    I'm thinking same as last time but there may not be prizes so it will just be more of a terrain challenge.

    I don't think anyone expects prizes, just the prestige!

    Agreed, prizes aren't necessary, but I am willing to donate my entry as a prize. Won't be a great prize, but what the hell, it's something. And I have some snow covered pine trees from xmas decorations still in the package, that I can make a base for and add that in as well.

    I'll probably not pay international shipping cos I'm a cheap ass, but I'll gladly make some of the aztec ruins I use on my bases and post that and a pack of flowers to whoever wins also.

    Thanks.

    [_X_] Carnosaur (don't have)
    [_✔️_] 8 Cold One Knights (I know I have six)
    [_✔️_] 12 Warriors (...not sure I have 12 all the same...)

    So if I was to do this I would need to substitute something for the Carnosaur. I have some Cold One Knights primed already. For Saurus Warriors I will have to dig thru sprues might or might not have 12 similar Saurus Warriors. I have many more unpainted Skinks.

    What if it was:

    Bastilodon or Stegadon
    8 Cold One Riders
    12 Skinks with Bows

    ??

    Nope you don't need to anything more than that, @BeardyGecko is not putting restrictions on anything.

    Exactly, you can paint anything you want. The goal is to manage to paint a (more or less similar) amount of models in the time frame.
    Ps: for my space marines I´ll provably be painting 10 scouts with sniper rifles a land speeder storm, and hopefully 3 scout motorbikes

    Is everybody set and ready to go? I completely forgot it was a bank holiday Monday so that's a massive bonus for UK participants :p

    Oh and I'm going to be putting some guys together over the next few days unless there's an objection to that? It takes me ages to get through that usually, so I don't want it to get in the way of the actual painting!

    Not exactly ready but hopefully soon!

    My list:

    10x Scouts with sniper rifles
    1x land speeder storm
    3x scout motorbikes (?)

    The only problem I might encounter is that I´ll be having final exams in a month and a half. I´ll finish school on June 15th, so hopefully I´ll be able to pull some more models off those two last weeks anyways :)

    If I was on it, I'd have to have a single model only. Then maybe I would have a chance to finish the challenge.

    No way I could get through all those models in such a short time frame.
