Gather your Broom, cleaning products and pull up those sleeves.
It's time to paint 3 items/minis from your backlog to help clean up that pile of shame a little 😉 .

@haughty yarrow @fleet bane @inner granite here you go 😄

WOOOO

inner granite
#

Thanks 🙂

#

Autumn clean along for me 🙂

devout magnet
#

this is a good idea

peak raptor
#

Right It's funny to think how things are flipped across the world sometimes

#

I've got the toilet paper merchant. I suppose that would count as cleaning supplies.

#

I'll probably end up finishing minis that I never actually started for previous alongs.

peak raptor
#

I love that mini

grave pasture
#

Was gonna do that for the round bois along or whatever it was called.

inner granite
#

chonky paint along?

#

I tried to do something similar with the shamealong but with stricter rules.

grave pasture
#

chonky yea

Good reason to paint my necrons thumbsup

I'll join the cleaning

@broken basin here you go 🧹

#

I've a shelf full of pirate ladies that I've been putting off. Sign me up for some cleaning!

wicked flume
#

I am in!

#

does this apply to scale models? I don't think I would be able to complete three 1:35 tanks in two months

devout magnet
#

yes of course

warped oar
#

3 small or 1 big? Worked fine for the DnD one

devout magnet
#

DO NOT TRY TO GET OUT OF BACKLOG BUSTING MR

#

PAINT 3 MINIS IN YOUR BACKLOG THATS WHAT IT SAYS

wild pollen
#

maybe I'll do a gun and two crewmen or something

devout magnet
#

im just kidding 3 small or a big is fine

#

This is the plan for the SpringAlong 👀

IMG-20220125-WA0014.jpg
#

But don't tell anyone

gusty fjord
#

i'm supposed to receive the kickstarter i backed around march april

#

just 400 items to paint

#

including one that's bigger than any gw greater demons by a lot

devout magnet
#

also i tricked you by typing in this channel you are honor bound to be a member of the paintalong

devout magnet
#

can you do that in the time frame 😭😭

gusty fjord
#

depends on when i receive said item

#

kickstarter delivery is always a bit hazardous

warped oar
gusty fjord
#

knowing myself i won't be able to paint everything at all within a month lol

devout magnet
devout magnet
#

that would literally take me like a year lol

gusty fjord
#

i said items

#

it includes terrain bits and such on top of minis

#

of all kinds of sizes

warped oar
#

That's the scheme!

devout magnet
#

vv pretty!

warped oar
#

And sooo easy, just 2 kinds of gold, turquoise and lighter turquoise, and streaking grime

devout magnet
#

backlog will be BUSTED

I want in. Ive got so many minis

I wish we had named it the backlogUnwastedalong

For this gif only 🤣

@wicked flume welcome

I haven't done a pal since they changed the process. How do I sign up now?

Uuuh... I only buy when i am done painting

Then you don't have anything for the PAL... 😜

#

Welcome to the PAL 🤣

haughty yarrow
#

to be fair I started this paintalong

potent pendant
#

Yeah. It's a joke. I'll see myself to the sidelines

haughty yarrow
#

I thought it was funny, I was also saying that I am intimately familiar with the process of getting extra minis

rain epoch
#

Since I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas and how little time I have in January/February, this PAL fits perfectly. I'm in

tacit anvil
#

Lol damn this one is popular and such a good idea! We may need one of these quarterly 😂😂

sharp hare
#

I'm in! Will need to join a lot of paintalongs if BoardtoDeath is not part of 2023...

peak raptor
inner granite
#

Hopefully not identical.

#

The army along really fitted me. Board to death not so much.

peak raptor
#

I wasn't a part of it last year so I can't say if it's the same or not 😅 sorry

shy acorn
#

This is a very good idea, I'm definitely in

jovial gate
#

I'll probably have too much left to do by then in my pile of minis
So it's perfect for me
Might do 5 or 10 instead of 3 as i have a BIG pile

runic kiln
peak raptor
haughty yarrow
#

But you could always just paint them along with the other 3

#

I think I might be a tad short on backlog for this one 😇

#

Hmmm, I wonder if I find something in my #PileOfShame to join this 🤣

digital cedar
#

Ive only been in the hobby for a year but i definitely have a pile of shame

polar dagger
#

I don't have a pile of shame!

I have boxes and boxes of them.

I have a large plastic tub

Mine is just everywhere... got a secret cubourd in the livingroom. Shelf in the kitchen, and all of my couches.

#

I just have a full cupboard of boardgames...

#

My pile of shame has been decreasing little by little. But it is still stupidly massive. Best guess at least 2000 figures.

haughty yarrow
#

Rough estimate Ive got about 275 minis in my pile of shame

#

Are you allowed to paint minis you’ve already started on but never finished?

peak raptor
#

I think that might be more for the other later PAL

You know... i might paint my oldest mini for this. A mini i got long before i started painting minis

Ive got an eldrazi i think would be really fun to paint

I finished these three 28mm Goblins that have been bouncing around these boards since priming. I think they fit the Spring Cleaning Along if that is ok?

#

Also finished these three 32mm Robots for Spring Cleaning Along. Though they don’t count. :)

Staring at that picture this morning... I'm gonna mix up a lighter blue and use that on the teeth and claws. Don't like how they look now

haughty yarrow
#

You might also try going the other way and mixing a darker color

dire heart
#

Maybe super light blue on the teeth and a darker-than-the-skin blue for the claws?

I’m calling it a wrap here, I believe. Only two more to go poggers_dragon

I will most likely join with these. They seems easy enough to be done quickly (so for me, quickly is 4 weeks)

I’m struggling with my wizards… I decided to make them a team with like the same coloured clothing on, my first time ever doing a “squad” like this. It’s not very interesting, lol. The main guy has a squashed face which is awful 😰

Might need to take a break and work on something else for a bit

Okay I’ve had it with my wizards… and will swap one out for this female dwarf archer, if that’s permitted. This is for fun, and that tall wiz was not fun! His face was like baby face with a beard stuck on 😮

This was a mixed bag. I definitely learnt that I don’t like painting multiple figures with the same outfits (which was my original plan for some halfling wizards)!
