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.

BruceR Level 2 the "Hatchery" (27 pts)

On to the next level in the Chambers of Challenges. Hmm, looking for some monster or egg released dragon and coming up with nothing from the lead pile. I spot an old Games Workshop familiar and it hit me "Alien". So break out the milliput and the texture stamp for another base. Instead of an egg the "it" has to come from a body and I'm not a big gore person so what next. The Bob Murch Movember collection is staring at me so introducing Lord Lippenbrush from the collection. and....

While the intrepet adventurers delve deeper into the chambers one of the members, Rashid, falls ill, after some rest and water all seems well. All of a sudden Rashid collapses and eeck this litte creature of bone and fangs erupts from his chest and takes his head off, while scurring into the shadows. "Bloody Hell" Lord Lippenbrush draws his revolver to put paid to this little scurge lurking in the shadows.

Wanting to use Lord Lippenbrush in other games his base is given my standard basing. The creature is coated in minwax for a slime effect and the base again is my Flagstone from Happy Seppuku Stamp. The head is from Wargames Atlantic Afghan Warriors. (maybe I should be in the squirrel challenge) :)

Here is Lord Lippenbrush on his own.
