Ruerhl's mulligan

Morrslieb is at its highest in the sky. Leading everyone who wanders at night to unknown paths.

Next month more time for me.

Qrab's Chaos: March Marauders Madness (205 points)

After finishing early last month, and with only five models left to paint for the challenge, I was optimistic that I'd be one of the first to finish the challenge. But here it is the last week of March and I've just now finished painting those five models. Where did the fucking time go?

Also, after last month's disaster, I decided to wait for it warms up before I apply the clear coat. So, for now these guys are attached to their bases with pins (no glue). Looking at the close up photos I see some rough spots I'm not really happy with, so after the challenge is over I might do some touch ups.

Anyway, this month I present the front rank for my unit of Chaos Marauders with two-handed weapons, for a total of 205 points. I kept to the same color scheme used for the models in the rear rank, but it appears I flipped the steel and black armor pieces.

The front rank

Mustafa’s Wodzo The Irrational and Krauluggetch The Vagrant (423pts)

Wodzo The Irrational and Krauluggetch The Vagrant

I felt so bad about my mulligan the other month that I decided to double my efforts this month! Yes, TWO stunty retinues for your viewing pleasure!

Lissanne's High Elves- Waiting for Feanor or someone like him (279pts)

This month I have done my mandatory General on a chariot.  I have been calling him Feanor, but when it came down to it, I didn't think the figure I had represents Feanor well at all. So I matched the paint scheme to my army banner, and it will be a useful leader, or a hero if I find my Feanor later on. (General 160+4 for sword, spear, heavy armor, Chariot 84 total 248pt)

Jeff's Dark Elves - March (200 points)

March did not go as planned, the kids' spring sports seasons starting up meant that "Dad's Taxi" was operating much later into the evening, and the distractions were many (Necromunda, I'm looking at you....). So, by the 25th it had become obvious that I was not going to finish the 20 strong unit of Mengil's Manhides as I had planned to.  While contemplating the dark shame of having to use my Mulligan, it occurred to me that I just might be able to turn the hydra I had planned for the end around pretty quickly.   I did manage to pull that off, (nothing terribly fancy, mind you), so here he is....200 points of plastic toy glory freshly painted and pressed into Oldhammer service.

Ratwig's Dark Elf Repeater Crossbows (306pts)

My entry for March: Jownj ‘Et and the Blackhearts.

14 Crossbows with level 10 leader: 306 points total.

Equipment: Hand weapon, repeater crossbow, light armor, shield, musician.

A unit of repeater crossbows who will be used as a short range assault missile unit or a skirmisher unit. If used as a formed unit, they can put out a hail of missile fire before going in to clean up survivors. They should have no problems operating in skirmish order to cause problems for the other side. This unit gets me over my 20 elf minimum for crossbows.

These are all Marauder figs except one. I couldn’t find enough old round Marauder shields, so I used Gripping Beast Successor Shields instead. They are smaller but have the same general shape as the original Marauder shields, even with a small indentation on the inside that fits the Marauder shield stubs on the figs quite nicely.
