We Have Launch! The 2nd Annual Analogue Hobbies Winter Painting Challenge Has Begun


Well, we're off! Its now just after midnight on the 20th and I'm officially starting work on my first entry for 'The Challenge' and I know that all around the globe there are painters doing the same. Now, how wonderfully dorky is that!? I think its great.

This winter we have 24 painters representing 11 countries so the blog should have something new to show you every few days, if not more. 

I'm not sure what's on the roster for many of the guys but I'll be working on an Anlgo-Danish warlord command stand for SAGA. Depending on available time (and how much sleep I wish to deprive myself) I hope to get that done in the next day or so.

Ok guys, lets get the lead out!

  10. Good luck to all of you, even Fran and Ray!

    I've started on a few new leaders for my Viking and Saxon war bands plus the Viking promised to El Supremo of Analogia,

    Next up a whole bunch of War of 1812 US and British figures and maybe a few Langton sailing ships just to cause havoc with the scoring!

    Happy holidays

  11. Good luck to you all! I will start to paint up some 20mm 88'ss, pak36's and a sole pak40 with their crews of course! With a bit of luck, the pak40 and crew maybe finished tonight!

    I've also recently bought some bolt action partisans which will be used for VBCW so they will probably show up somewhere along the way! Not mentioning the rest.

    Happy holdidays and christmas!

  12. Good luck to all of you. It looks as SAGA is the first option for many of us. I have had half of my Anglo-Danish band waiting for the begining of The Challenge but I´m going to begin with a very special Indian...

    Best Regards.
