My take on this aspect of the table top gaming experience. Not an expert just one person trying to do what he can & trying to demonstrate that anyone can do it.

Top secret plans for Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XIII [AHPC XIII]

The bonus theme has been revealed for this years challenge and it is centered around a massive movie studio with smaller individual studios and Sarah's limo service. A limo ride will cost me one painted female figure and the limo will take me to any studio for which I have a pass. Each small studio grants  me 20 bonus points when I have completed the challenge associated with the studio. 

 


Now the map has not yet been coloured but when it is it will show blue and green studios. I will need to complete 4 green studio in order to get a blue pass so that I can enter the blue studios. Once 4 blue studios have been completed I will receive a red pass that grants me access to the big cheese who will then assign me a final challenge. 

So, what will I paint for this challenge? I have set a target of 3000 points which will be a challenge as I will miss at least 1 week due to a trip and I expect other interruptions since we are not in quarantine and therefore I suspect I will encounter social activities. 

Bonus round plans (in no order) and possible items to paint

  • Westerns                      Lots of these
  • Historical drama          Rome vs Germans
  • Fantasy                        Dragons
  • World cinema             
  • Casting couch              Pulp figures
  • Art house                   
  • Sword and sandal         Gladiators
  • High adventure             Far north adventurers           
  • 1980's                           UNIT, spies, Dr Who
  • Superhero                     Lots of those
  • Sci fi                             AQMF, 15mm Sci fi, aliens and marines
  • Black and white            Space marine bust
  • Books                            Frankenstein/Dracula  
  • Under construction       

As for the limo rides, well after painting 107 female figures last year I still have, maybe at least, double that left not painted, so that will not be a problem.

Just a rough outline for now, more clarity once the challenge starts!

    For World cinema, you might do something from Samurai films, Chinese or Korean historical series or ... Bollywood!

      You're very welcome! And Under construction would obviously be a construction site, whether a Gangs of Rome temple, a Roman or other road, a bridge, a wall, or even a section of a temporary siege structure or earthwork (if it is cut neatly, the "under construction" section could be replaced in a game with a "built" or "demolished" section...)

      The alphabet challenge would depend on what you end up doing by studio.
