Even though I am a bit burnt out from the LPL, I'm planning on taking on another 'Army Painter' challenge this year. Those Darkest Africa miniatures aren't going to paint themselves

For a little background, here's the original thread started by HerbyF proposing the idea:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=55393.0

'Army Painters' is the most laid back 'challenge' you'll find here on the LAF- it is not a competition, no records are kept, we simply paint a 'unit' or group of roughly 5-30 figures each month, and post them on or around the 1st for sixth months- August 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. Each person maintains their own thread and labels it starting with '(AP 2017)' so that we can find each other's project. I will update this thread with participants and a link to their specific thread as they filter in

Who else is in?

[Quendil]

Never did finish my one last year but I think I shall do it again but maybe less ambitious.  Just to to decide what army to paint.

[OSHIROmodels]

I'm in and will sticky this at some point over the weekend 

cheers

[Wirelizard]

This might synch up nicely with my push to get Warlord English Civil War figures painted up!

No guarantees but I'll probably join in when this gets rolling in July/August.

[Dr. The Viking]

I am in! Famously I've never finished anything... I think!

I will have a big ole grumbly on what I'm painting for it.

[LeadAsbestos]

I'm in.

[Lowtardog]

Yup Painting Romano British so will spur me on Ps bucking the trend by actually going to finish one!

[dbsubashi]

I'll give this another try!

[rumacara]

Last year i gave up.
This year i´m in. I need motivation so i expect some help from you all.
I just dont know what to paint...

[Plynkes]

I think I'll give this one a go. A last resort to try and get myself painting before I give up forever and throw everything into a skip. Nothing else has worked, maybe this will. 

[Dolmot]

This is crazy talk but...maybe! I have at least two army projects, which haven't got anywhere over the last few years, even though they should have. To my best knowledge, the core parts of my life are now considerably more stable than, say, last year. Now the biggest conundrum is obviously choosing between the candidate projects. (And maybe rethinking whether this is a brilliant or stupid idea after all. ) Count me...on the doorstep?

[boneio]

I am always 'too busy' to paint but what I actually need is the social motivation aspect I.e. Encouragement.

I'm not near as good a painter as almost everyone here but in the interests of actually getting some stuff finished, count me in.

[levied troop]

I do need a deadline to motivate me and I have just the 'army' sitting in my paint room - a Garibaldi red shirt force for Sharp Practice.  Count me in.

 This should teach me to get seduced by shiny things on LAF.

[Vanvlak]

Two weeks after LPL and saying never again, I'm in.
Something 40k, probably, seeing I have a pile of stuff needing done and enjoying the 8th ed buzz.

Something 40k, probably, seeing I have a pile of stuff needing done and enjoying the 8th ed buzz.

I'm debating on what I want to do- I really ought to do a 40K army (I have several on the burner- Adeptus Arbites, Imperial Navy, Genesteal Cult, and Sisters of Battle) but I traditionally knock out a faction of my long-running Darkest Africa project.
