The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge.

From FranL: 15mm Mercenary Brigade (340 points)

..........for all your countries/planets takeover or protection needs!

The infamous "Devils Rejects" mercenary brigade, used to be known as Posties Rejects but a rather nasty coup in 2092 resulted in a name change!

The vehicles are mainly Brigade Models with a Khurasan flyer, the figures are GZG (part of the old NAC range, a little dated but I liked the medics and casualty figures plus the vehicle riders and gunners!!!!!)

Rank and file........

Casualties and medics......

Heavy weapons.....

Special forces.......

My gunners for all the mini guns but they turned out to be giants and did not fit, the perils of using two different companies......

14 vehicles: 112pts

6 crew served weapons: 24pts

102 Figures (83 plus 9 riders, 7 gunners, 2 flyer door gunners and 1 tank commander): 204pts

Total: 340 points?

Merc's packing some big weaponry, what's not to like. Pity about the size difference between manufacturers but these days I guess its almost inevitable. Dreaded scale creep strikes again! Another big entry Fran, good to see you painting again. Better store all this lead in a solid building, we wouldn't want your van sinking into the mud-farm under the weight of all this lead!
