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 RayR - The Chamber of Challenge - The Armoury - Sipahi of the Porte 80pts

Its Chamber of Challenge time once again and I've just been dropped off at the Armoury by Sarah

the Sorceress.

The Armoury: Paint a figure, a vignette or unit which is armoured - plate, steel, iron, ceramic, chain-mail - the choice is yours.

This unit of 6 x Spahi of the Porte have jumped way ahead of the queue. These originally were going to be painted up right at the end of the Challenge if at all???

But....

I needed a figure or figures in armour for the Armoury and wanted to paint something up I'm actually going to use, rather than stick in a box, never to be seen again for a few years.

The figures are from Dixon Miniatures and match in height wise quite well with Warfare minis who will make up the majority of my Ottoman force.

For my force the Sipahis of the Porte will be an Elite unit using a D10, so even though they're small, they should throw a big punch.........Poles and Imperialists beware!!!

(BTW, I haven't any Poles or Imperialists, yet?)

60 pts for the Sipahi

20 pts Bonus for the Armoury
