I’m still working on a project I started in December with the intent of finishing by the end of 2025. As you can see, that hasn’t happened. I just can’t seem to paint for long periods of time, and this project contains 20 miniatures. (That’s half of what was originally planned, by the way.)
Painting such a large number of miniatures is something I haven’t done in a long time, and it got me thinking about starting a new challenge for March, entitled, appropriately enough, “Forced March”. What are the rules?
Paint an infantry or cavalry unit in March. This can be any size unit, although I feel like it should be more than a one-model unit (like a giant, for example). Vehicles are allowed, but again, preferably more than one. So, a squad of Eldar jet bikes is fine, but a Leman Russ is just being lazy. This can be for any game and in any scale.
So these Dwarfs would work.
Ditto for these Klingons.
Or these Colonial Marines.
Or even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They’re a unit, too, right?
Let me know if you want to participate and as usual, I’ll link your blog/site/Instagram account when the challenge commences! At the rate I’m painting, I likely won’t be doing anything too ambitious, myself. I’m hoping another challenge might kick me in the pants and jazz me up, because Monster May(hem) will be here before you know it!
As I have a lot of squads sat on my desk, I’m in Keith. I can’t imagine finishing them all before the end of February so should have plenty to work on.
Sounds good, Dave. I’m hoping that by hosting a challenge I’ll actually paint something myself!
I might be up for this mate, I have a couple of units I want to paint up this year and this is a good motivator for one at least, been looking about for a project for this year I’ve done VBCW, pirate’s, spies, Hott, Post apoc in the past and I’ve still got to Finnish my Deadzone stuff, but nothing is grabbing me at present.
Cheers Roger
Great! I still have this immediate project hanging over my head, but I can find the time to paint up a small unit of something next month. I’m going to paint something I’ve had for way too long. That won’t be hard to find. I’ll be spoiled for choice!
I’d definitely be up for this please, Keith, if you’ll have me. I have a fair few Napoleonic units wanting some attention, as well as some Flash Gordon related squads too.
Of course, Simon! The more, the merrier!
