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 RodF: Fantasy Figures, Big and Small (47 points)

Several months ago I started a Dwarf force for the game Warband. I was trying to finish up my army just before the challenge started but my job interfered and then it was the holidays. So finally this week I wrapped up my last stand of Dwarf Warriors. At 10mm, they may be smaller than most Dwarven armies folks are used to playing games with, but I assure you that even though they may be smaller they still smell equally as bad of 28mm Dwarfs and continue to have the same Blood Alcohol Content.

Figures from Pendraken Miniatures.

I bought a separate pack of Pipers so each warrior stand could have one.

This is my second attempt at getting into 10mm, and I have to say that I've really enjoyed it this time around. I love the look of massed troops on large bases. I think I may be sold on this scale for big battles now. As such, I went ahead and got a second army... Undead! The first batch of troops are some Skeletal Cavalry. These are also from Pendraken Miniatures.

More Undead are coming soon!

(Just when you thought I was done with Frogs!)

Bart Rallop, Royal Wizard and Keeper of the Generally Eternal Flame

Bart has served as the royal wizard and adviser to King Tribbit for as long as any frog in Cool Dip Swamp can remember. Not only is he the leading authority in flora and fauna of the swamp, but he has a vast library of spells at his disposal. Among his duties is keeping the Generally*Eternal Flame lit and available to all to see. It is the beacon of enlightenment to the frogs of Cool Dip Swamp, proving to all they are more than just mere amphibians, but grasped the use of tools and fire.

* - Note: "Generally" is given here with the knowledge that all swamp creatures realize fires tend to fall to accidental extenquishment in areas with large bodies of water.

The frog wizard is from Dark Sword Miniatures.

18 - 10mm Dwarves
12 - 10mm Undead Cavalry

MilesR: Rod these nicely painted figures will net you a tidy 47 points. I really hope you're not done with Frogs as I always like to see them.
