The pre-season has begun! David at Spiderweb of History has taken the lead on burnishing the rules and started the collective dash of lemmings towards the mountains of lead. It's simply easier to copy and paste his informative post here:
Alright everybody, it's time for the 2nd Annual 6 Month Mountain Reduction and Painting Challenge
or 6MMRPC. We've changed up the time frame - it's going to run from
June 1, 2015 thru November 30, 2015. This avoids Christmas. There have
also been a few rules changes, and some exciting additions IN BOLD.
1. No purchasing of new miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker. You get
three jokers to use on a figure purchase. Could be a blister pack, an
ebay bundle, or a single figure...you can't splurge. The only exception
to this rule is if you need bitz or A FIGURE (Singular) to complete a
unit/warband etc.
1.1 - There is an opportunity to "earn" additional jokers. If you
complete an entire project (whole unit/army/warband etc.) with pictures
of starting, WIP, and completion, you earn yourself a Joker.
2. Gifts do not count against you. Holidays, birthdays etc. Also, if
you're given gift cards by your hobby illiterate family or friends, you
can without penalty use them on anything you want miniatures wise.
3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.
4. At least one hobby related blog post and/or Instagram update a week.
If you instagram, be sure to hashtag your pic with #6MMRPC
5. Zombtober will be part of the 6 month challenge so, Zombie related
stuff during October is ENCOURAGED. Other theme suggestions are
welcomed.
6. Anyone that wants to submit a before and after picture of a
miniature that they are proud of completing during the course of the
challenge to dmcffd@gmail.com will be entered into the running for a
gift certificate to a online wargaming store of their choice. Judging
will be by an un-biased person. Amount on the gift certificate will be
dictated by winners nationality but should work out to about $30 U.S. I
(Spiderweb of History) will not be eligible to win.
So spread the word folks, and lets make this an even better challenge than the last!
