Im thinking about doing a 'Tale of four gamers'-esque style thing on dakka if enough people are interested. If i get support i will post some guidelines,
anyone thinking of joining in post the armies you want to use and I will organise some stuff

More info?

Heh, I was planning on doing a similar thing, "Tau on $50 a month" as a six-month series of articles. I plan to launch it in January. The original "Tale of Four Gamers" was my inspiration for this project.

I'll do it if someone pays for me

Well, im sure that the tau thing will work , and i am sure if you ask nicely someone will pay for you

When do you plan on starting? I was thinking about starting Black templar..

As soon as i get enough interest, or until i can no longer wait to make my chaotic space wolf army,

Hello, I'm here to express interest.
As such, I will be monitoring this thread closely.

Oh, good the thread is finally getting some interest, if you know anyone else who might be interested spread the word, more interest=quicker start,
and on another not how many of us do you think should be involved?

Here is an option, what about i start after, or on, christmas, that way some of you will have more models and may be more interested
What does everyone think about that idea?

I have an IA8 Guard army getting started right now and I was thinking of doing a project blog.

I'm in, hopefully I can find that goddamn camera cord by the time this starts though, I'll be starting orks, Green Tide!

So far only one person has said they are in, aww
come on guys i need some actual answer, please

I'm game. Redoing my Dark Eldar anyway. More info and starting dates would be good thanks.

Ok, some guidelines
1. You can't use pre-painted models
2.Try to keep your armies legal
And any other guidelines the involved gamers come up with, i am trying to keep it as open as possible

As for a starting date: not too sure yet, sorry, what do you guys think?

Of course i will add guidelines if anyone feels one is needed

Thanks

No worries I meant starting with the new Dark Eldar range anyway. Can give a once a month update if you like on progress with a few pics of what's been painted?

Sure, that's what i was hoping for, but i have to organise some other players as well, or this is not going to go anywhere

On another note i will be starting Chaos for this if all goes well, namingly renegade Space Wolves/Word Bearers

Sounds fun. Give me a PM if you get enough interested. I was going to start a thread for the army once I got started anyway but doing a group thread is fun also. Best of luck and keep at it.

It sounds like a good idea, an actual cross-cultural, structured one. If you check out the P+M Blog forum you may find a few dotted around but they usually break down after a while...

I'd advise a form of motivation and/or competition to keep it alive and the participants working. For example, score penalties and bonuses for painting models, finishing on/off time, winning games etc.
Similar to the recent one in White Dwarf. I don't really advocate the competitive side of it, but hopefully it would keep the thread alive and the participants working hard as it really does often break down. Similarly, it could provide some extra motivation for those that focus more on the game or are weaker painters as - no offense - this ain't gonna be 'Eavy Metal standard.
I hope for you sakes you also have good management skills!

Sounds like a good idea though, I hope it kicks off well. I can't take part but I'll definitely express an interest. Particularly in Lexx's new Dark Eldar.
Good Luck Man.

I was thinking about using a point system based on whether the models are painted with background in mind rather than painting skill and it won't be up to just me everyone has a say in the scores, and possibly if models are painted in time, also there may be prizes... i shall say no more more, apart from that, and that.

Sounds like a good start to things at-least. Keep the ideas and the ball rolling and you may get somewhere with this...

Yeah, i do want this to work, and not to just fade off, that's why i might add a prize/s
