Here is my first entry of the Analogue Hobbies Annual Painting Challenge V or "AHPCV" as the "cool kids" refer to it.
A unit of US mobile artillery from the new game system All Quiet on the Martian Front. The miniatures are 18mm scale and are plastic and metal.
Just like in the H.G Well's original "War of the Worlds", heavy artillery can be effective in taking out a Martian tripod and this unit has managed to take down 2 of the those three-legged menaces. Each vehicle has two crew members and some extra ammo for the storage racks.
The AQMF stuff is really easy to paint and the game is a lot of fun. In terms of scoring, there really isn't a point scale for 18mm so I'll use the scores for 15's. So lets see here... 3 times that number and six times the other one gives me a total score of 10,000 points - I WIN!!!!!!!!!!
... wait a minute, I forgot to carry the two - let's see umm that's um 18 points for the vehicles and 12 points for the crew so a total of 30 points for my first entry.
I do need to point out that my first submission wasn't in the grand spreadsheet until week 12 - I've never been all that keen on the whole rules following thing.
Nice work Miles!
ReplyDeleteThat's far too quick off the mark Miles! Very nice artillery :)
ReplyDeleteRules are made to be broken....good start.
ReplyDeleteSome good looking kit there. Kill the Martians!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Nice to see someone enjoying their AQoTMF :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Quick out the gate. They look excellent.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Now that's fast. Very nice stuff!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! And a grand spreadsheet, eh? Obviously, some folks are much more organized about this than I am.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir!
ReplyDeleteNow, I saw that spreadsheet and was so impressed by it and here you are violating your rules right off the bat :)
Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHow are you guys so fast!
ReplyDeleteEasy: No kids. No workday. No sleep.
ReplyDelete(Yawn...) :)
Very nice work, Miles. Great painting work!
ReplyDeleteNo kids... no workday... no sleep... This weekend I´m going to enclose myself in my unit´s barracks!
Your maths is making me think our side challenge may be a bit skewed mate. I'm not giving up that easily though, despite you drawing first blood!
ReplyDeleteNice first entry, looking forward to seeing more of this project and it's a very nice start

Really nice stuff Miles - this might sound odd but I really like the track work. Mind you, surely there is some drug-testing protocol for such fast work?
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the challenge! Those Martian Front minis really look a treat
ReplyDeletevery carefully. but I think you could add a little dirt on the tracks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments - I will add a bit of mud but I tend to do that in large batches.
ReplyDeleteVery cool - I almost thought those were historical by the period colors and markings.
ReplyDeleteI loves them! Wonderful work Sir.
ReplyDeleteWell done Milesy, a great way to kick off the Challenge - some great looking guns to keep the Martian bugs at bay. Take a tripod down for me!
ReplyDeleteCleanly and smoothly painted on some very interesting models.
ReplyDeleteInteresting models indeed! My first thought was also are these historical! But that was before reading the text! Great work Miles!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
