Let's Get to Work - A Tale of Painters

  • The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
I've already started. I put my plog in 'Faces of our next meal' for now.I will still be painting non-stop throughout the coming months so just start counting whenever.
 
I would also like to start in June due to exams. I don´t have as much as Darvy but I still got some stuff to do. (And my parrents are killint me if I don´t spend enough time on my studying :lol: )
 
Ill start on my bases tomorrow. If we start somewhere in may I can have most of those assembled with what I have and some orders will be in. My preference would be middle to the end of may.
 
This sounds great! i would love to do it but I can not afford the models I need for an army, my current forces are many goblins from battle of skull pass pretending to be ghouls or Black guard of Naggarond. :( I also dont have the time with uni coming to an end. I have many pots to make (studying ceramics). I shall do it next time though :D
 
Hi Guys and Girls.

If this competition will be start in June so for me is too late but in my opinion it's very good idea! I'm already in painting my army (when it will be over then will be photos). Already i've to paint 2xVarghulfs (one of them will be done in this weekend), many Skellies(70/90? - 30 from 7th ed, 30 from 5th ed and many from 6th and many of them is clear), many characters, Blood Knights from Gamezone and Chaos Knights so will be converted to Blood Knights also. Oh! one Corpse Cat and thats all from clear minis... many minis (Varg, metal Grave Guards, Black Coach, 13 form 80 Ghouls left and BSB, 2 Vampires + 1 Vamp on Hellsteed) have painting started and actually i've to finnish'em in next 3/4 weeks (all of them). In May i will paint some minis from over "clear" list and to June i did not have 2,5k pts to paint... i've motivation and spend many hours a week near paints and brushes :) and also my painting speed is near by speed of turtle ;)
 
If most of the people here wanna start May 1st than I most certainly cant do 2250. No way, No how. Unless you all give me beastmen figurines :P
 
Any chance of some official moderation on this? I think there's a definite list of people who are in, but we need some direction. I think it's a great idea. No reason it couldn't be done in a few batches. Get some running on May 1st, then start some others off later on... That would give those who either don't have the models or the time at the moment time to gear up. Excluding anyone kind of goes against what this site's all about and anyone up for it and who's serious should be given a fair crack at it.

Any ideas DoN?

My dear boy, I am the moderator on this one! Surely your ignorance can't be dealt with! BAHAHAHA!

Just kidding ;)

What I am doing now is called gaining a consensus of who is anxious to undertake this journey with me. So relax, I'm looking to include as many of you poor souls in this as I possibly can.

In my realm of sports, specifically track and field, we run things in heats. My idea, before I was doubted, was to run groups at different times based on their point values. On May 1st, we could have those who want to paint 2250 or more, and weeks later start those with fewer points and so forth.

Or we could have people pledge amounts, start them with their forces, and have an overall deadline when they should have them done. I'm not looking to exclude anyone out of this. If I was going for that, then I simply wouldn't start this thread up - we're all here to have fun!

Here's my proposal:
Overall deadline is October 1st. This should give everyone a decent shot at completing this.

May 1st: 2,250 points and above will start. If we have people who are in this point realm, but can't make it, they can start in the next heat.

June 1st: 0-2,249 points start at this mark. From here on out, we're all on the same mark to finish by October 1st. If you weren't able to make it to the May 1st start, this is where you'll be starting from.

How does this sound?

If I get enough agreement on this, I'll begin the actual signup and pledge form.



Oh and for good measure, here's what I'm looking at:

1 Level 4 MoT Sorceror on Disk
60 WoC, MoT
50 Marauders
10 Knights
2 Chariots
3 Dragon Ogres
1 Hellcannon
I plan on starting May 1st for my list and pledge to be done by October 1st.

Common sense (21 exams) + practicality (nothing but a poor camera-phone to take pictures with) compel me to drop out of this one. I will paint my stuff, just, well, not with you guys and not quite as quickly. I'll watch with interest (if I'm not a zombie come june) but I simply cannot participate.

Hope you guys have fun, though. Looks like a great idea.
 
Ill start may 1st. I have:

- 20 Bestigor (eventually 10 more)
- 40 Gors
- 20 Ungors
- 6 Minotaurs
- 3 Razorgors
- Ghorgon
- Beastlord x2
- Great bray shaman
- Bray shaman x2
- Doombull
- Wargor BSB
- Gorebull BSB

I pledge to be done by october 1st....

PS,

Can we add stuff later? lets say I think im gonna make it so I add more?
 
I will also start may 1st I have:

- 18 Saurus
- 18 Saurus
- 20 Temple Guard
- 8 Saurus Cold One Riders
- 12 Skinks
- 1 Engine of the Gods (Stegadon)
- 1 Chieftain on Stegadon
- 1 Ancient Stegadon
- 1 Slann Mage-Priest
- 6 Chameleon Skinks

I plan on starting May 1st for my list and pledge to be done by October 1st.
My list is looking a hell of lot more like 3k+ points but its worth a try!
 
SORRY!

lol

I think enthusiasm got the better of me. *hangs head in shame*

I certainly wasn't suggesting you were excluding people, so I apologise for that.

I'd be up for 2250 starting on May 1st. Will post an army list later tonight (if the kids leave me alone for long enough!). Will definitely be Chaos Space Marines though.

You are forgiven, my son. Now kiss the ring!

Haha, no worries, bud. I'm excited for it too. Let's see that list. The sad thing is that I'm looking at adding more guys to my list.

Official Sign Up Thread will begin tomorrow. Please bring your army lists, enthusiasm and an organ of your choice to sign away.

If anyone has a church organ, please give it to me. I want to learn Bach's Toccatta SO MUCH but it'd sound so weak on a piano.

Erm, oh yeah I forgot, 21 exams *yay*... just send the organ over and leave it outside then. xD
 
Hey Guys,

I'm new to the forum...as of today actually:rolleyes:, but I'd love to get involved with this (I really need a kick in the pants to get things finished and this could be just what I need). A couple options actually, I've started with a mantic undead army, but also have quite a few chaos models and could easily come up with 2500pts from either category, so I guess what I'm asking is, what would people prefer to see?

May 1st would work perfectly as I'm done exams on the 26th of April (sorry CD, 21 seems like an entirely ungodly number of exams for any one person, good luck!).
 
Ok then, Undead it is, dying to get those guys out of their graves and onto a table,

I'll be going with:
Vampire Lord barded horse
Vampire
Necromancer on CC
Wight King BSB
29 skeles w. spears + FC
20 skeles + FC
10 ghouls + ghast
9 Black Knights + FC
20 Grave Guard + FC
3 Spirit Hosts
4 Wraiths + Banshee

So maybe a little over 2500, and dont have all the models yet, but "lets get to work"!
 
This sounds nice. :) I don't have time enough to have a blog but this really gives some motivation to paint models. So, if we can paint models from different armies I'm on it (I don't have money to buy a new army and all my armies are started).

So... Here's the list of mine.

* 110 Crypt Ghouls (*gasp*)
* 100 Night Goblins (*another gasp*)
* Wolf Chariot
* 2 Goblin Warbosses
* 4 Night Goblin Fanatics
* 5 Goblin Wolf Riders
* 5 Trolls
* 2* Rock Lobber (3 crewmen are done)

Lots of things to paint, but if I don't start, when are they ready? So, the 1st of May is the day to start? I'm on it.

- Cheers, Skarsnik. :thumbsup:
