Ok, we’ve all agreed to start working on shrinking our piles of plastic during this time of turmoil. So I have a proposition: do your absolute best you can on one figure (or unit), the bigger the better, but no requirements beyond that. Even if you’ve started it, as long as it isn’t even close to done. Take your time, your model (or unit) is due by the time the virus threat ends. When the world lockdown is over, turn in however far you got. Bonus points for Nurgle, Plague, or diseased models of any type, I guess.

To start this off...I’m painting Archaon on Dhorgor. I starter base coating the wings and heads and saved him for a rainy day. I think that day is here.

There is no prize, just a good old fashioned way to try to make the best of this situation with a bit of a push.

I finished an ork warboss I bought 20 years ago and never painted. I've also done the color coats on a deff dread, battle wagon, skorcha bomber, a 3rd edition truck, and have about 20 boys color blocked in!

I get a little manic with new armies lol. Are you wanting pictures?

Just started undercoating the skin on a unit of Blightkings to go with the Lord of Blights I painted following Darren Latham's masterclass, so we'll see how that goes.

If things end up being particularly grim, I might even paint a pair of Pusgoyle Blightlords.

Pics to be shown off should be submitted when the various quarantines are lifted from your country/state. Aka, if you live in the US and Trump’s suggested quarantine ends on 4/30/20, your pics are due then. Basically when the final restriction is lifted your pics are due. Cheers, and I hope everyone uses this time to push their skills and churn out one amazing model (among the other models painted).

I'm in. Made a start on some chaos warriors that have been sat on a shelf for far too long, and I have pulled out a couple of other chaos bits to go with them.

I'm already in the last stages of finishing a 6x6 assault car I had lying around for months...
Next off I have some projects I ordered including:
5 native african IG guardsmen
10 counts as Death Korps Combat Engineers (Stalkers from Puppetswar)
10 counts as Scions (Commandos from Puppetswar)
19 irokese as IG Guardsmen (Warlord Games)
1 Ork Buggy and a scifi looking Jeep from Puppetswar as Tauros Assault Vehicles
And a lot of jungle bases to rebase some of my guardsmen that are currently standing on desert sand and would be more fitting in the greens...

Let's see how far I come with those... If I get half of it done during quarantine, I would be proud.


EDIT: Oh, and a special "Frankenstein" project out of parts of 5 different IG vehicles...

That Frankenstein vehicle sounds like a good project to devote a bunch of “quarentime” to.

Okay, I'm sort of ashamed to say this but 2x land rover defenders that have been languishing on my desk for about 2 years.
I have:
2 Landrover WMIKs
2Landrover Snatch
3x Griffons
16x Light infantry Commandos
1x Little bird
3x light tanks
2x 4x4 armoured cars
1x knight armiger
1x rhino command vehicle
