Fantasy Hero 22

Recently shown in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XII, these Undead archers from Oathmark ate far from heroes.

Raised from the grave by fell necromancy to fight again against the living.

The figures are from the Oathmark range and build and paint very well. The rules suggest a 25mm square base however, this just didn't suit my own personal taste.

 In game terms its aesthetics only as it's easy to convert over to 20mm square very quickly. The bases did need a little trim around the edges to fit though!

 There will be some more finished and work in progress pics over the next few days. 

Stay safe 

Fantasy Hero 21

Part of the first entry to this years AHPC XII were some retro skeletons from Citadel and possibly Marauder - armoured axe armed skeleton second from the right.

The intention with these was to capture the detailing on the skeleton with as little work as possible. So, out with the rattlecan of Skeleton Bone from Army painter, contrast paint Skeleton Horde and Vallejo Ivory with a dry brush. 

Spray, touch up with the same colour then wash with contrast paint. Finally dry brush with mixes of Skeleton Bone and Ivory. Quick, easy and effective. 

There are another two from this grouping to be completed and then on to the next period for a while. Not going to get stuck in a rut this time by painting too many different things at once - just two or three 😀

 

Cheers for now

The AHPC XII is now in full swing and the entries are being posted by various challengers. Have started a few threads for this now. The pic below shows the variety in periods that are being worked on just now. 

Clockwise from the top left corner:

• Carthaginians in 28mm for SAGA
• Crusaders in 15mm for ADLG
• Hoplites in 15mm for DBA
• Sargonid Assyrians in 15mm for DBA
• Figures started before the AHPC began earlier this week
• Skeletons in 28mm for Fantasy skirmish
• Early Imperial Romans in 15mm for ADLG
• Fallschirmjager in 28mm for Chain of Command

A lot of there to keep the painting mojo going and some are parts of previously started projects whilst others are starting afresh for this challenge. 

More detail to follow shortly. 

Stay safe and cheers for now

 

Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XII - and away they go

It has begun and the paint must flow and may your brush never splay. 

Back to the Brushes 332

Will be starting another 30 Day Painting Challenge this evening although there will be a slight difference in this months Challenge: 

The difference being that the AHPC XII starts on the 21st December and from then on it's only miniatures that are prepped only - none already started. 

Prepping has been started and to be honest there is always enough on the sidelines to be starting with. First up will be some 15mm and 28mm being

• Sargonid Assyrians for DBA
• Carthaginians for SAGA
• Wood Elf Regiment of Renown for Oathmark
• Skeleton Warriors for Oathmark
• With various units to follow that will continue on with started projects from the last couple of years. 

As always for the 30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge there is no theme to this, just to paint and complete 30 miniatures regardless of their starting condition or size. 

The outline of the challenge is detailed below, however the main point being to have fun with your hobby.

• To paint 30 (As Many as You Can month) figures of all shapes and sizes in 30 days
• The figures can be partly painted at the start as the main point is to complete figures that have been forgotten
• Basing is not necessary to count as completed
• Any scale is good
• Too have fun
• The end date is set by your start date - 21st December will be the end date of this challenge
• To post updates as often as possible
• Lastly to show a roundup post with a group picture of everything.

The Round up post for November 2021 will follow tomorrow or the day after. 

Hope that you will find this interesting.

Cheers for now
