#6MMPC 2023 Mid May Check In

I actually started this back in April, but in an attempt to actually keep up with Rule 4, I thought maybe posting about it here will help keep me motivated and on track.

Since it's been a while, here are the rules from the facebook group.

THE 6 Month Challenge runs from 01APR2023 to 01OCT2023.
1. No purchasing of new miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker. You get three jokers to use on a figure purchase. Could be a blister pack, an ebay bundle, or a single figure...you can't splurge. The only exception to this rule is if you need bitz or A FIGURE (Singular) to complete a unit/warband etc.
1.1 - There is an opportunity to "earn" additional jokers. If you complete an entire project (whole unit/army/warband etc.) with pictures of starting, WIP, and completion, you earn yourself a Joker.
2. Gifts do not count against you. Holidays, birthdays etc. Also, if you're given gift cards by your hobby illiterate family or friends, you can without penalty use them on anything you want miniatures wise.
3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.
4. At least one hobby related blog post/Facebook Post in this group and/or Instagram update a week. If you use instagram, be sure to hashtag your pic with #6MMRPC
5. Zombtober or Orktober will be part of the 6 month challenge so Zombie or Ork related stuff during October is ENCOURAGED. Other theme suggestions are welcomed.
6. If you are participating, I will be pinning a post for everyone to put a comment in to keep a tally of painted figures and jokers used/earned. Please just edit your post as we go, don’t continue to add more.

And this is where things currently stand. Since the start of the challenge I have painted 9 minis, used 0 jokers, 1 gift card, and currently I am actively working on the minis in the pic below. My goal is to have them all done by the end of the month.
