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.

Bi-weekly Duels Update - Games Workshop Minis Duel - Update #5

As we approach the end of the challenge, it's time to see how things are going in the GW minis side duel. This will be the last update before the end of the challenge, so I expect that some of these totals will see some big changes over the next few weeks.

As some of the duelists haven't posted anything GW related recently, rather than name and shame them, I have simply left them out of the update. Don't worry, I am still keeping tabs on your scores and will be tallying all your points in the final reckoning after the challenge ends. I'm not sure if the lack of entries is a sign of the mid challenge doldrums or rampant sandbagging, but I hope that all of our competitors are doing well and painting away like maniacs for some epic final posts.

To recap the scores from the last update:

As of 15/02/21

Barks - 355

Codsticker - 55

DrQ - 375

GregB - 5

Paul O'G - 308

PaulS - 219

Reilly O'G - 503

StuartL - 806

TeemuL - 227

The new scores are as follows.

Barks - 410 Points

Barks has recently completed some awesome looking vehicles for his Genestealer Cult forces. Despite his claim that he doesn't enjoy painting vehicles, I think you'll agree that he did a great job.

DrQ - 450 Points

DrQ's Age of Sigmar and 40K forces have seen some recent additions, with Kharadron Dwarves and Ork Boyz gracing the challenge. Some cool little conversions on the Kharadrons have produced this fantastic looking unit of Dwarven ladies.

PaulS - 369 Points

PaulS has been working hard on his Necromunda collection. Since our last update he has knocked out two more gangs of underhive fighters, including these very imposing Enforcers.

StuartL - 1016 Points

StuartL has once again added a significant (and suspicious) number of points to his total. If you look closely at this group of skinks, does it look like he has simply painted two models and photoshopped them into a large unit?

TeemuL - 282 Points

TeemuL has been working on a lot of Dwarves for the Lord of the Rings. These colourful looking characters should brighten up even the darkest parts of Moria.

And that's it for this update. As usual, if you think that I have missed something, please comment below. I'll see you all on the far side of the finish line. Best of luck to everyone!
