Motivational Post

We all love to have a great moment, and usually when  we win something it happens, with that in mind I have been watching the paying forward contest that have been growing lately at:

Miniature  Wargame Conversions

This month is madness (the good kind of course) in full swing because every time I look back is a new prize.

I hope to win or that a lest someone I know wins something indeed.

so what are you waiting go there and maybe you can win something.

Im throwing the guanlet here in Guatemala.

OK. I have been out  of the hobby front for work reasons and  want to play  a lot, so I'm throwing the gauntlet to Hellboy and Reingard can you both send me the list of an army below or equal battle-force points that you can field painted by Sunday 12.

Since we are currently 3 players each other 2 times and helps to referee at least 2 games.

• If I recall correctly we can field 500pts from a battle force so I will allow that as main army and up to 250 points as sideboard.
• All games will be objective based with 5 objectives per game and tabling is allowed. 
• Points are  3 for wining 1 for a tie and 0 for losing .
• The referee has to annotate how many objectives has a player captured.
• Is allowed to play a different army per round played, if you have them.

I have one eldar warlock and  one tyranid warrior that I plan to offer to the player that wins more games and he takes home  his choice of miniature.

In the event that a  tie is outstanding at the end we can do one of the following:

• If time permits a 250 points game is played following the kill team rules in the battle missions book, winner takes the prize home.
• If not enough time then we sum the captured objectives to determine winner.

Ok that is, if you have a suggestion to do I'm all ears. And if you like it a lot the idea we can do more of  that to get more things in the table.


Update: I corrected some grammar for better reading.

Sponsoring the hobby.

 

In our local group we have so far advanced a lot, last year I was alone blogging about my personal journey collecting GW miniatures and now we are 3 players(Ashi is on California advancing his studies, and glenn hasn’t joined “hint”, “hint” )  that makes me happy but  and both Reingard and Hellboy have some minis that are lacking in the painting area, So I decided that some kind of action is in order to help them have painted armies that they are proud to play, for that I have some options but what i want is to encourage them to advance their hobby skills and that is something I want for the general benefit of the group..

With that in mind  I came up with the idea  to sponsor them to have fully painted armies sooner rather than later, so first turn is for Hellboy’s  Tyranid battle force that currently is  mostly unassembled except for one or two gaunts.

my first step in the sponsor program was to explain him how to do some batch painting and also issuing  him a challenge  that will grant his army 3 tyranid warriors and their swarm

the current conditions to get them are full price or:

• black coat all his minis and get an initial $10 discount
• Paint all bone parts and get another 10$  discount.
• Paint a base coat for the skin parts and get and get $10 a further discount.
• do all of the abode and get them free.

So if he plays his cards right he can end up with  a  nice looking army.

If that doesn't works then I will need to come up with something to entice him.

If you are still with me then I want to seed you with the idea to sponsor those new to the hobby , it doesn't has to be paint related it can be tactics or strategy or better yet all of the them. it will help us all in the end.

Next one is reingard that also has been a bit slow with his armies.
