Mongoose
Hello and welcome to the very first monthly Mongoose Publishing Forum Painting Challenge. The aim is simply to encourage people to get painting, especially if you've got a load of miniatures lying around (or still in boxes) unpainted. It's open to all and the rules are really simple:
1. You have 10 days to make vows. Anything you want to change before then is fine. All vows lock after 10 days.
2. Please post work-in-progress pictures if you can, it's always good to see things come together and see how other people do things.
3. If you want to include some "maybe" items in your vow, this is fine, but please mark them as such.
I'll list vows here as they're made, and once the challenge is over I'll gather people's finished pictures (such as we have) into a gallery post at the end.
Q&A:
Q: Do I have to paint Mongoose miniatures?
A: No, you can paint anything you like, be it Mongoose, GW, Rackham, PP, etc. or any combination.
Q: What if I don't have a camera?
A: If you say you completed on time, we will believe you. If you're lying, you officially suck.
Q: Can I vow models that I've started painting already?
A: Yes, although it's a bit cheesy to vow something that's 90% done already.
Q: When is the closing date?
A: End of the month. Vows lock on the 11th.
Q: Can I vow miniatures I haven't actually got yet?
A: Yes, but this is risky, especially if you're mail-ordering them. It's probably wiser not to vow miniatures you haven't actually acquired.
Q: Are there any prizes?
A: Those who complete their vows on time will be named and praised. Those who don't will be named and shamed. There may be honourable mentions for particularly well-painted models, but this is not so much a competition as an encouragement to paint.
If you've got any other questions, feel free to ask them here.
