I told the manager at the GW store that there are 51 models in my army.

He put me down for 100.

Time to expand your army then.

So far as I understand it, you’re not tied to My Pledge Or Nothing in terms of the rewards.

Me? I’m intending to blitz my LI tanks this week, leaving me clear to crack on with the Infantry.

From there, my Epic is all done, leaving me to begin the ascent of Mount Heresy, which grew over the weekend because I’m staggeringly irresponsible.

Using the 'one million' million thing to crack on with my own pile of shame. I'm not signing up or anything, just using as an extra reason to get on with it.

Current status:

10 Barrow Guard, from the Deathrattle army set
3 Saturnine Terminators from the HH3 launch box
8 Sturmwagen transports from the Imperium Battlegroup for Armoured Clash
1x Kyle the Red and White Christmas themed objective marker for Armoured Clash
1x Stark Imperium Sky Fortress for Dystopian Wars
2x Nuremburg airships for Dystopian Wars
12 x Imperium Scion Grenadiers Stands for Armoured clash

I've logged 12 completions with my local store, and I've got another 11 miniatures which are some level of WIP.

Also one ongoing WIP from before the challenge, to go with the 11 of those I've completed as well.

With my LI Armoured project completed about half an hour ago? Tomorrow I begin my 100 Model Pledge.

Got the four boxes of LI Astartes Infantry, which will get me to 80. Shouldn’t take me much more than a fortnight to thrash them out. Indeed, it typically takes me longer to prep and build these lads than to paint.

Initial goal for tomorrow is build and prep stage. At least get the 16 Contemptors assembled and on their bases, and the Missile Launcher on their dudes.

I do need to work out how many Apothecaries I can add to my Tactical bases. Yes the rules say X per Y. But, I’ve a bunch of long since painted Tactical bases without Apothecaries to factor into that.

**MarkNorfolk**

I had not known, or forgotten, the apothecaries can be spread through tactical stands. Must look into that.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

One per four. But, ten points which is fairly hefty.

I think I’ll go for one per eight. After all, I’m not sure I want more than the minimum, as I don’t think I get any benefit from doing so.

Not sure I’ve done my sums right though. Think I’ll need to unpack my existing infantry, arrange them into units, and get a clear visual on how many I want.

I asked was there an option of sending in pics to the local stores FB page as Im hours away from the shop and only make it in maybe twice a year. GW staff guy said no the painted models have to be brought in. So I said ok no problem and went back to browsing.

Guy behind me in queue asks exact same question and same guy tells him he can send photos to the FB page.

I legit did a double take.

Wow. I get that there is a lot of variation store to store, but that’s next level.

I think my store said pics are OK. But he seems to be big on trust and the honor system. If it gets people painting, that’s the goal.

**Dysartes**

Yeah, I just need to provide pre-undercoat pics alongside completed pics to confirm I've completed things for the challenge.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Well, due to Nurgle’s Blessing from last weekend? Nae Pub For Me this weekend.

Instead, going to my Hobby Grotto to thrash out my infantry. Bases this lunchtime I think. Could be on 80 models by the end of the week.
