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 JamesonP: And, he's off... finally (5 points)

Our 2016 addition to the family added to both the enjoyment and exhaustion of the holidays. After an equally exhausting week back at work, I've finally returned to my nightly painting habit.

I thought I was going to start with something from my historical backlog - French Regulars for the French and Indian War or American Airborne for WWII. However, a recent game of Cubicle 7's Adventures in Middle-earth has got me painting Dwarves. This figure is from the Games Workshop Dwarf Rangers box.

I call him Borri the whittler after an NPC from The Eaves of Mirkwood scenario for Adventures in Middle-earth. I have his friends Snorri the smith and Hár the stone mason on the bench. I'll post them in the next day or so.

Minion update: this one snuck out onto the blog before Friday, but glad you've joined us Jameson with this fine dwarf. I'm a bit worried he chose the wrong career path though, a-rangering with that fierce beard.
