You're right. I did say on Saturday that my AHPC9 stats post would be the next day, but surely you know me better than that by now and realised it would be late.
As you should have worked out by now, this year was my most productive of all the six Challenges I have participated in scoring a total of 3426 points. I also achieved my highest placing, finishing 4th on the table (but a long way behind 3rd place); my previous highest placing was 5th in AHPC6 which was also the year I had my lowest final tally.
My previous highest score was 2522 points in AHPC5, although that year was 15 weeks rather than 13 weeks. I also didn't enter any of the bonus rounds that year. To allow a better comparison, let's adjust those to make AHPC5 13 weeks and remove the bonus round and Curtgeld points from both. I'll leave in the bonus points awarded for flags and at minion discretion for AHPC9 as I don't have those figures for AHPC5.
AHPC5:
Deduct Curtgeld 2522-20 = 2502
Adjust to 13 weeks 2502 x 13/15 = 2168
Adjusted Tally 2168
AHPC9:
Deduct Curtgeld 3426 - 20 = 3406
Deduct Bonus Rounds 3406 - 275 = 3131
Adjusted Tally 3131
That's a 44.4% increase over my previous highest output. Admittedly this time I'm not working, so have more time but the quality level I have been painting to has been substantially higher, particularly with the 28mm character figures but also with the rest of the 28mm. In other words, quality and quantity are both up this year. There were also many, many more 28mm character figures this year than in AHPC5 (71 vs 20) which take much longer to paint than those in squads.
Breaking down my scoring for this year a bit further:
Bonus Rounds - 275 (8.0%)
Curtgeld - 20 (0.6%)
Other Bonuses* - 29** (0.8%)
28mm - 1452 (42.4%)
15mm - 1650 (48.2%)
Total -=3426
*Flags, random generosity from minions
** I've deducted the 37 bonus points Lee added for the size of the Stronty Dog figures and included them in the 28mm total
Crikey! 3102 points of painted figures, vehicles and terrain in 3 months!
Breaking things down further:
28mm
Foot - 258 + 3 small crewed weapons/bits scored as foot
mounted - 0
Crewed weapons - 1
Vehicles -1
Terrain - 4 cubes* (I've included the Lady Sarah as terrain although it was scored as 2 vehicles)
* for the Challenge a terrain "cube" is 6" x 6" x 6"
15mm
Foot - 535 + 4 small crewed weapons scored as foot
Mounted - 114
Crewed weapons - 27
Vehicles - 1
And by theme (as per my previous post; points include all bonuses):
World War 2
15mm Soviets: 542 points
28mm Soviet Women 120 points
28mm early WW2 Aussies 622 points
28mm Waffen SS 50 points
Total = 1334 points (38.9%)
Strontium Dog
28mm figures 225 points
28mm SF terrain 40 points
Total = 265 points (7.7%)
Medieval Asia
15mm Ming Chinese 124 points
15mm Mongols 445 points
Total = 569 points (16.6%)
Prohibition Era Pulp
28mm figures 170 points
28mm freighter 135 points
Total = 305 points (8.9%)
Fantasy
28mm Wolves 145 points
Total = 145 points (4.2%)
SciFi
15mm Kra'Vak 298 points
Total = 298 points (8.7%)
SYW Russians
15mm figures 256 points
Total = 256 points (7.5%)
Miscellaneous
28mm animals 4 points
28mm "survivors" 160 points
28mm gladiators 90 points
Total = 254 points (7.4%)
Well, it seems that in the rounding I've lost 0.1% somewhere!
I'm not too surprised that my WW2 projects made up nearly 40% of my total points, but was a little surprised about how much my 15mm Ming Chinese and Mongols made up.

- A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

AHPC9 - The Final RoundUp Part 1 - My Submissions
With 30 submissions by me this year, this will be quite a long and pic-heavy post.
Rather than going through them in the order they were submitted, I have sorted them into themes.
Let's start with World War Two as that was the biggest theme. There was a pretty good split between 15mm and 28mm for this period, with Soviets appearing in both scales.
15mm WW2 Soviets
The first entry for this was a single IS2 tank, part of my first Challenge submission this year:
Main #1:
*linky-link*
A bit later I had two submissions for the infantry and support weapons:
Main #17:
*linky-link*
Main #19:
*linky-link*
With all the T34s I had painted before the Challenge, these will allow me to field Russians for some games of "Big Chain of Command" - I have enough troops for two standard rifle platoons, a tank rider platoon, plus various support options. All I need to add are some engineers and maybe some light tanks.
