Where did the time go? I knew this Challenge was going to be a struggle, but my aspirations still exceeded my grasp. I have plans for the upcoming year, inspired by Planetfall and Traitor's Toll, and the Challenge gave me opportunities to make a dent in the piles of potential. I was glad to see the return of terrain and scenery, but that is not points-efficient at all! I was particularly happy to get the Robin Hood figures done, and for them to gain recognition at the Theme round. I was also pleased to be able to host the Skull Duel again, which had a particularly exciting finish. I'm sitting pretty on 238 skullz.
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 every possible demographic, 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.
