Alright, alright, alright! Here we are! For the past two years or so, I have been lending my talents to the Ordo Malleus, fighting demons on far away worlds! But now, my tenure with the Inquisition has come to an end. It cost me most of my miniatures collection, but alas! That is but a small price to pay for the peace of mankind.

To my great amazement, some kind soul has kept the lights on here at the Journal while I was away! I don’t know who to thank, but THANKS DUDE! and Cowabunga! If it weren’t for you, this would not be happening. I don’t know if it is incredible foresight, belief or just plain dumbness that made you do it, but thanks all the same!

Now! Lets get back to the scheduled programme!

THE EMPEROR PROTECTS — BUT NOT THE UNPAINTED.

You!
Yes! you!
The war is old.
Your army is not painted.

Guess who’s back!?!  The 40K 2nd Edition Army Challenge VII is!

This time it will be run as a conspiration between https://wachtmeisterspatrol.com/ and https://cowabungajournal.com/ 

What is it? A six-month painting campaign where you commit an army and paint it in monthly chunks.
You report progress. You stay focused. You finish what you started.

Not perfection.
Not speed.
Completion.

Unpainted lead is a heresy.
Grey plastic serves no master.
This challenge exists to end both.

– Commit a 2nd edition–era army
– Paint it month by month

Limited seats at the table. No drama. No excuses. Just progress. All fun.

PAINT. YOUR. ARMY.
