In my previous post I indicated that I was going to be launching into another "slow grow" painting challenge. Well at the time, I didn't really understand just how much emphasis was going to be on the "slow" part of things...
May was the first month of the challenge, and we set off with a group of us declaring our planned involvement and what we were going to be working on:
- Me - Nuln Empire
- Noakes - Bretonnians
- Sean - Daemons
- Tim - Skaven
- Pete - Vampire Counts
- Hamish - Beastmen
- Jono - Wood Elves
The general guide was that we'd work on a rough target of about 250 points a month, with the aim of putting together a usable force over 8 months or so. All pretty simple, not very formal in terms of what order things were worked on. It's just meant to give some shape and motivation for getting some painting done.
Anyway, May is now done, and between us we have... not a whole lot to show for our efforts. Here's an update:
Me (Nuln Empire):
I figured I was starting the month with momentum on my side, having just worked my way through a regiment of Handgunners, and a War Wagon before that. This made me confident that I could tackle a relatively big opening month, and I declared I was going to paint a regiment of 20 Halberdiers and 10 Handgunners as their detachment.
How it started: 10 Halberdiers, 10 Handgunners, and a bonus Engineer. If I got all of that done, I'd be off to a flying start.
