24 hour paintathon

original thread ↗

Hey guys,

About to start my annual 24 hour paintathon! 24 hours, non stop painting!

In the next 24 hours, I am attempting to paint 80 gnoblars but to a high spec - detailed, highlighted, based etc.

I will report back with my progress every 6 hours or so  on the Gnoblar forum if any of you want to see how I get on. Follow the link below.

Once more unto the breach!

If you want to see how I did the last time I painted gnoblars in my annual paintathon (104 in 2011) follow this link:

Then tomorrow when I have finished, I may update the Gnoblar site (haven't done so for a year or more) or probably just sleep if the little one will let me.

Wish me luck!

I have a dream that one day Gnoblars will be judged on the content of their trinket bags and not by the size of their nose or ears. I have a dream!

I shall call him Randy and he shall be my pet.

Good luck you brave man

Time up!

It is really funny but the first time I did this, I went for numbers and got 104 infantry basically painted models done. Last year, I went for quality and got 10 archers and 20 swordsmen done for my empire army.

This year I stupidly tried to do both and reached a point about 4 am this morning where I realised that I would get the models to a point where I was ready to highlight and pick out details but was then too tired to even attempt it - Next year I will either highlight up basically painted models or prep models ready to highlight at a later date.


Final result - none of the gnobalrs are finished but all are now ready for the highlighting and detailing that I will do over the next couple of weeks. Not the result I was planning on but I am happy with hat I have achieved.

Pictures will follow once I find the lead to my camera.