All of these were from Plastic Soldier Company.
28mm Soviet women
I had two submissions for these, the figures are from Bad Squiddo Games
Main #2:
*linky-link*
Bonus #1 (Recon):
*linky-link*
28mm Early WW2 Australians
The biggest single theme within this theme was my Early WW2 Australian force, usable for North Africa and Middle East, but for my purposes they will be used for the Malaya and New Guinea campaigns. There were four entries here:
Main #5:
*linky-link*
This lot were a mix of Perry and Artizan metals.
Main #14:
*linky-link*
This M3 Stuart is a 1/56 scale resin model from Blitzkried Miniatures
Main #16:
*link-link*
These were Warlord plastic 8th Army, bought before they released the Commonwealth pack, so no slouch hats.
Main #21:
*linky-link*
These were Perry plastic 8th Army, with some figures getting Perry metal slouch hats. I also converted two to be Lewis gunners, with guns from Colonel Bill's.
28mm Waffen SS
The other WW2 entry was a squad of Waffen SS. They aren't intended for WW2 gaming (by me) but could be used for that. I actually bought them for a specific scenario/campaign for Strontium Dog games.
Main #13:
*linky-link*
The figures are Warlord metals.
And that leads onto one of my fun projects, Strontium Dog. I had two entries for this theme, the miniatures and some terrain.
28mm (actually 35mm?) Strontium Dog
Main #10:
*linky-link*
The shack, watch tower, wind turbine and solar panels come with the starter set; the two drink can pieces are from Warbases.
Main #12:
*linky-link*
The figures are metal from Warlord Games. For the painting of these I did try to emulate the comic book/graphic novel style as closely as possible.
Having jumped from the 20th to the 23rd century, let's hop back in time to medieval Asia.
15mm Ming Chinese
There were two entries to bulk out my reasonably large (but nowhere near the size of my Koreans) Ming Chinese army, providing them with gunpowder troops.
Main #7:
*linky-link*
Main #9:
*linky-link*
The arquebusiers and rocketeers are by Grumpy (via Eureka); the commanders are Old Glory 15s.
15mm Mongols
A few years ago I painted up a small force of Mongols to use as allied/mercenary support for my Koreans. When our club switched to ADLG for ancient/medieval games I realised that with a few additions I could field a Mongol army for those rules, and with a few more additions I could field a small army for FoGR. The army is now just too big for a foolscap box file!
I had two entries for these, one of cavalry, the other of foot:
Main # 8:
*linky-link*
Main #24:
*linky-link*
All of the figures are from Donnington Miniatures.
Skipping forward to the 20th century again, an ongoing fun side-project of mine has been prohibition era figures for my fictional city of Salutesville.
28mm Pulp
There were seven entries from me for this theme, mostly civilians, but with a few gangsters.
Main #4:
*linky-link*
Bonus #4 (Water Feature):
*linky-link*
Main #15:
*linky-link*
Main #18:
*linky-link*
Main #20:
*linky-link*
Main #22:
*linky-link*
Main #25:
*linky-link*
The ship was an MDF kits from TT Combat, the figures are a mix of Pulp Figures, Eureka and Dixon.
That's enough historical stuff for now, so let's take a trip into fantastical realms.
28mm Fenrisian Army
Main #3:
*linky-link*
These wolves are for a Dragon Rampant warband. The figures are a mix of Warbases, North Star, and Foundry; Fenrisulfr is from Bad Squiddo Games.
OK, time for some more SciFi I think.
15mm Kra'Vak
This force of aliens is fir use with the Gruntz 15mm rules.
Main #11:
*linky-link*
Main #23:
*linky-link*
These figures are all from Ground Zero Games.
Time to return to reality and history I think.
15mm Seven Years War Russians
Just the one entry this year for these, but it was a good sized one.
Main #6:
*linky-link*
That just leaves some miscellaneous entries to finish off this post with.
28mm Bunnies and Chickens, Main #1
*linky-link*
28mm Gladiators, Bonus #2 (Sport):
*linky-link*
28mm "Survivors"
Bonus #3 (Mercenaries):
*linky-link*
Bonus #5 (Fellowship):
*linky-link*
Hopefully this post will show why I will be taking a short break from painting to recover! I will be back tomorrow with Part 2 - The Stats.
