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 JonathanO: Minions (30 points)

I had this post ready on Saturday, hoping to avoid being cut from the AHPC XIV roster. However, as my posting day is Tuesday I am too late. I have many figures in progress, but nothing posted yet.

These Minions are certainly not as friendly as the AHPC Minions. They are 28mm miniatures from Crooked Dice. They are intended for the 7TV game. They could also be used in many other games (Pulp Alley etc.), although they would probably arrive too late to influence the game!

6 x 28mm figures, but no points for showing up late!

At least I have recovered my painting momentum, so will continue with what is in progress on my painting table. I will still enjoy following how you all get on in the rest of the challenge.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Welcome, Jonathan! Well, you give a whole new meaning to the expression "a hair's breath", but as the Head Librarian personally drags you up when you are hanging by your fingernails, who is the Junior Assistant Librarian to argue? And most welcome you are too. If these minions are anything to go on, the future looks very promising. Some very fine painting here, I really love the bright blue and the simply but very effective basing. So, some very well-deserved first 30 points for you; but you'd better promise to be a good boy from now on!
