From TomG - "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" Captain Picard - Modiphius - (Vulcan) - 25pts

Space, the final frontier, these are the voyages of my paint brushes. It's continuing mission: to explore strange new challenge planets, to seek out new life in my hobby and new painting experiences, to boldly go where no one has gone before! 

Hello all, I have returned for my 3rd challenge, and have been inspired by the challenge planets to kick things off with a Starfleet trip to Vulcan. Although not a pointy eared option, Picard always felt like the most logical of captains. 

This 28mm figure of Jean-Luc was a pre-release freebie from Modiphius that I received at the Warfare games show in Reading, WAY TOO LONG AGO, and he originally had a Captain Kirk companion, but he's nowhere to be seen... Sus! 

For the rest of the challenge I'll be trying to get as many 15mm ACW models done, whilst also smashing my way through the planets at warp 9. 

I don't have a great deal more to say really. I'm excited to be back, and can't wait to get some painting done after having nearly completely walked away from the hobby this year.

So points - 
28mm single infantry = 5pts
Vulcan Challenge Planet = 20pts
Total = 25pts

Be well all, have a great first week and until then; engage!

Oh, that's a very nice mini of Picard (one of the best Starfleet captains) and you've done a cracking job on him, Tom! The red is excellent and you've done a brilliant job on the blacks as well. Top marks!

PS: Remember to put in the Notes metada, if you can. Otherwise, I'll have to send Tamsin after you. :)

Welcome back to the Challenge, Tom. I look forward to seeing your upcoming ACW offerings soon!

  8. I’m not very familiar with the Star Trek genre. However, Captain Picard is an icon and you’ve done a great job bringing him to life!

  9. Great job with the shading Tom. The red and black on Picard look grand. As for Captain Kirk, you should probably look in the lead pile where the alien girls are...just a suggestion. ;)
