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.

Richard P - 28mm Gloranthan Agimori (60 Points)

Finally off and running! Took a while to get going but I've got lots of progress done over the last week and first up is the start of a project that I've been wanting to do after seeing some of the great Gloranthan themed games put on by Simon Miller and friends at Salute over 10 years ago now.

First up is a unit of Agimori Pikemen from the Plains of Prax. They are supposed to be 1.5 the size of men but as I had a load of left over 28mm plastic Zulu/Natal Native Contingent sprues left after another project that will be posted at a later date I though I would have a go at converting them into suitable looking Pikemen. Red is main theme as they are able to withstand extreme heat.

Figures are all 28mm Plastic Zulus/NNC from Perrys, Warlord and Wargames Factory with a few Victrix Numidians added. Mostly head swaps and different arms added to allow the pikes to be held at an appropriate angle.

The sight of any Zulu has me reaching for the Martini-Henry and ther's no mistake! Great crisp painting on these Ricard and the skin tones are excellent - nice job!
