Malathon? What is that? Well, it’s a German wordbash of “malen” (to paint) and “Marathon” (well, marathon) so it’s a paintathon.
Originally created by Tom of German Tabletop Magazine Magabotato the goal is to paint 42 miniatures within the month of July.
Why 42? Because a marathon is 42km long. (At least that is what I am told, I wouldn’t know)
I’m not sure what I will be painting this year but last year I dug up some old Chaos Space Marines and painted them.
I challange all users of BoW/oTT to take part!
Let’s paint some (more) minis… maybe even reduce the pile of shame? 😉
Here are some pictures of my results from last year.

I dig the concept but i’d be hard pushed to paint 42 in a year my mate. even doing it in miles would be a big ask for me. i like your bone and blue colour scheme .
I’m sure i painted last year over 200 minis. I always liked the idea of the malathon and people had sometimes a really hard time to do it. And maybe i can find 42 minis for july. But atm i have other things to. So keep me informed . Btw. i could cheat with FoW minis (5 per base so only 9 bases 😉 )
