Rohirrim and the Turn of the Tide 12th Annual Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge (13)
Some more Tolkien Goodies 12 Rohirrim fighting on foot. For me the moment in the Lord of the Rings that Turns the tide is when Gandalf shows up with Erkenbrand and the men of Westford to relieve the army at Helms Deep
First up are 4 Archers I'll have to mix them in with other archers to make them work as a unit for most Wargames but they should help out nicely.
The 8 men armed with hand weapons are great mix prefect for a point of warriors in Saga. I used some Roman shields for a few to keep them form looking too generally Games Workshop. They should mix well with some other Dark age troops I have without standing out too much but also they should stand own their own too. All and all these fellow should net me 60 points plus 20 points for the Luna's theme. They should get me a squirrel point.
Finally a bunch of terrain that is also part of a Games workshop set. I don't have too much to say here its gray stone dry brushed a lighter gray. It should be great for Frostgrave its 9 inches by 9 inches and about 2.25 inches high that is about 85% of a 6x6x6 cube so about 17 points. I should now have enough terrain points to claim another Squirrel point

Spanish Ship of the Line San Justo: 12th Annual Analog Hobbies Painting Challenge (9)
Another naval offering the San Justo from the Spanish Ships of Renowned set. (For a better history see JJ's excellent blog) She was built in 1779 and took part in the Spanish actions of the AWI including the the siege of Gibraltar.
A 3rd rate is 15 points and despite he lackluster combat record San Justo is certainly a Nautical entry so I should another 20 points for Perelandra.
A fine looking vessel even if her battle record hardly makes a ship of renown! Excellent work on the rigging and stern gallery.

AdamC: Royal Navy Visit Coruscant 12th Annual Analog Hobbies Painting Challenge (8)
I return with 4 Royal Navy three decker's 2nd rates in the Royal Navy terms.
The first three are Simon Mann's generic 92 gun ship of the line. It's a fine model I only needed to add some figure heads.
Ok so how do Royal Navy ships count as "Imperial" well I have two strings to that bow. First the Royal Navy was obviously the keystone of the British Empire. People respected the British Empire because even if you managed a short term victory on land the Navy would come sailing over the horizon at some point and bring in more troops and firepower than you could handle. Second the Imperial Navy of Star Wars was clearly modeled after the Royal Navy. This is clear from the upper crust vaguely English accents and mannerisms of it's officer's.
Okay points four 2nd Rates ships of the line should be 25 points each for 100 points plus another 20 for Coruscant (if Peter agrees). This should add another squirrel point. It's good to be back in the game.
