Guys,
after month after month of failed challenges I have decided that I am going to see if the motivation of someone else picking my monthly challenge will actually inspire me to get it done!

There are 10 options to choose from, some started some not but all in need of getting painted! One vote each and five days to get them in...

so, what do you think? Which of my vast array of failed challenges should actually get painted? You decide

G_H
River trolls defo buddy!  Make more of those lovely icy themed fellas!

Kind regards Zolas.
Stay Frosty

After checking out them trolls, I'm definitely going to have to throw my vote in for them.

Trolls.
They look awesome, should be fun enough to keep you motivated and easy enough to complete :)

Do an easy, small one, just to give you the inspiration and morale boost to get your other projects done.

I picked the two shamans, since that should be enough for one challenge that'll get you going! After that, if I could pick a second one for your "bonus" challenge, I'd probably go with the 20 arrer boyz; again, something small that should be quick and easy to focus on.
34 Gnobs! Over 3 Packs of Trappers! Woot!
Gibblet, Nibblet, Crunchybit, and Snorti! (For rules clarification on dwarf Snorri banner )

New book WLD: 21/10/3 - Haven't kept up on this! Solid win, followed by a good training-game tie!

I like the idea of the shamen, I have some great ideas for these guys. Having said that, I personally voted for the squig hoppers (yeh, I know I voted on my own poll; I had to! I locked it so I couldn't actually see what everyone was voting for unless I voted myself. What a tool!  :oops: ).

I just fancied a crack (pun definitely intended) at painting the guy with his butt hanging out!

River trolls looks like the choice of champions though...which would have been right on the bottom of my list of stuff to do. That's why I did this I guess; the people have spoken. If I choose it wont get done, if you do then I am guessing it will.

Well, that you all for voting.

Ice River Trolls (or Yhetee's) won out so that's what I will do.
Best get on with them then.

Can't wait to see the models painted. River Trolls are gorgeous models, despite looking relatively hideous :P One of the reasons why I've been thinking of the hordes of Goblins that I've got unpainted. A box or two of Trolls just might do the trick to get me motivated to painting loads of Night Goblins :D
