This year I plan on being more focused and prepared. There should be plenty of wonderful minis painted in the Challenge over the next few months, so I think you're in for a treat.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!! :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-57899737019621256452015-12-02T11:40:13.927-08:002015-12-02T11:40:13.927-08:00Having only been vaguely aware of the Challenge th...Having only been vaguely aware of the Challenge through posts referring to it, I shall be spectating properly this year. A nice varied selection of figures there, which should prove helpful one you get started, as there's nothing worse than rank and file, in my opinion. Funnily enough I too have been painting a grossly muscled behemoth with torn clothing, but it's not the Hulk...there's definitely something strange in MY neighbourhood. ;-)Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-52961975946657807872015-12-02T11:19:21.406-08:002015-12-02T11:19:21.406-08:00Thanks Dai.

The Challenge does last for three months though, so there's plenty of time to 'pick off' a few minis here and there... and I've plenty more being prepared for the later stages of the event ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-47465643221933823882015-12-02T10:31:07.461-08:002015-12-02T10:31:07.461-08:00Whoah!

I thought the "Star Wars" stuff was a good choice for the same reason as come the middle of this month I am bound to be in the mood for all things connected to the Force, so some George Lucas tabletop goodness should keep me going well into the New Year. Huge thanks to you for directing me towards Popeye etc... I hope my paint schemes won't disappoint.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
