That's it! Four units of Beja infantry (two with spears, one with swords, and one with rifles) for my Mahdist army!
And a few trees (I'm up to around a dozen - I've been fitting these into spare moments between units). Just twelve camel riders and a mounted Emir (got a head start on these today, though sadly I don't think I'll have much time tomorrow to make further progress over the weekend) and I'll be ready to march on the infidels!
I'm working on a small, straight forward scenario now, a reconnaissance in force by a British company to investigate reports of massing enemy troops in a nameless village east of Ginnis that could threaten the southern rail line. It will (hopefully) be the first shots in a mini-campaign!

From RossM: Misc 28mm - 7 points
Another small post with a few pieces that have been lingering around for too long.
Next up are a two pieces of scatter terrain from Games Workshop's Lord of the Rings SBG. These have been painted with an arid climate in mind and as a result only one has some additional scenic material added.
First up is an old figure from Citadel or Marauder Miniatures back in the day. Always liked this figure and painted this one too match some skeletons from a previous AHPC.
These will see a fair amount of use when gaming is able to start again in the future and will included games such as Mortal Gods and the Rampant series.
So where does this take the AHQC totals to? Well it will be no surprize that this isn't a high hitter on the points front however every little helps as they say
These are worth a grand total of 7 points - 5 for the skeleton and 1 each for the terrain pieces. This takes the running total to 135 points out of 500 or 27% so a little progress made.
Hope that you found this interesting
Cheers for now

AdamC: Top Sail Schooner
My Xebec Project left me with some extra bits and pieces and I used them to build some schooner. I made this one a Top Sail Schooner.
Top Sail Schooners were popular ships for trade and privateering. They were swift sailors especially good as sailing close to the wind. Cargo capacity was relatively limited but for small high value cargos schooners were ideal.
I
cut out the sails for these myself then realized I had not rigged the ship yet!
fortunately I was able to get in enough rigging to make it work but I don't
want to make that my regular approach.
