Last work in progress picture from 2023 and regrettably there isn't a finished piece to do another post with.

Perry's: Wars of the Roses Warwick the Kingmaker

In the background, there is one of four figures being painted as Northern Borders Scurrours in 15mm. The figures are from Museum Miniatures.

Unknown foot knight.

The foot knight has been spray undercoated with Army Painter Gun Metal then washed in Nuln Oil. 

Cheers for now

No plan survives first contact and prepping for the AHPC IV is no different. 

The foot knights below were painted in a previous challenge and are being repurposed in this year's AHPC. This time the focus will be on creating a Lancastrian force for ADLG in 28mm.

The pile of shame, that way lies.

The next two pics shows a slow start on more foot knights and the first retinue bowmen; all from Perry Miniatures plastic sets. 

Don't tell them but the next lot include the Yorkist Lords

The foot knights and Lords below were prepped previously and have in a drawer, waiting...

We've been waiting for this for a while

The AHPC IV starts on the 21st, so there will be more posts sooner rather than later. 

Cheers for now

Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XIV

 

Winter is here and the prep for this year's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge has started. Having joined the lists again I am needing to find 500 points of 10, 15 and 28mm miniatures to paint between the above dates. 

Decisions are not always the easiest of things to make and can often change how the challenge runs. The initial running list includes: 

• 10mm DAK for O Group
• 15mm Assyrians for ADLG
• 15mm Mongols for ADLG
• 15mm Late Romans for ADLG
• 28mm Romano Brits for SAGA
• 28mm Moors and Arabs for SAGA and ADLG
• 28mm Late Crusaders for SAGA
• 28mm Late Romans for ADLG
• 28mm Christian Spanish for ADLG

There are more options, however, I'm looking to finalise a set list and point values from the above with a schedule to ensure that there is time to complete sections across the Challenge and to keep things interesting throughout.

Cheers for now

Some armies are never truly finished for some people and the Late Roman army would be in that category here. 

I will be participating in a day's gaming with ADLG at the weekend and found that the list created has one more unit of Heavy Cavalry than is painted.

A quick trip to the pile of shame provided enough figures for this unit and many more than would be needed under these rules.

The three horses above are from Footsore Miniatures  Late Roman range and are painting up well; despite the hobby lamps best efforts to prevent this. The charging point has gone on it. 

More to follow on these figures across the week as they need to be finished for this Sunday coming.

Cheers for now
