Lopez's Fishkiller's Holiday Elves (232pts)

DONE!!

Yeah!! Take that Santa! And work! And family obligations! And EXCUSES!!

My shit is painted. I really really really learned to hate Bob Naismith Dark Elves this month. I can't wait to go back to my pile of Marauder Dark Elves.

Jeff's mulligan, or how December has kicked my ass

Well it is with a sad face that I must take my Mulligan for December. It's been a bitchy month. So lets just run down the list real quick so we can get back to the people who painted stuff

-New job and I'm the low guy on the totem pole.
-Daughter with Flu
-Other Daughter with a cold
-Wife with a cold (So far I've dodged this bullet)
-Mother-in-law in Hospital for a week, now in Rehab
-Father-in-law almost choking to death and needed Heimlich Maneuver at Christmas dinner. Sister-in-law beat me to him by a second so she did it. And she has medical training which is a plus.

I think that sums it up nicely. Now show me your painted figures so I can live vicariously through them. One day I may game again....one day.

Mike's Waagh Grogguzzler (199pts)

Well December is all but over and I finished the actual painting part with a week to spare, but with all the holiday festivities and what not the post waited until the last day. For December I was excited to be able to not only do some of my favorite models, but also a small unit that would make it easier with the hectic holiday schedule, Trolls!

My favorite troll sculpts!

I have been wanting to own the C20 trolls for awhile and when I signed up for this challenge I quickly knew I wanted to do them and snagged the marsh and hill trolls for a reasonable price with some marauder trolls. Sadly the cave and warrior troll eluded me for this challenge, but someday I will have them. For such a small unit I had a lot of trouble finding colors I liked for each. The hill troll was an easy decision to go with browns and flesh tones, but the stone troll took some work before I got the color I was happy with. That left the marsh troll as the problem child of the bunch. It was painted and stripped with three color schemes before I was happy enough with it's accidental homage to Street Fighter II's Blanka.

So here they are with in all their cunning stupidity

199 points completed for December

 Happy New Year to all my fellow challengers!

Blake's Mulligan time - So tired of medical tests, doctors and even cute nurses......

Well, this is a real drag. Unfortunately I have spent more time at the doctors office and hospital than I have painting: in like a 60 to 1 ratio this month. I'm tired of tests, to be honest. I did manage to get base paint on a whole unit of crossbows and a whole unit of warriors, but they are not nearly completed. should have concentrated on one unit and I probably could have (Maybe?) made it. But right now in too much pain and bother to get em done.

Kenneth's Ruerhl's warhost 3 (229 points)

For more than 30 days Ruerhl waited until his scouts returned. During these days he studied the maps of the shorelines, looking for landing areas and easy prey. Those victims would never know what hit them and it would prove a good time to show how cruel he could be. Maybe he could find him some personal slaves too. Slaves are always good to improve your standing at the court of the Witchking.

Two days later a scout returned bringing with him a sorceror named Kurgot. "My Lord, word has gotten to me that you were in need of magical powers" Kurgot said. "Look no further and accept my aid. The dark arts that I possess are at your service".
"Prove that your words are true" demanded Ruerhl.
With a short incantation and a quick flick of his fingers Kurnot threw a lightning bolt from his hand, hitting and pulvirizing a nearby tree.
"Excellent. Join me and let's talk" asked Ruerhl. Knowing that a mighty sorceror is a fantastic ally. Better not upset him too soon.

Ross' March of the deadites (312pts)

From one extreme to the other, as they say. Last month I painted 4 mummies. This month I painted 24 skeletons. That's quite a leap, but one worthy of Deadcember.

I chose to paint a load of skeletons to balance out my average. The reason I went for 24 rather than 20 is to fill the 12-slot movement trays I use for Kings of War and I didn't fancy leaving 4 models hanging over.

24 skeletons with light armour and spears are 312 points in 3rd edition, 264 in 4th. I'm not counting unit command.

This brings my total up to 632 points for 3rd edition or 444 for 4th.

Next month (January), I am going to add shields to the unit, 3 Carrion and 5 Cavalry.

Ben's High Elf Warhost (219pts)

December has been a bit of a chore for my portion of the army challenge. Twelve more rank and file figures added to the sixteen from November gives me a grand total of 28 figures painted so far. Not too shabby considering how my pace is usually closer to 28 figures a year. Without further delay here are some pics and point values:

Command models for my Guard unit.

The guy with the falcon in a Lvl 5 hero with heavy armor and a halberd(53 points). The standard, musician and champion total 56 points at 14 each plus the music bump. I haven't counted points for the standard because I haven't finished it. I often sit on the couch doing nothing instead of painting little men...
