Well that is the end of this years Analogue Hobbies Annual Paint Challenge. It was a very productive time overall. I have completed a real mountain of work over the 3 months. I even managed to top the points table. The simplicity of the volume of Beja that was completed really adding to the point total. I also really enjoyed the laughs and banter along the way, a few side challenges with Millsy really helped keep us both chained to the paint desk I think.
Discussions have been had with Mark at the Wargames Holiday a Centre with regard to staging a large Sudan game later in the year , so watch out for the announcement.
So here are a few round up shots.
The Imperial forces , almost all of these were done this painting season.
A further top up for the Mahdist forces, with over 300 figures added, so a third of these were added
And to provide a little variety and extra colour some more for the gangster collections.
The bulk of the remaining figures for the Sudan are on order or have been delivered.
Work has commenced on the paddle steamers..
Arrangements are sorted for a day out a Salute, and I am looking forward to catching with fellow bloggers.
Fabulous array of troops - both Imperial and Mahdists. The paddle-wheel ship looks very cool too. Congrats on the Challenge.

DeleteYou definitely went great guns a'blazing this year Dave. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to work out for next year how I can reach the stratospheric heights that you pulled off this year. Maybe a horde of 28mm Nubians? Does anyone do them in plastic? ;)
Thanks Tamsin. It is definitely a way to do it. Simple figured , simple paint job. I won't be going for a large number next year as I don't have a big project in mind post Sudan
DeleteThat is simple superb Dave!
