    I'm all for this, count me in. Now to work feverishly to complete what I've been working on. Do I need to say what exactly I will be working on?

    Count me in - I'll be painting up a bunch of stuff between now and then anyway. Planning a Skink BSB conversion at the moment, so this will probably be my entry...

    I'm up! New here and have just started with lizardmen. Painted 2.5k worth of Skaven before this, and have 24 saurus done so far.

    I'll be participating with a slightly modified Avatars of War Scar vet/Oldblood :)

    Ok.....

    Since I failed miserably with SebM's slow painters challange I had decided I will further my embarassment to an epic level. I want in on this, Please?

    Do we get to choose which character we wish to paint?
    I just bought the Kroq-Gar minature. If you haven't purchased this gem you will never know the true meaning of pinning insanity. All metal, many many parts.

    So, April 22nd? One month to complete?

    you bet Kaax Taat - anything you want. Doesn't have to even be a character, a Unit Champ will do.

    @dictator - no you don't have to nominate what you're working on; many people are though.
    By my count we have 13 entrants so far:
    Moi
    Walgis
    Juhaaha
    Thunda Parrot
    Scizith
    n810
    1968yearofmetall
    dictator
    T'hinker'er
    Arli
    Deathfrisbee2000
    Javster
    Kaax Taat
    and SeBM who'svolunteered to be our contest organiser.

    is it ok with a unit champion for DE corsairs. or musican or standard if you´d rather want that.
    maybe, and just MAYBE, I´ll buy a sorceress before the 22nd. but probaby not...

    You can count me in. The trouble is going to be deciding what to paint since I have so much unopened/unpainted to choose from. We're starting April 22 and ending May 22? I'm assuming we're going for quality here not speed, right?

    @1968 - absolutely OK. any race is acceptable.

    @Viarca - exactly, quality is the name of the game.

    I'll get in on this. Been too busy to paint much lately but this will motivate me. I'll paint my Lord Kroak model for this I think

    I'm in as well.
    Thought I vote it doesn't need to be secretive, then we can post midway pics and ask advice as we go along. Also means Sebm can be involved (I'd argue he can play either way)

    But if thats the decided nature of the challenge so be it I'm in either way!

    Space Marines = tasty treat :) but yeah they're allowed as well. I was planning on doing my Hive Tyrant, but gaps ahoy/pinning = too much effort.

    I hate green stuff and pinning. :)

    Down with multi part metal minis!

    hi,

    is there a limitation on the size of the character. meaning can i enter with a slan or a engine og the gods.
    if i could participate with my engine of the gods there seems to be a problem. i have allreasy painted halve of it and i do not have a photo of it beeing udercoated or not painted

    I'm trying to decide what challenge level I'm ready for. I got a couple HE mages to do, teclis and the IoB Mage. Chalax (sp) or if I'm really bold the IoB griffin lord which I hacked off the lion back legs and need to rebuild an eagles tail.

    no size limits - basically if it's a single mini it's eligible. The bigger you go, the more work you may have to do!
    It will have to be naked for contest entry though - so you may have to look at doing your Slann.

    another 4 entrants to the list! 17 entrants so far:
    Moi
    Walgis
    Juhaaha
    Thunda Parrot
    Scizith
    n810
    1968yearofmetall
    dictator
    T'hinker'er
    Arli
    Deathfrisbee2000
    Javster
    Kaax Taat
    Viarca
    Infyra
    Eladimir
    Stelios
    and our contest organiser SeBM.

    Is anyone else planning on doing a 40K model? I think if we get to 20 entrants we may have enough for a category split.
