So here’s my proposal for the 2013 pledge. Qupapoko and Old Mossy seem to think it’s a good one. I think 2013 it’s deserves its own stickied thread. Is this a satisfactory kick off for you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If no one is opposed, I’m going to propose a 2013 New Years Painting Pledge for the forum.
2012 painting New Year’s Resolution was about thrift and productivity. Paint more than you buy.

2013 painting New Year’s Resolution is about quality and daring. Start a difficult project this year outside your normal comfort zone and complete to a high level of personal satisfaction before December 31st.
Note what counts as difficult and new for one person may be easy and routine for another. This is about competing with yourself not others. Encourage your fellow forumites in this endeavor but this is not a competition.
WIP photos are awesome but if everyone does it this thread will get bogged down so I think everyone should make an initial challenge post and then later a completed works post with photos when they are done. As option you can also try to repeat the 2012 pledge too if you want to go for quality AND quantity this year.

Plan:
Link to WIP (If desired): (Remember to use the linkeh boxes around it!)
2012 painting challenge this year?:
I will Start us Off…
Declaration: I, Scalenex have only thus far done minor conversions thus far in my table top gaming career and I have done few relatively large models. I plan to make a model where nearly every piece is kit bashed or converted. A Corpse Cart to be the centerpiece for my Lustrian theme Vampire Counts Storm of Magic Pact Army. This will be a stepping stone to even bigger conversion projects in the future.
Plan: The Corpse Cart will have the basic chassis of the Corpse Cart but I will replace the wheels with crude wooden wheels, replace the corpses with converted Sauri and Skinks, replace the driver with witch doctor necromancer I found from Reaper, replace the zombies pulling the cart with zombified Cold Ones (the old school Cold Ones that looked ugly and brow beaten, perfect for the undead). I will paint the whole model in a nuanced detail oriented noticeably above the current level of my models. I plan to add other features as inspirations strikes me. To get me suitably warmed up for this project. I plan to boost my converted Lizardmen zombie horde from its current 4 members to something more substantial and make some similarly themed Spirit Hosts. In a waste not want not mentality, I will use the human corpses that come with the Corpse Cart to make a Charnel Pit. I’d also like to try to finish more models than I buy this year.

I can't handle painting ranks of soldiers, so I think finishing two units of Saurus on top of the other three projects that are under way is a good enough goal for one year's worth of painting
