After reading a thread about unfinished work, I realized that I need some motivation.  Unfortunately I just have none, despite the desire.  Combined with two kids, job, wife, and a new house I just can't seem to get anything done model-wise.

So, anyone interested in competing to see who can finish their army first?  I have an entire IG army sitting in blisters and not a single thing is put together (save for the aircraft that were already made for the SMs).  

I need to be able to crank through it and perhaps a bit of public coaxing and smack talk will do the trick.  

Competition Rules:

First take pictures of everything you have to work on and post them.  Then each day you must either post progress or post that you made none.  Name calling from the public will be encouraged. :devil:

First person to complete their army will win.... I don't know- SOMETHING.  Perhaps anyone entering has to ante up (but don't ante something you aren't willing to part with).  Winner takes all.  Competitors have to work on similar sized projects, although paint job quality shouldn't be a big factor (just being painted in more than one color should suffice).

Modeled
Painted
Flocked

No more than 4 competitors so things don't get out of hand.  Although if there are enough crazy people out there we could have more than one competition.

Any takers?

You can count me in, but I don't have much that is still in blisters. As for a prize, bragging rights are fine by me.

I can play too, but mine would be a NetEpic army and probably huge-ish....unless I picked Squats I suppose.

March will be bad for me as well, which is why I want to do it in March.  :)

Should be fun, amigos! :D

For me biggest present is that army is done! So maybe you can count me in with my space marines, I started that army in feb 1st, (so one month ahead) as you can see from my thread, and I'm hoping to get that done around 6k. Of course if you  want some new armies, then soon is chaos time...

I'm currently racing to complete an army for GT but..... I really don't want to post pictures before the GT. so I really can't join in. Though maybe watching you lot complete stuff could help. Maybe I could be obscure.

finished most of the infantry.

to do
4 Command infantry
16 transports
2 Scout Titans
3 SHV
3 Artilery
9 Tanks
10 Scouting vehicles.

lot of conversions to complete too.

So far today I've undercoated the command stands.

Seems like now would be a good time to try to get some minis done.

Soon there will be NO time for that sort of thing.  :D

Hi Moscovian Comraqde,

Good luck, but I can't race right now.

All the best to you and yours!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
