A New Challenge

Long time readers know that I occasionally indulge in hobby challenges. These are usually between Bodvoc and myself, such as our 6mm Fantastic Battles challenge during last October. We've even gone international with the First and Second International Townscape challenges, including Merijn from across the German Ocean.

A New Challenge
But now I'm joining someone else's challenge; Paint What You Got, organised by Dave on Wargames Terrain Workshop.
The gauntlet is thrown

I learned about this from long time commentator Snapfit of Da Green Horde, and it seems to be just my sort of thing. Basically, finish something between December 26th and February 28th. It can be something already begun or something new, just as long as it's finished within that window. This is just my kind of 'fuzzy target', pretty much anything I finish over the next several weeks would count.

But what to submit? I've some Rangers that I recently finished (must get their post completed), I'm nicely on with some Reaper zombies and some spiders, and I've got some Companions just started.
Perhaps a collection of stuff for Rangers of Shadow Deep? Maybe a Company plus Creatures for the first mission? Possibly adding in some terrain? 

Now the cynics out there might suggest that this will make no difference to my hobbying, but they're wrong.  What it will do is focus my mind on actually finishing things, something that I traditionally have difficulty in doing.
So thanks Dave for having me along for this.  I'm looking forward to it.

As I'm still not quite sure what will be my actual submission, I'm going to tag everything that is actually finished in the time window with PWYG so you can follow along.

  1. Might have to join in with this. It's delightfully vague enough to be wholly achievable. I'm also going to keep a record this year of miniatures and scenery purchased vs those painted. Bit of a swizz, as I think I've bought almost everything I need, so painting should far outweigh purchasing, but still, always fun!

  4. Nice idea so good luck with that. I shall opt out as I am currently working to a vague scheme. Still aimed at getting projects finished but more long term I think.
