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 TomM: Tookish Hunters (49 pts)

And so we enter the Chambers of Challenge, a dungeon to be mapped in this 11th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.

To start our decent towards the Altar of the Snow Lord, the first room to be conquered is the Hall of Traps.

As stated in the description of the room, this entry should contain an ambush or trap like theme, so I opted for a group of Tookish Hunters. An upgrade from your regular Hobbit archer, they are masters of waylaying and setting of traps, so fitted the theme nicely.

I also printed up some pit traps as such to accompany them, to represent in the game the locations of where they want to make the life of the Ruffians that invaded the Shire harder.

As a result, this first chamber has 5 infantry figures of scale 28mm, and 4 traps which I`ll count as a single point each? Together with the location bonus, that as much grants 49 points towards the tally for this year.
