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 MikeA - First post - Cutting it close to the deadline! (26 Points)

My first entries in the painting challenge. I apologize in advance for the horrible quality of the pictures.

First up, Old Crow 15mm APC. I have a bunch of their stuff. Hopefully get it all finished during the challenge.

Next is a Daemonhost from Games Workshop. The newly released Imperial Agents codex has motivated me to finish off a bunch of older models.

Callidus Assassin from Games Workshop.

A pair of old Games Workshop Servitors.

So that is one 15mm vehicle and four 28mm infantry for 26 points. Not a great start, but a start.

Good afternoon Mike, really glad you could join us with your first entry. Cutting it close? Nah, you had a couple of days to spare! Are we on course for a full house before the cut, I wonder? These are some classic GW sculpts from the era when I played a lot of 40K. The Servitors look suitably dour for (mostly) mindless thralls, and Callidus assassin looks great, but is there a reason she's based differently to the others? And that Old Crow APC looks nice - what 15mm force will it be joining?

With your pictures, have you tried a plain backdrop - just a sheet of plain paper works fine, and light from a couple of sources? It would be great if you could get some close ups for future entries.
