It has always been a daunting task to paint a 1500pt 40k 2nd ed army from scratch, and the long wait to play a game with your army while you paint them makes it hard to keep motivated, to overcome these problems we are running a Slow Grow Painting Challenge. This challenge is not a painting competition, there will not be an award for the best painted, instead part of the challenge is to play small games of 40k 2nd ed with your army as it grows, with the first games starting at 300pts, then adding another 300pts ever two months until reaching a complete 1500pt army just before the next Sustained Fire annual game day.
