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 Jez Todd: Week Four - Macedonians Part 3 - 95 points

Dear All

Hope everyone had a good week 4 of the Challenge. Posting the final part to complete my Basic Impetus Alexandrian Macedonians. As highlighted before figures are Wargames Foundry

First up is Alexander himself as a command base. Painting a tiger skin was a new first.

Next is the second Macedonian pike block - 13 figures plus a wounded character.

I also have a few markers for "disorder" status - in total this gives 2 cavalry for 20 points, 13 infantry for 65 points, and 4 wounded at half infantry points so 10 points, giving 95 overall.

Basic Impetus gives a fun game taking 2-3 hours and here is the completed army in the box! I did the Greek hoplites in an earlier challenge as part of the Persian army force, but they can be played as Macedonians including elite Hypaspists. Also got a side by side shot for the classic match up Persians v Macedonians. Cant wait for the first game!
