This isn't quite a 'painting' achievement, but I'm going to count them anyway -- I just finished 13 French cuirassiers.
They're a bit special, as I did not paint the figures myself. At the bring and buy at the Crisis convention earlier this year, I picked up a 28mm French Napoleonic army for a very cheap price. The figures are painted in a basic single colour style and have suffered a bit from use and transport. However, given the price, they were a bargain.
The idea with them is to touch up the paint jobs where necessary, give them a dip in [Army Painter Dip](http://www.nirya.be/snv/ttm/archives/000347.html) and finally rebase them. I have done just that for the cuirassiers: touched up a few scuffed paint areas, painted in little '7's on their saddlebags (cognoscenti may now correct me with the correct Napoleonic term :) ) and dipped them.
Even though it is not a full paint job, there is still some time spent on these 'transformations', so I'm awarding myself half points for them. That means these bring me 13 points (out of a normal 26 for 13 cavalry figures), or a total of 44 this month. Painting is picking up again, it seems.
Photos to follow as their basing is finished.

ReplyDeleteI should like to see the results of the process.
What rule system are you working towards an what are your frontages?
I am working on a lot of Perry plastics at the moment for 6 years hence, but it would be nice to stick some units in a carry case and get a game when I am in town.
