Hello everyone!!!
Here is my first entry to this year´s Challenge, really fast painting for me! This is my first picture about The Challenge, yesterday in the morning, when I selected the first two models to paint (basically, because both of them were going to wear white trousers...):
As you can see, I have some figures waiting for their turn in the background.
Well, the first model is a 28mm Draugr from Red Box Games, a really nice miniature and a poor tortured soul. He is The Loser in this entry, of course:
The figures from Red Box Games are really wonderful, fantastic and full of (small) details. I expect to paint many more of them during The Challenge despite the fact they need a lot of time to being painted. I have used some drops of "Realistic Water" from Secret Weapon Scenics in the base.
My idea is to use these figures with "Frostgrave" or "Open Combat".
The Gambler is my other figure in this entry. He is a 28mm Perry Miniatures AWI Rebel Officer, wounded but ready to continue the game.
This is a lonely painting commission for a friend.
And this is my small first entry worth of 10 points, I think. Great and very busy first two days of The Challenge.
Cheers!
Ah, lovely to see you with us Juan and with two characterful miniatures. That first fellow looks like me Monday mornings when I head off to work... Seriously, great work on depicting the decrepit undead flesh tones, clothes and metalwork. I've been to the Red Box website many times admiring their miniatures but can never decide what to order as they are so many cool castings.
Very nice, Frostgrave is a great game and I am looking forward to getting my copy of Open Combat. Lots of Great detail on both figures AWI is near to my heart as a reenactor and that officer is very well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lot, Adam. I´m also awaiting my copy of "Open Combat".
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteExcellent work Juan :)
ReplyDeleteThank you a lot!
DeleteI really like the blood effects, not overdone but still punchy
ReplyDeleteIan
Thanks. I prefer to put only a bit; I think it´s better.
DeleteLovely work Juan, but such a shame they will be separated! An AWI/Zombie Apocalypse crossover game would certainly be entertaining... Adam, back me up here; could you and your fellow re-enactors work in some shambling?

Great idea. With those slow black powder weapons it could be a bit difficult for the Survivors...
DeleteThe Draugr is very nice but that wounded Perry office is the business. Well done indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michael.
DeleteGreat to see your wonderful brushwork so soon into the challenge Juan! Here's eagerly looking forward to more goodness from your table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend. I´m enjoying some free time in this moment so I can paint faster than usual (and I have a Side Challenge to win, too...).
DeleteNice work Juan.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lot, Fran!
DeleteGreat to see you out of the blocks early Juan, nice job
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave. It has been lucky to begin on Sunday... and without homeworks!
DeleteOh man, that draugr is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Poor creature...
DeleteGreat work Juan - welcome to the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteI've been eyeballing those Red Box Games figures. I really like the Norse type they've got. Lots of detail on them, you're right.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on these two Juan!
They are wonderful miniatures, Anne, really Fantastic.
DeleteThank you very much!
Nice painting. My fav is the forlorn looking character. A unique looking figure. cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think he is looking for a hero with a big axe...

ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I expect to paint interesting figures, then!!!
Deletenice work. officer look very expressive.
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit angry, I think.
DeleteGreat figures. I really like the Gambler. Frostgrave is a fun game and I am also looking forward to getting the new Open Combat.
ReplyDeleteThat is my objective for January, to have, at last, the rulebook.
DeleteThanks!
Great job, I do like the gambler, lovely colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lot. He is, of course, a gentleman!
DeleteWonderful looking work.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteWonderful - particularly that wounded officer. And Spain takes the lead...for now :-)
ReplyDeleteJa, ja, ja. I know, I know, this is only for now. England is preparing its incursion in the Spanish Main...
DeleteVery nice work, Juan! The AWI officer is particularly well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you a lot, David.
DeleteWow, very nice work on the AWI figure in particular.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
