I am participating in the IC podcast 2014 Hobby Challenge. The goal is to have a fully painted army by the end of the challenge. This year some changes were made which should help more people finish their armies.

The first part of the challenge requires a 1,000pt Zone Mortalis force, based on the Attacker, Defender or Combatant FOC.
The second part of the challenge has us fleshing out the force with another 1,000pt to meet the standard 40K FOC.

I completed a Chaos Demon army for the 2013 challenge:

This is going to be a huge challenge for me. There is a lot of infantry in this list between the berzerkers and the traitor guard forces.

Even though I have this list as my goal, the list units can be changed or altered at any time.

I'm looking forward to this challenge but I have a lot of construction to do before Feb 1st.

Wish me luck!!!

Thanks,
Tom
