Is there a minimum number of models that need to be done for the unit as I am quite slow. So will likely only get 5 done in that time.

This question has already been asked, try reading the thread before asking another question like that please. But it dose say a unit of Wildriders or Sisters of Thorn.

I'll see if I can't get my unit done by the end of June or whenever it is.

Love my new wild riders.

I have a unit of "The sisters of Thorn" that I am working on.
If that qualifies I will enter them
The most fragile unit I have ever built.
No expectations here other than being a participant.

I really hope i can Get it dine before then, but GW droppes the ball on my delivery. I didnt Get my preordered stuff until the very end of May. On the bright side they did send a replacement order since we assumed the first shipment lost. So now I got double of everything. Leaves me with 4! Treeman boxes 2 araloths (conversions here we go). 4 boxes of WWR/EG, 2 waystalkers, 2 shadow dancers and 4 boxes of sisters/riders. All in all a very sweet deal at half prize :D

Anyway. I really hope to get 5 sisters done in time...

Yeah these guys are tough to assemble and paint, so very fragile and the detail is tiny. Hopefully I should make it in time :smoke:

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to sit this one out. Too much stuff going on at home and work to be painting up models. I'll try for next months challenge!

Good luck

I've ended the wild raiders, but I won't be able to finish the sisters (I've painted the deers very nicely by the way).

If it's possible I'll send to you detailed pictures of the wild raiders and pictures of the sister's deers and then you can determine if they're in or out fo the challenge.

Yes you can send me the pictures if you like but the idea is to complete the whole model(s). Anyone can enter what they like as ultimately it's up the the community to vote for the winner, the rules/guidelines in the first post should be reflected in the entry's and people who vote should consider these before making their choice. It's really not that complicated ?
