The Nobz were a treat to paint, but because I magnetized them I had to paint a slew of arms to complete them. This was fine, but it took longer than I expected. The Deff Dread was a blast to paint, but for colors I went cheap. Most of the Dread is black, grey, or metallic. Splashes of color were mostly reserved for the cabling or details. However I again magnetized him so all the arms and most of the weapons had to be painted. Unfortunately timing this weekend got messed up by circumstances in Real Life that curtailed my painting time. He's almost done, and I can likely have him finished tonight. His body is all painted except for some minor detail work, attached to the legs, the engines are done and glued on, and really I just have some detail work on the weapons and arms to finish up. The Ork Boyz were cleaned but I never primered them, and thus didn't even start to paint them.
So while I failed the challenge, the challenge wasn't a failure. Thanks to this challenge I was able to refocus on 40K, refocus on what made the game fun for me, and refocus on getting my army painted. I failed at the task I set before myself, and failed my challenge. But the challenge didn't fail me and I'm more invigorated for 40K than ever before.
