No actual miniatures painted this week.. however, I have painted and based 4 Cities of Death buildings, several terrain peices for a Oil Refinery, more ruined corners than I care to count, as well as helping my group with making 33 rock mounds, a giant Imperial Silo, 15 more CoD buildings and a dozen barrel piles..

(can you tell that Origins is coming and we need terrain?)
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

Whatever!
You assembled and painted it. It's probably bigger than any two models you've done yet, combined. LOL

I think HZ just doesn't want to get his butt kicked! LOL :wink:

I'm already getting my butt handed to me 20 times over. So that doesn't matter to me. However, the theme of the contest is minis. Buildings are not included. That said, if you would like to start a terrain challenge and put your modeling skills where your mouth is feel free. :mrgreen:

It's not my skills that would hold me back. In a "one off" contest or something, I could do well.
All due respect to him, I'd pit my skills up against smeone professional like BITZJUNKIE, easily.

My problem is speed. :'( Same reason I'm not bothering with the painting Challenge. LOL

In the time someone like BJ could fill a board with terrain, I'd just be finishing up my first piece. :wink:

Not sure how to classify this... undead army reclamation project?

Got this army in parts. 99% of the models were broken, chipped, de-based, snapped etc.. lousy shape and poor paint job. If I had been more on the ball, I would have taken "before" pics..

After repair, touch up paint, full bore repaint, rebasing, etc.. I have this. I don't think this should qualify for full points, but I throw it up here for half points..

5 zombiefied Bretonian Knights
10 skeletal cavalry
20 skeletons with hand weapons and shields
15 Zombies (10 in the shot are mine for visual appeal)
3 bases of Spirit Hosts
1 Mounted WIght Lord

4 movement trays with flocking and edging.

(and of course, the mandatory lousy image)
