An Amendment
by John on Apr.03, 2010, under Main Stuff
Up late tonight, don’t know why. Anyway, just as a personal easing of the 50/2010 challenge, I’ve decided to allow fully-painted miniatures to stand in for completed games. For every completed unit or vehicle that I manage to have fully assembled, primed, painted, and detailed by the end of 2010, one game will be “credited” to the Clear list for the year. Right now my tally stands at one completed unit– the Space Marine exemplars I did up at the beginning of the year. Right now, based on what I have built out, I can exempt myself from ten more games with the Space Marines alone, and thirteen for the Imperial Guard (as bare-bones as it is, there’s a lot of models there). The Orks, however, are a special case. Their primary units have thirty models each, meaning that they’d have to count triple… except that would make them alone worth twenty-three games off the list. Instead I’ll just have the big units count double, bringing that down to a more manageable seventeen.
If I drop everything and just paint minis for the rest of the year, that gives me forty games “free”. Obviously I’m not going to do that, but having that as an option helps me to focus on that instead of fretting that I’m sacrificing another goal. At the very least, I still want to try to hit at least twenty games properly cleared this year.
