I think I am using lots of T-34s but I might be using something a bit more in period if there are an odd number in FLames of War

Talking of getting excuses in early I've gone for the "I've just painted it so I'm going to use it" approach. So Lord Corduroy Burping Frog Trousers and his Aztec army will be there.

At least the dead pile will be pretty....

Any relation to the Chichester Burping Frog Trousers? I think Bunty was a FANY during the war or have I got that the wrong way round

In which case I'll use the "I'm still painting it and won't have used it before the comp" excuse then

And the army most likely to win the "most figures on a base" prize

True. There won't be many bases with more than 52 figures

Using the same 'I've just painted it so I'm using it' excuse. In this case I'm just taking a break from the painting to post this. Later Lithuanians.

Mind you I've set myself a challenge for the Celtic cup,2 months to paint Incas,9 Bg's of slingers....

I suddenly find myself 4 bases of LH Bow short for my army for the Challenge - in 25mm.

Is there some kind soul out there who will be at Ascot who would be willing to lend them to me please?

Thanks in anticipation.

I like the way Pete doesn't say what army they are for - can we penalise him if they are not the right figures for his army

How are you going to make painting 9 BGs of slingers take 2 months?
