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. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From PaulSS: [The Pit of the Pendulum] Stocks (22pts)

The Pit of the Pendulum: Paint something torturous, terrifying - or just something with a slowly descending pendulum-blade… swoosh…swoooooshhhh….. arrrghhhh!!

I was at a loss as how to fulfil this location with something suitably Napoleonic (no matter how tenous) and drew a blank, fortunately a trip to my local game store turned up a cornucopia of torture implements that may fit the bill.

These are a pair of stocks from the Wizkids Deep Cuts range.

Stocks may have mainly fell out of use by the Napoleonic times, but there is a record of their use in the UK as late as 1872, so they may feature in some of our games.
