This is a very cool idea! I am a little ashamed of how many greys I have … so many, so so many.
I really need to do another one of those diary of a painter thingy’s again, only ever did one but it was good cuz I actually got some stuff painted.

How it worked was a bunch of people got together and pledged 1000 points worth of models to paint up over a period of time, for very vague memory it may have been 3 months, or was it 4 weeks… anyways there was intervals (I think 4??) where you would show your progress to the others and by the end you had 1000 points painted and a bit of fun with mates along the way.

@Deebo thats sort of what battle against the grey is about, except the “You should paint X points” part. That could be a personal goal ofcourse.

For me the goal is to at least paint as much as i add, but if possible double what i paint vs what i have.

It is a great idea, thank you @HashutsBlessing for raising the banner on this particular project and I thought it be nice to have one place to track rather than across multiple threads.

I must admit a little daunting to see it all layed out like this, I’ve just updated the first post to have a total tracker and a project tracker too because I think it’s an extra boost to confidence to see a completed project ticked.

It’s nice to have to limit the projects I add to this and also to see easy fixes (will definitely be turning to some Blood Bowl teams to bolster those numbers)

Of course haha. My PaintSlam (very similar to battle against the grey) had “finish slaanesh and make a Roman army” so obviously I started a brettonian mordheim warband and a new CD fantasy army :see_no_evil:

Oh dear, whilst contemplating picking up the new Dominion box it drew me to update this thread. What an eye opener it was too, I really don’t need more projects to do :man_facepalming:t2:
I’ve updated some of the projects above to include Titanicus and 40k Orks, some updates on the threads too

That may have sealed the deal for me not picking up this new box :cd1991gif:
