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 BrendonW - Dark Age Dudes on Horse and on Foot (53 points)

This instalment contains 4 x Conquest Games Norman Knights and 2 x Gripping Beast Anglo-Saxons. 28mm and all Plastic. I am very pleased to have these added to my collection.

All shields and the banner are hand painted. One of the Anglo Saxons has parts from FireForge (arms) and the helmet-less head is from Gripping Beast Dark Age Warriors set. Dang fool came to the party without his party hat. Maybe he lost his party hat at a previous party. With the spears in the grounded up right position I see these two as 2nd or 3rd row guys...either that or they are having a rest before the scrum of shield wall fighting begins.

Cheers from the Top End of Australia.

Alan and Paul: Great stuff Brendon. I have painted a load of these figures, and looking at these makes me want to paint more. I salute your hand painted shields and banner, and reward them with a bonus couple of points.
