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 Barks: Monks making a pilgrimage to The Shrine (40 points)
These monks parading the cross are from Gripping Beast. They've got over a millennia of uses! I think that the firebrand preacher looks like Boris Johnson, no?
Great monks Barks. Too bad the bojo one didn’t join an order with a vow of silence.
ReplyDeleteOr celibacy...
DeleteBetter yet if his parents had tried that one
DeleteLol, it would be a better likeness if his hair stood out like straw.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some static grass?
DeleteNice work
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam!
DeleteGreat job on these, really like the colour of the robes.
ReplyDeleteMostly GW Wyldwood Contrast, with Army Painter Leather Brown highlights.
DeleteLove 'em! I think the one with the grey tonsure and his head bowed looks a lot like the great Derek Jacobi as Brother Cadfael!
ReplyDeleteHe's seen a lot in his long life!
DeleteGreat models full of character there Barks - as you say, very useful for many gaming genres!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul!
DeleteGreat looking collection of universal monks!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain, I like that adjective!
DeleteVery characterful concatenation of clerics!
ReplyDeleteA brash band of believers?
DeleteLove those models and yes, one is the direct ancestor of the UK prime minister for sure
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benito!
DeleteVery nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jamie!
DeleteCracking group of Monks, makes me want to slap on some burnt ashes and join the boys for a couple of verses of kumbaya 👍
ReplyDeleteRegards KenR
I thought that was Scouts?!
DeleteNice character to these monks Barks. I like the greying (well, greyed) chap, looking a bit down in the dumps.
ReplyDeleteThey're quite characterful figures, and the hair colour makes a difference. Paul Hicks sculpts.
DeleteI feel sorry for the guy lumbered with carrying that huge cross.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these religious fellows.
I think they'd be competing for the honour!
DeleteNice! That tonsured fellow doesn't look all that happy. Guess he's missing out on dinner
ReplyDeleteJust a chronic whinger.
DeleteGreat post ... maybe the BoJo look alike is carrying the Brexit agreement??
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
But has he read it?
DeleteCool looking monks Barks.
