Very nice entries.
This should have 200 instead of 100.

[Phil Robinson]

89. Danish Foot Guard Officer 1680's

The pointy officer, obligatory to every range it seems

The pointy officer, obligatory to every range it seems

Lovely painting, great figure.

Pointy officers are generally called Rupert and are usually to be found saying "You, that man there, stand up straight!".  

[Captain Blood]

I think I've painted him too. Either that or he's in the pile... A very characterful Front Rank figure, and an unusual choice in which to paint him Phil. Looks great.

[Orctrader]

I suspect officers of the period did a great deal of finger pointing!

Lovely figure.   

[gamer Mac]

How else would the plebs know where to go with out the pointing officer
Lovely figure

# 90 Renaissance Nobleman



Only now as I post the picture does it occur to me that the pistol-carrying pet monkey might breach the rules – Single figure. 

It’s a Victoria Lamb miniature and Nobleman and Monkey are together.  I’ll leave it to moderators to decide but if it’s disallowed I will graciously accept the ruling.

Pointy officers are generally called Rupert and are usually to be found saying "You, that man there, stand up straight!".  

Funnily enough I did know an officer from the Royal Engineers called Rupert but I never particularly noticed him pointing.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Funnily enough I did know an officer from the Royal Engineers called Rupert but I never particularly noticed him pointing.

Sometimes they just point a man out to the Sergeant-Major and say "Take his name, Sar'nt Major!"  

I’ll leave it to moderators to decide but if it’s disallowed I will graciously accept the ruling.

I hope they allow your entry, it's superb!

[Mad Doc Morris]

Finally this club's taking up steam for the last entries. Well done everybody!

That's a great work at 15mm. 

[Captain Blood]

Oh you can definitely keep the monkey, Malcolm.
I LOVE the monkey. Brilliant. Gorgeous - even if technically in contravention of the letter of the law... But that's monkeys for you... 

15mm Mad Doc? Superb. What a great little character and wonderfully painted 

A pair of beauties, gentlemen. And we do indeed seem to be accelerating towards the end 

[Von Trinkenessen]

92 An as yet unnamed character from the Von Trinkenessen Chronicles

Who can argue with the monkey when he's toting a gun? Lovely figure; the colour scheme shouldn't work but it does.
