This was a post on WAMP-forum.com blog on 9/7/2014, re-posting here to catch up folks who don't have a WAMP account. (1 of 3)
I have been almost obsessively prepping minis for the past couple of
weeks, mainly Sedition Wars and some Malifaux. Maybe learning to
airbrush primer and main basecoat, and being given a new airbrush,
changed my approach. By September 1, I felt it was time to challenge
myself, really push to paint as many models as possible by the end of
2014.
I mentioned it to Bloodthorn and he suggested I look into the 6-Month Mountain Reduction and Painting Challenge, as Chris' Miniature Woes
and others have started. I am joining in with some lofty goals of my
own. First, though, here are the rules, lifted almost verbatim...
September 1, 2014
1. No purchasing of new
miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker card. Like in a deck of cards,
you get two jokers to use on a figure purchase during the six months of
the challenge. Could be a blister pack, an ebay bundle, or a single
figure...you can't splurge.
2. Gifts do not count against
you, e.g. Christmas, birthdays, etc. Also, if you're given gift cards
by your hobby-illiterate family or friends, you can use them without
penalty on anything you want, miniatures-wise. {Like Chris, I also luck
out here with Christmas and my birthday during this 6 Months}
3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.
4. At least one hobby related
blog post and/or Instagram update a week. If you Instagram, be sure
to hashtag your pic with #6MMRPC
5. Zombtober will be part of the 6 month challenge so, Zombie related stuff during October is ENCOURAGED!
More about the goals tomorrow!
