Paint What You Got 25/26

Paintbrushes at Dawn

Dave Stone has announced the next Paint What You Got challenge over on Wargames Terrain Workshop.

I really enjoyed taking part in the last one, not only did it focus my hobby enough to get minis and terrain ready for the first Rangers of Shadow Deep mission, it also encouraged me to take part in more challenges this year.

The challenge runs from Boxing Day (26th December) to 26th February, and it's delightfully fuzzy. Simply paint stuff. 

I assume that it's not really the done thing to add new stuff (so any Christmas presents should just squeeze in), but maybe that's just me.

But What? 

Me taking part is certain; what I paint is less so. Here are some of the possibilities.

Rangers of Shadow Deep Mission Two. Since I did mission one last time, it would be fitting to do mission two this time. I don't need as many minis this time, mostly just gnolls, so I might have time to move on to something else.

More Undead. Bodvoc is planning a Warlords of Erehwon campaign, for which I will need to boost my Undead beyond the minis required for Terror of the Lichemaster. I've already got quite a bit to paint (so it ticks the 'got' box).

Orc's Drift. I realised the other day that I actually have just about everything I need for Bloodbath at Orc's Drift. I've painted the minis for Ashak Rise, so maybe pick another of the scenarios?

6mm Fantastic Battles. I've painted a good amount of dwarves and a more eclectic gang of orcs. I've got the minis, so perhaps I should get two decent armies finished?

Fellowship of the Ring Journey Book. The three journey books provided a good framework for a 'Slo-Gro' MESBG collection, with painting advice and terrain building too. I've long wanted to tackle this, so I could finally make a start. It's also an excuse to sort through my collection and thin it out somewhat. For instance, I've got more than nine Ringwraiths, clearly I can get rid of some.

Dungeons and Dragons Minis. I really enjoyed rationalising my undead collection for the Crypt of the Vampire Knight adventure. It would be a useful exercise to do the same with more of my RPG minis collection.

Choices

Phew, that's a lot of options. Knowing me, I'll probably end up doing something completely different. Regardless, I'll have a lot of fun, and hopefully I'll make a bit of a dint in the lead massif.

You're Welcome

Why not join us in the challenge? All you have to do is paint something during the two months and post pictures. Here's the link again, so you've no excuse. Leave Dave a comment on his post so he knows you want to take part.
