Bot War Painting Challenge 2021 - Atlanticans Rising

Welcome to the start of my 2021 Bot War painting challenge project blog.

This is a painting challenge for the Bot War tabletop miniatures game by Traders Galaxy

As with last year’s project this challenge is being run over on the Bot War Miniatures Game Facebook group by Anthony and his mod team (shout to Aidan for all the bookkeeping!) as a way to get the community together and help promote the game in the run up to the release of the new Bot War 2 Turbo Edition starter set (which looks fantastic).

This year its a little different as its only running for 20 days instead of 30 but this makes sure it is nicely timed to end with the preorder for the new edition and also some lucky folks will be receiving their preorder copies of the recent Trashers faction, me being in the UK though I sadly won’t get mine in time, but they will be a fun reward to receive at the end of this.

With the forthcoming release of the new starter set, I figured it was about time I tackled some of the my unpainted factions from the 2nd edition starter set, The Atlanticans.

This also presents for me a great opportunity to also face a hobby nemesis – painting yellow!

The target for the challenge is to complete a minimum of 5 models, and as there are 6 Atlanticans in the starter set I knew I would safely achieve that, but to push it a bit more I decided to grab a few extra bots from my backlog and a UK stockist to make sure I had enough for a decent force to take to the table.

And, just like with painting challenge 2020 I just had to include one of the Bot War combiners as a centrepiece and capstone for the project, Leviathan!

PLEASE NOTE

I am in no way sponsored or affiliated with Bot War or Traders Galaxy, I am just a fan of the game, the miniatures, and universe Anthony has created, its the miniatures range I have always wanted so I’m happy to share my enjoyment of them where I can and hopefully see this game grow and grow.
