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 TashaH: Aliens! [LV426] (42 points)

LV426 is a skeery place. I do not like it here!

These figures are from WizKids. I bought them solely for this planet, because they represent to me exactly what creepy aliens should look like!

I used Skeleton Horde, Plaguebearer Flesh and Terradon Turquoise Contrast paints. I finished off with a light swipe of Nuln Oil and there you have it!

The points:

35 mm figure - 6 points

26 mm figure - 4 points

Planet bonus - 20 points

All in … 30 points!

Now, let’s get the heck out of here! Into the maelstrom, hoping to get tossed to the outer ring and wheee!!!

To those who were questioning my benevolence in sending you through the maelstrom to LV426, perhaps this post could indicate potential collusion, although I couldn't possibly comment!

Those aliens are definitely creepy, Tasha! I'm scoring them as 1 x 25/28mm and 1 x 40mm, so that's 2 extra points.

You want to get tossed back into the Outer Ring? Anyone suspicious might be tempted to think that you are trying to avoid the, errmm, challenge of Challenge XII...I think I'll dump you out at Skaro!

Edit: score adjusted - I'd forgotten that it was 30 points for the planet you get dumped out of the Malestrom onto!
