Ready for the Challenge

I did a quick toll of the minis I was planning on painting for the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge. Doesn't look quite as bad as I feared, but still it's gonna be a busy 3 month period.

The pic is missing a whole divisions worth of ACW Union soldiers in 6mm from Baccus, but they won't need any prepping anyway so I didn't bother bringing them out. Also absent is a battalion of French line, a few Warhammer Chaos characters and a couple of minis that are going to go through heavy converting and need sculpting. If I get through this pile, I still have 6 battalions of 15mm Prussians lined up so I guess I won't be running out of things to paint. A bit ambitious, but then again you never exceed expectations without aiming way over your head.
