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 PaulSS: WWII Germans -- 63pts

Victoria and I have been away this week for a break in Cornwall, but, as usual I packed paints and brushes to take with us. Unfortunately, I forgot to pack the daylight lamp, but a swift order to Amazon rectified that issue.

Infantry section

I've not done as much painting as I would have hoped, but did manage to get a few more German infantry, command and support bases done for the ongoing O Group project.

Patrol marker

Pendraken do a very nice German sentry post, I'm not sure what usage it will see but I thought I'd paint one up for table dressing.

58 12mm infantry and a 5 point claim for the guard post, soldier and hound combined will add 63 points to my total taking me tantalizing near to my goal!

Squirrel Duel Tally: 4 (40K Kroot, Gaslands, WW2 US, WW2 German)

You are getting some lovely results on these 12mm figures Paul. I really like the basing, especially was your flocking blends in. nicely with your terrain mat. I really like that guard post, I am sure that you can find uses for that on table.

My group has experimented with O Group recently, and it looks like it's a no on our side. Unlike others in O(ur) Group I found the rules easy to read, learn and play, but they felt a bit antiseptic at times.
