Painting Duel #0

The 1st Painting Duel, Me vs. Meninobesta.

This year me and my mate Meninobesta will try to get a painting duel thing going in the local (Portugal)
hobby forum.

The rules are simple - You challenge a fellow hobbyist to a duel and name the end-date for the challenge. The opponent names the "weapons" (theme, scale, number of miniatures) and the duel is up!

For this inaugural challenge we had about 4 days, with New Years Eve thrown in the middle of the period (for me this translated into a couple of painting sessions, with maybe some 2h for each). The theme was retro-fantasy duel with 2 miniatures, 28mm, with scenery. 1 photo only.


The voting is now up till the end of the week, winner gets bragging rights and can put a little notch on his paintbrush ;)

My entry was a couple of old Marauder miniatures. A MM65/1 - Reiksguard Knight 4 and a Liche from the MM51 Undead Character pack, both from about 1992/1993.

Meninobesta´s was an Otherworld Pig-faced Orc fresh from the Christmas lead loot and a good old Heroquest plastic Dwarf.

And now for the pics, that are a blatant illustration of another thing that needs improving this year - my photo skills, or lighting setup, or camera (or indeed all of these...):

Enough text - my entry:
