Hi All,
Happy to make my first post this Monday 12 January and looking back my first ever post to the Challenge was on 12 January 2017 - at that time it was some 28mm Goth Archers. It seems a long time ago now. I think Curt "won" that Challenge year with his brilliant Battle of Pavia diorama.
Anyway my wargaming interests have pretty much remained the same. I like painting 28mm Ancient to Renaissance figures and mainly play games using Basic Impetus rules. I especially enjoy the speed of the rules, so a game is usually over in a couple of hours. Most recently I have really enjoyed using the new "scenario" options for the game set up's.
My first post is just a simple 20 points for 4 x Gripping Beast Dark Age figures. These are based individually so when I use them in Basic Impetus I fit them into sabot bases. These figures will boost up and be used when I am playing Picts or Welsh armies as Light Infantry with Long Spear. The pointing figure might also find his way into the back rank of a Heavy Infantry Romano British "Arthurian" army.
I am based in Kenilworth UK and these are Gripping Beast figures from just down the road in Evesham. They are great fun and easy to paint. I just use simple Games Workshop paints.
Thanks all and hopefully will be something different ready for next Monday.
Cheers Jez

Hi Jez - GregB here, acting as temporary Minion for Dallas while he enjoys a well-earned break in a place where the January weather is much more tolerable than the Canadian prairies :)
First off, welcome back once again to the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge! We are thrilled to have you with us.
I will always love me some Gripping Beast castings! So beefy and full of character. Some of the molds on their classic ranges are starting to show their age, but damn they still look great. As you say, great fun to paint! And you have done them fine service here.
That is 20 points to get you on the board.
GregB
