I think that is a brilliant showcase for the projects system and a great motivator for anyone.

The FoW challenge really highlighted that an army can be broken down into small bits that are manageable.

It probably would help motivate others to get an army started, because if you can show that an army really is a series of small steps the task is less intimidating.

The step size would depend on the gamesystem, but I think that too would help people get their armies started & finished.
We may need help to find an appropiate step size for each game system, but that isn’t essential as you can opt to do it one unit per month/week/day.

Maybe all we need is a tag to make such projects easier to find ?
Call it ‘armies on parade’ or something and add it to the list that has ’40k Hobby weekend’.
The deadline may be trickier to manage using tags, but it needs to be optional simply because not everyone wants to add the pressure that comes with it.

I want to refocus my own projects to something similar by next year.
This may be the one thing that could help me set my own pace, which has been all over the place so far.

@torros I think that part of the challenge is finding a way to break down an army list into small chunks that make the goal feel more like something you could do.

You can always choose to do less if you find yourself getting swamped by real life.

It’s about finding a speed that works and making the building & painting an army feel less like climbing mount Doom.

Id be up for it, i’ve toyed with the idea of making an armies on parade display before. Have been jealous of the Stalingrad Russian set up I see in the cabinet at my local games store every time I see it.
