Merijn's The knee bone's connected to the...(198pts)

Not quite the 11th hour but too close for comfort. I originally planned to eat the frog and start this challenge by painting a big block of Nightmare Legion, get all the repetitious stuff out of the way. Maybe the powers that be got upset I didn't choose Nurgle, I spend most of 2019's precious free time so far in physiotherapy.

Still, even if I'm not in it to win it, I do want to go the distance. So I set a more realistic goal and painted Harold of Beeckerhoven with a minor cadre of well-equipped skeletons. Unfortunately, their shields are still in the mail so I'll leave it up to our arbiter to see if I make the cut.

Painting wise I kept them basic. Eventually, these will be the back rank guys since the Legion has enough leaders, champions and other command staff to fill up a front rank. Some red for their rags because I fondly remember the red period.

The bases took a lot of hemming and hawing but ultimately I started this project because I wanted the army I never had back in the 90s. So I committed to goblin green bases with a sunburst yellow drybrush.

Harold himself was fun the paint. A clean and simple sculpt but full of flamboyant character. The Skeletor inspired colour scheme seems popular for this guy.

Next month I'll probably try for another 10 skeletons and some cavalry.

Point's wise we're looking at a total of 198
