Beginning on February 9, 2014 members of this challenge will be tasked with painting a specific Force Organization Chart selection of a Warhammer army, of their choice, within a set time frame.
Our members will have the option of picking and choosing their units to paint. Point values are not taken into consideration.
Points will be earned by participants for taking part in this challenge. 2 points will be earned for completing the challenge on time. 1 point will be earned for completing the challenge outside of the time given for completion.
Completion of a goal will include fully painted and based models.
Participants are urged, but not required, to paint towards a completely painted army of 2,000 points.
Participants are required to post pictures into a participant specific gallery showing work and completion of units. (We want you to show off your work!)
Participants are encouraged to meet with other participants and play games with their newly painted armies. Pictures and battle reports would be greatly recommended, encouraged and appreciated!
This challenge is open to any and all who are willing to take the challenge and post their works!
We would like to ask all members to please keep this group's focus based purely on the painting and modelling aspects of the hobby. We all appreciate constructive criticism, however, bad manners and rudeness will result in banning from this group.
I don't know about anyone else, but I have a hard time starting on painting. Heavy Metal syndrome, fear of failure, pure laziness, life commitments, don't know where to begin..... All of these reasons and more. But, when I get with a group of like minded people and can set stucture and organization to a project, I usually have an easier time of the task. It also gives us deadlines to work against and incentives to work towards. It may just be a point system, but it helps!

| Started....... yet still waiting to be finished. |
I'm excited to be doing this and have been getting my area ready for all the work that I will be doing. Cleaning all my paint trays and making sure my pots of paint haven't all gone bad. It has been awhile since I last painted.....
To begin with, our first task will be a troops choice. Since we are working towards getting armies painted, our first three tasks will be to finish two troops and an HQ. We will be working with a two week deadline on most all of our tasks. Should be plenty of time to finish each one!

| Another as yet unfinished..... started 2 years ago.... hope 2 weeks will give me drive! |
My List in which I am working towards;
Praetor, 2x 10 man tactical squads, 10 man breacher squad, 7 man tactical support, mortis contemptor dreadnaught, caestus, 6 man firedrake squad and a predator infernus with magna melta!
1, 997 points with 5 scoring units!
 |
| Praetor: Cataphractii suit, Volkite Charger, MC Paragon Blade, Grenade Harness, Digital-lasers,Mantle of the Elder Drake |
 |
| First Tactical Squad: Bolters, CCWs, Bolt Pistols, Vexilla, Veteran Sergeant has artificer armor and MC Combi-Flamer |
 |
| Second Tactical Squad: Bolters, CCWs & Bolt pistols |
 |
| 6 Man Firedrake Unit: 3 Thunder hammers and Dragonscale stormshields, heavy flamer, combi-melta, 2 powerfists, MC Power sword and combi-bolter |
 |
| Mortis Pattern Contemptor Dreaadnaught: 2 twin-linked autocannons, havoc launcher, extra armor |
 |
| Caestus Assault Ram: Frag launchers and auxillary drive |
Not the greatest, or most competitive list by far, but it's only nine units and a big chunk of my collection (currently!) At two weeks per unit, that would be eighteen weeks of work, if kept to the schedule. So that means that if I begin on February ninth, I should have this all finished by June Fourteenth! Or at least that's the plan..... Luckily I amoff on the Ninth and have no excuse at all not to at least start painting that first unit of marines!
