Happy New Year again to all, especially as it’s time for the first Painting Challenge update of the year.

First up, we have Carole, with some very nicely painted High Elves from Northstar:

Next we have Dex, who is adding to his already impressive WW2 collection with some 15mm Partisans and a car park full of German armour:

Stumpy has been busy over Christmas: here are some Spanish Lancers and a single Brunswick Lancer needed to complete a unit:

Also busy over the festive period was Mervyn. Here are is superb Scots Greys in 28mm:

And then last, but by no means least, here are some Traitors Gate figures from Mr Burt:

So that’s the first update done for 2026: please visit the individual galleries via the NavBar above to see all the shots that people have sent in. There are all the historical galleries available as well, dating right back to 2014, although there are only a few people who have managed an entry every year.

If you’d like to take part in this year’s Challenge, details are also available in the NavBar, or click here.
