Rules!Each person will have a primary post, on the first page of the thread to be, similar to Moc's, or mine in the original (see above link). This will allow easy following of all of your tale post throughout the year.
Please understand that this is not a task for the whimsicle! A little resolve is needed and that if you think they can't make it through 6-8 months, then you shouldn't bother signing up... Last time was meant to be a tale of 18 gamers, 3 lasted, with no more than 5 total getting to month 3. Pitiful for the huge amount of interest shown.
This is a motivational and educational thread, designed to get you to build and paint an army in under a year, not a contest.
Try and get a minimal legal force within the first 2 months (1 HQ and 2 Troop choices/1 hero, 2 core), then in month 3 take get a game with the army (if you can).
Batreps (with Pics, etc) are encouraged as soon as you possibly can.
Try to get the army rounded off to a better playing level (500pts or 750pts, etc) as soon as possible. Each month there after, try and repeat the process of a BatRep (with Pics) and trying to increase the army in size (750ish - 1000ish - 1250ish - 1500ish - 1700ish for the final goal -- (or 2K if your ambitious, or have time...)
The end point is up to you, its motivational, not competitive remember. If you want a 1500pt army, don't feel pressured to have to get it to 2000pts.
You can use old figures; but you have to show a pic of what they started the month like, and how they finished (so if you have them built, this could be a good way to get them all painted). Bases can be done anytime (as some guys - moc included - like to do up a whole buch at the end, instead of as each unit gets done)
Post progress 1-2 times a week, and make comments as often as you like... But your Main Post must be updated at least 1 time per month. At the beginning of each month when you post for your month, please link this to your primary post and vica versa.
Peaple should not post full size pics (as it bogs the thread) but use links to their pics or simply use Thumbnails that can have links to the larger pics as well.
No scores, or defulters though.. this is ment to be of inspiration and motivation.. not a pressure point!
If you have any questions, ask away! Otherwise form an orderly queue to sign up!
