Over on Forumopolis, I’ve been taking part in a wargaming painting challenge. Since several of us are behind in our army painting, we each resolved to take an average-to-large army for our respective games (40k works out to 1500-1750 points), divide the army into ten roughly equal segments point-wise, and paint one segment a month for a year (with 2 floating months off as needed). I’ve been working on my Tau cadre, and as of the end of July I have around 300 points completed (I finished up 120 points in June as a preliminary month). So far, I’ve been pleased with the results.

I should have August’s minis up soon - a 150 pt. squad of Stealth Suits and Marker Drones are in progress as we speak. September’s minis - another squad of Fire Warriors, with some gun drones to pad out the points - are primed and ready to go. For more pictures, visit the Miniatures page.

I’m going to give this thing another college try. This time, though, I’m sticking with Wordpress, so I don’t have to gut the site completely and start over. I’m just ditching all the old posts and writing on a fresh slate. Now I just need to find a good Wordpress gallery for miniature pictures, screenshots, etc.
