Jaeckel's Castle Wittgenstein - Conclusion

Another OWAC, another (small) army painted. As often, despite the months of preparation, new ideas have emerged during the challenge, some finalized in due time, others deferred to a later date (and most probably given up forever). This year, flipping through the pages of "Death on the Reik", I have (re-)discovered an incredibly rich scenario, full of weird ideas, and nicely illustrated by late Martin McKenna. 

 This resulted in adding to the initial plan the ogre torturer, the Wittgenstein creature, and the ugly Slurd. I wish I had more time to work on some cavalry, using beastmen as scouts, to build a cage wagon filled with peasants captured beyond the frontiers of Wittgenstein baronny, or to work on a new unit of mutants/beggars. Anyway... Let's recap what has been done for this sixth edition of the OWAC (and my fourth participation).

• 10 crossbowmen (100 points), plus one guy painted in January that was meant to complement a more difficult month (never shown before);

 

• 15 halberdiers with musician and standard-bearer (153 points), plus Shif Doppler, level 10 hero with flail and heavy armour (59 points);

 

• 15 peasants with musician, mascotte and spears (112), supported (cough cough) by their good doctor Rousseaux, incompetent level 5 wizard (60 points);

 

• 10 cannibals (fleglers) with musician and standard bearer (108 points);

 

• and finally, the general, a level 15 sorceress (155 points), and her suite of weirdos, including a mercenary ogre with light armour and double-handed weapon (256 points).

 Total: 1003 points... that was close! 😛

At this stage, I have to admit that I'm not sure to join the next edition of the OWAC. The not-yet-released range of AOS Cities of Sigmar is incredibly appealing (can't help seeing Gary Chalk's influence in some designs), and chances are high that I'll paint a lot of plastic in the coming months. We'll see... 

 Anyway, thanks again Iannick for the organization, the two-headed lamb is finally on its way to Canada!
