Paint it or Punt it

I said yesterday that there be an addendum to the 4th goal of the pledge. Playing in a tournament isn’t something I’ve been particularly interested in in the past. I’m not a competitive player and having played against a couple of them in my brief 40k forays, it put me off. The point of the goal was that having a tournament would put a fire under me to paint more of my MESBG models. It still is part of the goals however…

Last year GW staffers took part in a challenge to get more of their MESBG hobby done and they released the Hobby Bingo document behind it. The community loved it and throughout the year it was cool to see people working on crossing off as many of the challenges as they could. I wasn’t in a headspace where I could take part but I kept a copy of the bingo square to do this year.

This week they announced that they are doing another for 2020 and it seems like a perfect time to jump on board with that version instead.

The post over at the Warhammer community can be found here.

You’ll see that one of the challenges is to go to an event so that covers number 4 of the hobby pledge!

The rest tie in nicely to my other pledge elements so I’m looking forward to taking part… It’s almost as though turning something into a game is a good motivator in our hobby ?

I know this is another text entry with no hobby but tomorrow will be Jyn Erso part 2
