From ArthurS and SanderS: The Challenge Wrap-Up!

 Hoi,

Dear Challengers, that was humongous fun thanks for that! Both Arthur and me had a great time viewing all the excellent admissions and reading all the posts and comments to our own posts. Sadly it's all over for now, even though there's now a Vac Challenge for those of us showing withdrawal sympthoms.

As always, the "wrap-up post" is where we thank everyone who made this Challenge possible; all the old and new Challengers, the redoubtable Minions, Dear Lady Sarah who puts up with all of us claiming her husband as self-appointed deity of Snow and Sillyness and of course Master Campbell himself, thank you all!

Special mention should go to those not attending this year, they are all sorely missed. I personally miss MichaelA, Iannick, Fran and AnneO a lot but I am sure we will be seeing them again in the future.

If I have counted correctly, I am taking part in the Challenge since 2014, making this my 8th event and Arthur's 4th one. As each year, when making the pictures I always forget to put some in. This time we asked my wife to make the picture below.

Afterwards I noticed my Deathwing terminators were missing so I made this picture.

 

Only to discover upon clearing away some of the figures that I had omitted to include the Heroquest Golems and magical creatures...DOH! 

 I will try to keep painting and posting stuff in the Vac Challenge so perhaps I will see you there. Take care, stay healthy and till next year!


Cheers Sander and Arthur

  2. A lovely collection of minis. I particularly like the old Heroquest stuff, that really hits the nostalgia spot.

    1. Thanks Stuart, more nostalgia will surely hit the VC and perhaps even the next Challenge!

    1. Yeah I know right?! He's really into it so now I can never decide not to enter the Challenge because he still will want to join anyway!

  4. Fantastic work you two. I loved all of Arthur's work, the Heroquest figures and the excellent terrain bits. I hope to see you both in the coming AHPC, but until then we have the VC.

  6. I really enjoyed seeing all the Heroquest figs - very nostalgic - but it's lovely to see all your posts - especially Arthur's! Looking forward to seeing more next time round.
