A Tale of X Gamers

SO, Ive been walking with this idea for a while now. The plan is to make our own dakkadakka version of the painting competition of 'a Tale of X Gamers'.

What is A Tale of X Gamers?
A Tale of X Gamers (ATG for short) is a painting competition in wich a group of gamers starts making building and painting an army. The goal is to get, in the time in wich the competition runs, a big and nicely painted army. At the end, one of the gamers will win, probably (lets hope so ) the best one. Ofcourse, this is all for fun.

For how long will this version run?

This version wil run from the 1st of May 2012 to the 31st of October 2012. Gamers will post updates every while, be it every week, once in the 2 weeks, or once each month. How many times you show your army updates does not matter, but make it at least once in a month. If your on a holiday, tell it before you go. Ofcourse, the more you update, the more people will see your work, and the more votes you may get at te end of the competition.

How do you join?

Joining is simple: just tell you want to join ATG and with what army. After that, prepare yourself for painting and assambling!

It is
Want to join?

Could I join with my Eldar? ( Note I already have a somewhat small collection)

Hey I'd join in, im starting my AoP army anyway..

I wouldn't mind joining with my Warp Dragons Space Marine army...

Welcome to you all

^for mine you can just put Skyrim Empire, I should be updating sometime this week

I will warn you guys now, my painting is kind of bad, and my wallet is a little tight, I don't plan on winning, but this sounds like a fun way to make my painting skills better (I will have a reason to try to paint well!), but I might have a spike near the beggining of july (birthday)

Meh, may as well join I'll just put Imperium down, since i run hybrid lists.

i wont be able to update in July

Id be happy to join with a very devout word bearers army im starting be very converstion heavy though

I've just noticed that we are supposed to be starting new armies? Mine is kind of part done (nnothing is fully painted and most of it is not built yet) - does this matter?

I'm in the process of accruing a 2k GK army. I'm interested in joining.

Will I have to do Posts or something? Because I already post about it on a blog.

Could i join? I have a chaos space marine battleforce box tht is dying to be opened.

You can join.
The official idea is new armies,but I wont have problems with existing armies.

Well mine is a new army really as its an unopened box, and i dont have other chaos.

My Iron Warrior "count as" blood angels, just started painting last night too

Id write you down too, then?

Cool idea. I'm up for it. Just started a new Yme-Loc eldar army.
Sign me up!

That makes us with *quick math* 10.
Now thats a good start
As for the expanding armies, jst do an update (say once every week, every two weeks or every month), just show your new stuff

Sweeeet. Non of my local gamers want to do this sorta project, but i have for ages. Gonna start planning my army. Hmmm what to take?

miniature soldiers

Eh, why the hell not. I need to finish painting my army anyway.

Chowderhead's Burn Wolves, 6th Great Company, M.40

Welcome

I need to make more Dakka friends. Count me in with some dirty dirty Grey Knights!

Well sure.
How dirty are they?

Shame cant be crowned off with games!

Dirty in the fact that they are Grey Knights. Nothing more.
