AHPC IX




It's that time of year once again, when 84 Bloggers and painters slug it out in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.  This year is the 9th and I'm looking forward to it as much as I did the previous 7 I've entered.

I'm very pleased to see a few pals who've missed the last few Challenges, including my old dueling pardner Fran 

I've entered a Renaissance Paint Duel and challenged all the Rejects and all the bloggers who've visited Reject HQ, Curt, Miles, Tamsin and Christopher S to a duel. I hope they all enter? Miles or Tamsin will win but hey ho!

This years Bonus rounds are pretty challenging themselves once again.

Reconnaissance - Sat 5th Jan
Sport - Sat 19th Jan
Mercenary - Sat 5th Feb
Water feature - Sat 16th Feb
Fellowship - Sat 2nd March

I think I've got 3 covered without too much of a problem and I'm sure I've a few LotR figures laying around somewhere?? But Sport? Sport? I think this'll have to something a tad cryptic.

Anyway. I've been busy finishing off a few bits that are clogging up my painting table, while trying to undercoat as much as I can, ready for the onslaught on the 21st December!

Good luck to one and all.........apart from Fran of course!

  2. Awesome! I dig seeing what everyone paints. Sport could be archery.

  4. Hmmm I have been thinking of doing some Renaissance, but I'm worthless at winning duels as I tend to paint glacially plus I'm not sure if I want to do it in 15mm or 28mm.

  6. Preparation hasn't exactly been running at a fever pitch down my way. No duels for me, I'm afraid!
