Alright guys, here's the new painting challenge. It worked fine last year so the same rules will be used. Every Bartertowner and staff members may participate in the challenge.

For the new guys, it's pretty simple. I'll keep track of the points in the first post but please let me know the total of point you've painted in each post.

Only models mostly painted after january 1st 2016 can be submited in the challenge.

Here is the info on the points..

Regular infantry, 6mm inf./vehicle stands, 15mm inf. = 1pt.
Ogres, Ogrun, Trolls, terminators, Light Warjacks, 15mm Cavalry, 6mm large vehicles, defensiveline = 2pts.
Cavalry, Bikers, 15mm tanks = 3pts
Heavy Warjacks, Manticores, Hellpit Abominations, Smallish Vehicles, carnifexes, 15mm Big Stuff, bastion = 5pts.
Medium Vehicle (Leman Russ, Eldar Falcon, Tau Devilfish, etc...) = 6 points
Large Vehicles (Land Raiders, Valkyries, Trygon, WM War Engines) = 8pts.
Very Large Model ( Baneblade, imperial knight, etc...)= 10pts
Really HUGE Stuff (Titan, Stompa, etc...) = case by case

Models must be fully painted and based to count for points.

Concerning the bases, over on the LAF forum in the painting challenge, they have this:

"All figures must be mounted on finished bases, which may be textured, painted (with a pattern or in a solid, finished single colour) or consist of clear plastic (such as "flying" bases or clear acrylic/perspex shapes)."

And here are the points! If you would like to join, just post and let me know.

Btowner, paint on!

IN!

I'm in!

I'm in and I will absolutely paint models this year - a big fat zero for last year was pathetic.

Sign me up.

Sign me up. Let's see if I can beat my 63 points from last year.

5 points for the ravenguard contemptor 5 point for the tau rig and 1 for each drone
for a total of 15 points

I'm in...off to a good start and have to try out my new light box...

I'm in. I can hardly do worse than last year.

I have plenty to paint, too - my KoW KS showed up earlier this week, and I have a couple of brand new WM battle engines to paint before April as well.

Beat me to the punch!

I think our rivalry of painting shall be sung for generations!

Six days into the F*ing new year, and the most I've managed to do is look in the direction of some models I want to paint!
Maybe I'll get that GS cult started... I mean, I'm ONLY a year behind!

Sadly, not something I'm allowed to do during down time at work.

Everyone as been added to the list, nice start Skuller!

It would be silly of me to not join this but be in the builders challange.

Im in.
