This week passed away really fast for me so I am very happy to see that many of the participants continue making a very good progress on their respective projects! 

We are getting close to the final update and the end of this year's Monster March challenge. It means that many of the participants have completed their projects already, and some continue with their stretch goals. In general, models are often look almost finished and it is fantastic to see all the accomplishments already. 

Well done everyone! Let's see what did everyone paint last week!

Greetings and welcome to the 6th edition of Monster March!

Although 1st of March is on Tuesday, I think it is a good idea to start the painting challenge already! It was fantastic to receive a great response from the participants, both new and returning! Thank you all already! Every year your enthusiasm and creativity make the challenge absolute blast and a pleasure to host!

Monster March 6 - Introduction

 

Greetings!

It seems that the time of the year when all sorts of monsters or simply big models would demand your attention is approaching fast! If you have not started thinking about your next BIG project yet, it is a perfect moment to do so.

Let's start, however, with a brief introduction of the Monster March. In general, it is a painting challenge, where you have a month of March to assemble and paint your chosen model or models. The main theme is, as the name suggests, a big model. Perhaps something monstrous for your fantasy collection/army? Or maybe something titanic for your Sci-Fi host? 

The main goal, however, is to use the opportunity to try and complete painting of whatever you like. And share the progress with your fellow participants. If you would like to get a better idea what kind of contributions and spectrum of models were chosen in the past challenges, here are the links to the posts from the previous years:

I hope you are interested in participating! The way in which you can join and some more details regarding the challenge are described below:

Game 161 - Dwarfs - 2021/01/30

 

Greetings!

I was very nicely surprised when after I posted about my very first game in Play By Email, I learned that quite a number of players use this way. I also receive a few generous offers to play this way, so I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who reached out! I will definitely find time to organize a game against everyone who contacted me. 

In the meantime, a sort of rematch was scheduled already. This time, however, Erasmus decided to use another force of his - The Dwarfs of the Fool's Hold! You should check how the army looks like in real life and read their story too!

It was thus another classic match up, with another battle to be added to the long saga of Elves vs Dwarfs conflict. Here are the details of the army Erasmus brought to our 2000 points per side game:
