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 Barks: 40k Assassins (10 Points)

After several years, I have shorn this albatross from my neck. I got these assassins second hand, assembled and basecoated. I very carefully removed the mouldlines and pointedly put off painting them. I did the Vindicare in 2018, and the Callidus earlier this challenge. I have now finished the Culexus and the Eversor.

The Culexus is a psychic assassin, using your dreams to murder you. He's got Psyk-Out grenades, and insane neck muscles from holding up his not-at-all-Gigeresque hat.

Culexus Assassin

The Eversor is a straight-up psychopathic murder machine pumped to the eyeballs with combat drugs. I'm not a huge fan of the funky scenic base, but it looks OK on display.

As a bonus, I dug up my 1997 Eversor, and I think my paintjob still holds up. I really like the old model. Skull-ception on the head!

And for those not down with 40K- these are the good guys.

2x 28mm figures 10 points.

Skull-o-meter™: 12

Cumulative Skullz: 49

Haha, very nice Barks! The "good guys" indeed. So nice to see the vision of the future for "combat drugs" is so positive, in tune with the uplifting vision of The Emperor...

Great job, another 10 points for you.
