From GavinB: A Mixed Bag of Goodies For My Final Submission of the AHPC 15... (40 Points)

 This has been a really fun 1st painting challenge for me, and Greg, you have been an excellent minion, and always have such kind, thoughtful things to say about the miniatures that I've painted, thank you. It has been a real pleasure to participate here and show fellow miniature painters my okay paint jobs! As mentioned in the title, I painted like, 4 different genres of miniatures for this post!

First we have an extra unit of perry archers to add to my Salisbury retinue, There is not a whole lot of things to say about these little fellows besides the fact that they were a blast to paint, because in my opinion painting infantry in the wars of the roses is very fun, though many would disagree.

I attempted a new method to painting faces, I'm fairly happy with it!

Next On the list we have The knight class from the board game adaptation of the videogame Dark Souls, now, there are three kinds of people, the ones who absolutely love the Dark Souls games, the ones who hate the Dark Souls games, and the people who have no idea what Dark Souls even is! I am really proud of how this knight turned out, I tried a lot of wet blending techniques going from dark up to light shades of metal on all of his armor bits!

Another Knight! I was cleaning up my hobby desk one day when I found this little metal 28mm crusader looking miniature that I had bought a while back and decided to paint him up! I did not paint him to look like one in particular, I just had some fun painting random colours on, I guess he could be a fantasy fellow for D&D or Rangers of Shadow Deep.

And lastly we have Lee from The Walking Dead All Out War Collector's Edition, and probably the best character from all of the walking dead, followed closely by Clementine of course!

And that is everything for my final submission of the year! But looking back at previous challenges It seemed like people all made a wrap-up post showing everything they painted during the challenge after It was over, but I am really not too sure how it all works, so... maybe Ill see you all again one more time before next winter! 

POINTS TOTAL:

8 28mm foot figures for 40 points!

Happy Painting!!

Hi Gavin - glad I could minion your last entry of your first challenge. Congratulations on getting to the end - many challengers don't make it on their first try!

As a WotR aficionado myself (and there are many others here) I appreciate. One can see your love for the period in that you strung their bows - impressive!!! And yes your new face technique looks good. Amazing what a few cheek, nose and chin highlights will bring out on these lovely sculpts.

I like your other models too, and the Templar Knight looked familiar. I went back through my files and found that I painted the same one back in 2019! Your splashes of colour really bring him to life - may he fight valorously for you on the tabletop!

40points well earned and congrats again on completing your first challenge! :-)
