Since I have diddley when it comes to WWI stuff, I had to place an order.

Still waiting for figs to ship, so depending on timing I may end up foregoing the bonus points for that round, and pulling something out of the Collective.

What is cool is that if the figs do come in in time, I can refer to Frank's most excellent rd 7 entry, as that is what I have on order, if you sub camels for horses... :)

Round 8 in, Round 9 almost finished.  No bonus for me for Round 10, as I have no WWI minis at all.  Still haven't decided what I am going to do though.

Submitted at 2:30 AM!  Each week gets a little bit later, so I'm glad there are only two weeks left!

It's a poisonus drug, is what it is. I know it is not good for me, yet i persist.  >:D I am effing stupid that way just like the idea that I can drive through the narrow medieval streest of Visby with a combi while tired and stressed out like I did this morning. I could just *shit*: long sodding scratch along the side.  >:(
lol
Never done that. Oh, I have. The garage door cost me a few quid to repair as well :( Damn new V70 with their fancy pancy steering capabilities and automatic gear >:(

It's always something....

Good news - Received my Rd 10 figs in mail today. (thanks to Brigade Games for speedy processing and shipping)

Bad news - In prepping the figs this evening, it appears the camel riders do not fit on the camels, unless they are laid back as if sitting in a recliner, or are positioned way out almost on the camels neck.  Great... either one of those will look real nice...

So did some googlin' and sure enough find a blog entry from '09 that speaks to this exact issue, so I know I am not imagining things.

No time to address this with BG, so do a reorg of the team to be painted - luckily I ordered extra foot figs, so can add a couple of them to replace two of the camel riders.

Spent the evening sculpting suitable support - saddle and blankets, gear, etc so that remaining two riders will sit upright. Another late night...yeah, no prob.   o_o

I have heard of the same problem.  It might be that you need to match the right figure to the right camel.

Yep, there's one figure that can only fit on one of the two camel poses. The other three are messed up. From info on the blog (wargamingthegreatwar) post, the poses were originally one piece sculpts, and in separating rider from camel they really dorked it up....

Given the prices they charge for a single camel w/ rider, it ought to be good to out of the gate...

Well, rounds 9 and 10 are photographed and sent in. I am burnt out  o_o

I had to complete two teams in a week, since I'm off into the wilderness for seven days on a camping/photography trip, starting Sunday.

Hopefully they're up to the competition :)

Good luck gents!

Good luck with the weather.   You sure you can go 7 days without painting or are you bringing some figure to work on?  lol

Real life has struck me and I have not been able and will not be able to take the time I need to complete the last two rounds. A pity a they are very close to completion. Travel for work and family takes priority, it's just how it is. I hope I will muster a will to complete them later as I though they were quite good ideas for entries, although not on the priority list for game projects.
