A challenge is a foot!
Background:
The most productive painting I have ever accomplished was the spring of 2005. Polished off a Griffon Confrontation Army and did so in a decent amount of time and to a pretty darn good standard. Last Fall/Winter I had a personal challenge to do something similar. It was on a grander scale looking to accomplish about 70ish models for Confrontation, Urban War, and WarGods Olympus. While not going into too many details this was an absolute failure. Models got dropped, replaced; eventually it just became a total model count. This time it’s something new!
Time Frame:
All models must be painted and based (varnished at my discretion) by Nov 1st. All painted models will be put up on the Disorderlies Painting Blog, by Nov 13th.
The Models:
Here’s where it gets interesting. My last personal challenge failed in no small part to my short attention span on gaming company styles. So I’m shooting for 40 base sizes. What the hell is a base size? Well I’m planning to use the handy following formula
WM small base = 1 base size
WM medium base = 2 base sizes
WM Large base = 3 base sizes
If I decide to shoot for some of the big Figs (i.e. Reaper Dragons, Heresy Nether Lord, Tanks, etc…..) I’ll decide a reasonable base size for them at that time. Clearly my interests are focusing on Warmachine/Hordes but I’m leaving myself wide latitude to do what ever I feel like. One slight sideline item: I am including models which I have already started on in this. Nothing I’ve got is so close to completion that it would even matter. Somethings just happen to have a bit of a head start
The Reward:
Who the hell knows, maybe nothing, maybe an increase in my own sense of self worth. Maybe I’ll decide to pick myself up that mistress I keep threatening my wife with. Who knows. But I’ve already started.

The most painting I've gotten done was for the MegaBattle this year, so I might try a repeat of that. Maybe set a goal for myself for the GZG-ECC-X next year.
