From RossM -28mm SAGA: Age of Magic - 30 points

 A month in and here is the first post from my 11th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.

After a great start on the preparation front for this year's challenge the painting mojo left for a couple of weeks after the new year. Reason: too many too on the painting table:

• 28mm Skeletons for Age of Magic and Dragon Rampant
• 28mm Carthaginians for SAGA
• 28mm Fallschirmjager for Chain of Command
• 15mm Assyrians for DBA and ADLG
• 15mm Crusaders for DBA
• 15mm Early Imperial Romans for ADLG
• plus a few other odds and sods here and there

So, after some deliberation and a prompt from Curt, I made a conscious effort to put my mark on the Challenge roster before the end of this week. 

First up, there are four retro skeletons from Citadel and / or Marauder Miniatures. These have been painted to match in with a group previously painted in AHPC IX and were probably bought at the same time. 

The intention with these was to capture the detailing on the skeleton with as little work as possible. So, out with the rattlecan of Skeleton Bone from Army painter, contrast paint Skeleton Horde and Vallejo Ivory with a dry brush. 

Next a related pair of sheep from sources unknown. These will appear in future games of SAGA along with several other prize items of livestock still to be completed. 

Painted very quickly using block colours then washes and dry brushing; nothing fancy or time consuming and yet here we are at the last call for entries to remain in the challenge and they are part of my first post. 

In terms of points all six figures are 28mm in scale so this will be 30 points towards my total or 4 %. 

Looking forward to a very busy painting February to catch up and get some points marked on the roster!

Cheers for now.
