The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

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 StephenS - Rebel Saboteurs (10 points)

Two more models (and the last ones) for my Imperial Assault board game.

These guys are Rebel Saboteurs in the Star Wars universe, though I'm not sure how successfully bright turquoise aliens would be at sneaking around facilities belonging to the famously xenophobic Imperials...

I was originally just going to paint them up as a bright blue, but have copped a bit of good natured schtick from some of the playing group over my interpretation of the canon with some of my other colour schemes. So, I went out and bought a pot of the right coloured paint - I am a true believer!

All up that is a whopping 10 points!

Cheers,
Steve

I find it highly amusing that even in the Star Wars hobby community there are button counting uniform geeks, ready to call people out for having the wrong shade of brown on a bantha harness. Perhaps I should not be so surprised by that. Accurate or not colour-wise, you've done a wonderful job Steve and can add 10 points to your tally along with the warm glow of having finished a project. Nice one! Cheers, Millsy
