>from the Minimoto Clan. A new project debuting. Bushido by <a href="https://gctstudios.com/">GCT Studios</a> has been around for a good few years and offers a fair range of factions in their fantastical Samurai setting of the Jwar Isles. As a skirmish game of about half a dozen figures a side, most of the minis are named characters with unique stat lines and abilities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A new faction released in 2018, I couldn’t resist their armoured Ashigaru and massive tetsubo maces. I settled on a grey-blue as clan colour to tie all of the different miniatures together and grey armour. This is in contrast to the studio examples, which use red.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An ashigaru, the core fighters of the Minimoto faction, Yoshinobu Masaema is, apparently, a more experienced and capable example. I really dig this sculpt, in his relaxed but menacing pose.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A young ashigaru, Raiko fights without armour, and with a staff rather than tetsubo. In game, he's a low points (or "rice") cost character in a faction which tend towards the pricey.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hauru is a blacksmith, which is one of the Minimoto faction’s things: these guys go to war, which does feel a little impractical, even with a tiny anvil nestled out of shot behind his leg. The pose is him offering up a large, freshly-forged tetsubo for his fellows to use.</span><br />
