Gather 'round, ye painters of miniatures, for the call to arms echoes through the realms of gray! As the brush-wielding warriors of the Battle Against The Gray (BATG), we stand united against the relentless tide of unpainted miniatures threatening to engulf our creative sanctuaries. The battleground is set, the paints are ready, and the war drums beat with the rhythm of countless unpainted models waiting to be transformed.
In the hallowed tradition of BATG, our mission remains clear: paint more than you acquire, and let not the gray hoard conquer your hobby space. Every brushstroke is a strike against the forces of inertia, and every painted model is a victory in the ongoing war on gray!
For those unfamiliar or those who have let the rules slip from memory, fear not! The rules are simple yet potent, encapsulated in the sacred code of positive and negative scores. Every acquired miniature, when pledged to the paintbrush, adds to your score. Every meticulously painted model deducts from it.
The spreadsheet is updated with a new sheet for 2024. Starting with BATG23 you only have to fill in what you did that month and the spreadsheet calculates the net score, this will stay the same for 2024.
But why, you ask? The answer is as simple as a well-executed dry brush technique—because we refuse to be buried under an avalanche of unpainted plastic! Paint them, use them, and revel in the satisfaction of defeating the gray menace.
And for those who emerge victorious in this miniature crusade, glory awaits in the form of badges!
