Aiming for 1000 28mm figures in 12 months.....Now that's miniature-soldiering...
Hail, lizards and friends of old, and welcome to this blog. I'm posting this a few days early from the turn of the year, as is tradition. Any further 2025 painting prep will be posted here, although models finished before end of year will be added to the 2024 thread.
As you may well know, I log my painting progress each year and this main post becomes a list of everything I've painted. I assign points values based on size and complexity as a form of inspiration to continue to paint. My goal is normally 365 miniatures or equivalents per year. My initial goal this year is up to 1000 infantry 28mm figures.
To stand testament to my progress, my tracker and self imposed rules are below, to be edited as necessary.
Wargamers Challenge 2025 =
Main scales - 28mm+ = 574
Grand Scales - 10mm = 206
Rules:
Main scales are 1/72 and 28mm
Smalls encompasses anything smaller than 20mm (1/72) plus starships
Standard infantry count as one for painting
Cavalry count as two for painting
ogre sized models count as two for painting. This includes arguably ogre sized infantry models such as primaris and stormcast.
Monsters count as anywhere between 3-10, depending on size (see below)
Chariots count as 5 for painting
Transports count as 5
Battle Tanks count as 5
Behemoths for AoS start out at 5, more if justified.
Fliers/aircraft count as 5-10 depending on size.
Larger models determined on a case by case basis
