Afternoon from a very warm summers day in Christchurch New Zealand
I think this is my 5th crack at the challenge, had a ball last year but
I thought need to dial it back a little this year and really enjoy the Challenge
I hope everyone has a great time and that we all get a good bunch of minis painted in the process, the funny thing is I thought after painting so many cavalry last challenge I might do something different but I did count over 50 cav that I started work on so maybe not.
Well first up I have a wee set of 4 English civil war minis from Bloody Miniatures
They really are a pleasure to paint and hopefully if I get back to them I’ll have a few more that cross my table.
We there we have the first entry
4 x 28mm Cavalry @10pts if I’m correct 40pts

First, welcome back to the Challenge Kent!
Beautiful brushwork for your opening gambit, wow! I've always liked your clear, clean style and these harseboys don't disappoint. They're all great minis, but I especially like that officer with the broad blue waist sash - really lovely stuff.
These lads will give you 40 points to start your climb up the points ladder. Well done Kent!
- Curt
Very nice and brigth, I like!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu, they are a fun paint
DeleteLovely opening entry. Nicely done Sir! 👏
ReplyDeleteCheers Big Lee, can't wait to see what you bring to the table this year
DeleteAlways liked the figures of this period, time I paint some myself. Wonderfull paintjob on these riders!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
I have lots of these just not sure I'll get to them this year
DeleteGreat painting - very characterful. I especially like the chap shooting his musket - pigeon shooting?
ReplyDeleteHey Jez thanks man, glad you like them
DeleteI do like Bloody Miniatures and your paint job really brings them alive - great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThey are going to send me some of their minis to paint, the latest set which i'm looking forward to doing
DeleteSome damn fine painting Kent. Those Bloody Miniatures are fab aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray good to see you back again what madness are you bringing I wonder.
DeleteNice job Kent. They do look like they are fun to paint
ReplyDeleteThey sure are Dave, they almost paint themselves
DeleteLovely work on these.
ReplyDeleteCheer Barks, I hope all is well with you my friend
DeleteVery nice work, mate! They definitely look the part
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they will be heading out the door in a few weeks to their new owner but they are fun to paint
DeleteThese look great, I like your brightish buff coats. And an Orange sash always does it for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emjenic, I enjoy the buff painting, been trying to get an orange finish that I'm happy with and I think i might have found it
DeleteVery nice indeed
ReplyDeleteCheers GH
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam
DeleteLovely work on some lovely figures. Like Curt, the bear headed general with the broad blue sash is my fave.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, Yip I have to agree he is probably my favorite as well.
DeleteThose came out really nice, bright colours and excellent paint work
ReplyDeleteCheers, can't help myself on the bright colours but I do like the end product.
DeleteThose are really nice Kent, looking forward to see what else is going to come off your table this year
ReplyDeleteCheers, next up is a pile of Goths, and probably some Russian naps.
DeleteOnly 46 more to go?! Great start Kent, looking forward to your Goths!
ReplyDeleteCheers Tom, I've hit the Goths hard and they are coming along nicely, of course I now have two days on no painting, how will i survive. maybe when I get home late on Christmas day I'll sneak in and paint a few horses.
DeleteAmazing figures and brush work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bruce very kind of you.
DeleteVery snazzy. The English Civil War and Thirty Years War have always been one of my favorite periods, and these figures clearly show why. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Robert, yes I always enjoy painting this period which is great because I have a good few of them to paint up this year.
DeleteLovely figures,lovely painting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Hey Iain cheers, I look forward to seeing what you bring to the challenge this year.
DeleteLovely figures, I have often been tempted to go back to ECW. You've done them proud!
ReplyDeleteI'll paint a few more up see If I can tempt you a little more
DeleteFabulous work Kent
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, have a great Christmas
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with Bloody Miniatures figures. Lovely painting.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours, they really pop
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work mate!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, Kent! I love spots of color and the buff coats. The ground work looks wonderfully green and muddy too!
ReplyDeleteLovely neat painting.
