I've put in a measly target of 300 points and I'll be VERY pleased if I reach it. Can't see it myself but you never know???
Luckily I've still got a few units under-coated from the end of the last Challenge, (yeh I know?) so I'm afraid I'm gonna bore you all to tears with more NYW units!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

The Fortnight Theme Bonus Rounds
Same as last year, we will have a series of 'Fortnight Theme Bonus Rounds'. Each 'Theme Bonus Round' asks Challengers to enter a submission that illustrates a particular theme. The Bonus Rounds are not mandatory, they are just a little bit of fun to pace out the the Challenge and allow people to gain decent number of points through vignettes and single figures.
Those Challengers who manage to submit an entry for a 'Fortnight Theme Bonus Round' will get an extra 50 points on top of the regular entry tally. No scales less than 15mm will be eligible for the Theme Bonus Rounds but they can be of a historical or fictional subject.
The Bonus Themes along with their submission deadlines are:
December 14: Cold
December 28: Mount(s) & Rider(s)
January 11: Victorian
January 25: Myth
February 8: Hot
February 22: Comedic
March 8: Anti-Hero
The theme submissions are to be sent in by 12:01 am (CST) on the specified date (Sundays for all).
For each bonus round I'll post a poll listing all the round's entries so visitors can vote for their favourite.

300 points? From The Universal Most Imperious High King of Sandbagging? ;)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Ray :)
Don't believe a word he says! You know what he's like...
DeleteWhat? Me?
DeleteUndercoating your minis for this year's Challenge during last years competition!?! Now that IS forward planning Ray :-) Good luck with the painting.
ReplyDeleteCheers Balx! Maybe you're right and it was my secret plan all along???
DeleteWork on that Donnybrook collection! Good luck, Ray.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan Alex!!
DeleteGood luck Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Rodger!
DeleteBest of luck with this Ray.
ReplyDeleteI need all the luck I can get!
DeleteGood Luck!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon.
DeleteBest of British Ray.
ReplyDeleteTa very much Paul!
DeleteGood luck with it Ray, I sure you can squeeze out 300.
ReplyDeleteJohn
Fingers crossed!
DeleteOh you'll manage Ray, no doubt there! Also you won't bore us with the NYW stuff because your posts are also a lot about unit and war history which make them interesting for everybody to read so keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander, I shall try and keep 'em coming!
DeleteGood, coz you're gonna be!
ReplyDeleteGood luck - looking forward to following this :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bonus round idea - not sure I'd have the wit or wisdom to think around that...
The bonus rounds are pretty hard this year, i'm gonna struggle with them.
DeleteYou're lagging behind and living in the past. Stop resting on your laurels and get the paint brush busy. You want Fran to beat you?
ReplyDeleteSo that's a kick in the shins for Clint then?
DeleteYou'll be right mate. Three hundred points is nothing for you.Hopefully the quality of the barracking won't suffer though . . .
ReplyDeleteThere's no chance of that Gary!!
DeleteI'm not razzing you this year Ray as I know you're life is busy. Three hundred points is a good goal and I think you'll exceed that. Not due to sandbagging but due to finding time and getting excited about the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Ray!
Anne being nice to me?? What the hell's going on???
DeleteI don't think that's really Anne.
Delete300 Points ? This seems a very tawdry effort on your part, I'm left wondering what Fran will say about this, but good luck with your "challenge".
ReplyDeleteTawdry effort indeed, we're on day 5 as I type and I've glanced at a few figures, infact I did even pick one up yesterday, then put it down again quickly.......
DeleteGood luck dude!
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob....I need it!
DeleteWell I'm just pleased you're in the challenge - go for it my good man! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy Thank you Sir M!
DeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteI'll try............
Delete300 points?
ReplyDeleteYou missed a number in front or behind that, didn't you? ;-)
Anway good luck and enjoy it!
You're right Stefan I did miss a number, it should have read 0300.
DeleteGood luck mate, from a fellow lunatic.
ReplyDeleteAll hail the Loonies!!!
DeleteI don't know the first thing about the scoring so I'll just say - Good Luck!! With the challenge and your kickstarter.
ReplyDeleteCheers Elsie!!
