W40K - Painting Campaign Blog

Hope that title is appropriate... feel free to offer any changes.
Ok, this thread is all about painting your army. If you live close enough to some of the participants, then like our little group of three so far, you can also play a campaign/games with the painted models at the target stages.
That is the very brief and rough outline of what were trying to do here... But it is by no means finalised, and I think the first part of the thread should be about trying to firm up how it will work.
My initial thoughts on that were:
1. We agree the targets and timescales.
I'll propose the following for that end.
1st period (1 month from start) - 500 points (1 hq and 2-3 troops, then any points left over, 0-1 of the other choices)
2nd period (2 months from start) - 1000 points (1-2 hq and 2-4 troops, then 0-2 of the other slots)
3rd period (3 months from start) - 1500 points (normal FoC)
4th period (4 months from start) - 2000 points (normal FoC incl allies if you want to paint something else)
2. We show the models we are using before we start painting. This will mean we all do a list and then post it up for everyone to see, with pictures of unpainted models. Thus proving we didn't just use models we had painted already, etc.
3. We can have breaks of a week between periods to sort out next list and do other stuff. I suggest minimum 1 week.
4. Anyone who can play together arranges games in the breaks and does battle reports, pictures, results and progresses any campaign story.
That's about as far as I've thought it through up to now. The campaign bit, for anyone able to game, needs work on it also... This is were I sit down and listen, as I have very little experience.
