AHPC IX

This year Curt is holding the Winter Painting contest again.  I'm mostly doing 25mm stuff this year. The plan is to build a more or less complete Saga/Lion Rampant army that can serve as either Normans or as Crusaders.  I'm also looking flesh out a long held off program of building a Late Roman or Romano-Briton using a box of miniatures I got using a gift card my old roommate Rob got me my Birthday.

I've entered a Lion Rampant side duel.  I'll be using the Norman/Crusader troops for this.  I'm aiming for 750 point and if I get everything painted that I have planned I should be able to get something like 850 points.

There are several Bonus rounds.

• Reconnaissance' (submission deadline Saturday, January 5th / displayed January 6th / voting results January 13th) 
• 'Sport' (submission deadline Saturday, January 19th / displayed January 20th / voting results 27th) 
• 'Mercenary' (submission deadline Saturday, Feb 2nd / displayed Feb 3rd / voting results 
• Feb 10th) 
• 'Water Feature' (submission deadline Saturday, Feb 16th / displayed Feb 17th / voting results Feb 24th) 
• 'Fellowship' (submission deadline Saturday, March 2nd / displayed March 3rd / voting results March 10th)

My concern for the Side duel is I was planning to use figures from my Norman/Crusader program for three of the six the.  I'll have to see how quickly my opponent Bill and any one who joins is proceeding. I've got an alternative for one of the Bonus rounds so we shall see.
