Tale Of 20 Painters

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Tue Nov 04, 2014 5:55 pm

Welcome to the 2014 / 2015 Tale Of 'X' Painters.

The Tale Of 20 Painters will begin as of now and run until October 31st 2015.

Here are the rules...

Rules:

To keep this as a 'Tale' everything will be documented through this one thread. The first 12 posts will be reserved to contain everybody's work completed in each month throughout the year and as such will act as a summary of the Tale as our story develops.

Entrants must post a picture of their unit each month before it has been painted. A picture of the completely painted unit needs to be posted before the end of the month to have legitimately completed the challenge at the end of the 12 month period.

Please feel free to create your own WIP thread if you want to, but to keep the tale going you need to post a completed unit in the dedicated Tale Of 'X' Painters thread.

The definition of a unit for this is a group of 8 foot warriors, a character (or group of characters if you are going by War Of The Ring, which I do not have to hand so am not following), 2 mounted warriors, or a siege weapon / monstrous creature. For example, painting Orcs over the space of the next year I could have 6 mounted Hunter Orcs (3 months) 24 Hunter Orcs (3 months) 16 Gundabad Orcs (2 months) led by Bolg, Azog, Mounted Yazneg and Gundabad Orc Captain (4 months).

This may not seem like a lot to some, but those painters among you that are anything like myself, will see that as a challenging enough task for completion over 1-year. This is intended for painters (or gamers) in need of motivation getting going with an army, or who take aaaaaaaages to get paint to their minis, like myself.

The challenge is to enter units so that you can have a nicely painted army at the end. In order to stick to the spirit of the game, do not repeatedly enter with single characters and expect it to count, be sensible and enjoy as our very own tale unfolds.

I'll be painting up some Elves this month.

Umm, so I made a mistake. I was so enthusiastic to get going at the start of the month that I didn't take a proof picture... I could post a WIP shot, or I could try and find something else to paint? The problem is that a lot of my various collections are half painted...

So I have finally taken pictures of my 1000 point Corsair army, which will be part of my Tale of X Gamers - my theme is the Corsair Wars and so I also need to paint my Dol Amroth and Fiefdoms armies (photos to follow).
