So in celebration of summer and the new found time some people may find themselves with, I have decided to host a painting competition based entirely around Malifaux!

So here is the deal (and the rules)

Starting June 16th 2012 all participants will have exactly one month to prime, paint and base their model and then submit a picture before Midnight EST July 16th to be judged by myself and three lucky guest judges by score card for different qualities of the over all piece.

Our Judges are-
GitSplitta
Ifalna
And TheJoeyBerry

What needs to happen for you to be eligible-
*You need to announce your interest in being apart of the competition on the board
*You need to have the model unpainted (but may be primed) before starting the competition and must submit a picture of the model with a time stamp, either here on the board or by PM (if ya want to keep your model a secret)
* The model must be at least 67% Wyrd products (But your welcome to mix and match the different sets)
*The model should be painted entirely by you and since we have no better way we will be going with the honor system.
*You must submit a final photo of the finished model (with time stamp) onto the board before July 16th 2012

That is basically it when it comes to the rules!

Now I am not made of money but the winner of the competition will receive a personalized certificate of their accomplishment (not to mention we will make a big deal about it here on dakka) a character standard single infantry figure done by Ifalna, $5.00 from myself and will be announced by our very own JoeyBerry on her Malifaux Monday special following competition completion! (there may be more to come!)

I wish everyone the best of luck (keep the backstabbing down to a minimum) and i can not wait to see some epic models

Cutthroatcure

Sounds like someone is a Henchman

I do what I can, but in all honesty just want to see some more Malifaux models painted and here on Dakka, Hopefully this may speed up the process

Here is a pic of my model for the competition

Hope you get a great turnout!

The competition officially began today, all judges have been announced and a few surprise prizes have been added into the mix for more incentive!

Have at it people!

@Hai Hai Kirai Thank you for your interest!

Planning on getting some bayou gremlins; I am almost certainly in like flint.

Looks like a great competition with a star studded judge line up.

Only thing is a month to pick up and paint a mini seems a bit short notice.

We were thinking that since people did have a decent amount of time with summer that 1 month should be decent enough, That way people would be finished before school started back up in August.

I've had this Dead Justice Lady J sitting on my Table for some time now. I think I shall throw my hat into the ring with her.
ah hell... I'll have to get a pic of the rest of the Dead Justice crew since I've now convinced myself that I just can't do Lady J by herself.

Here's an example of my "tabletop" work. It's the only standard I paint for since I believe models are to be used not just stared at...

Oh and hi everyone!
That was my first ever post here at Dakka Dakka

Welcome to Dakka and we are glad that we could excite you and get ya interested in participating!

Just saw this. Wouldn't you know I just finished my Sonia and stalker crew. Might have to pick up a model just to do this.

Come one come all we say, I would love to see your entry!

Thanks for the "welcoming" and I certainly hope this isn't taboo but I'm posting 2 update pictures showing my work in progress. Though I do have a concern what will happen to this "contest" if no one really takes any interest other than the 2 or 3 people posting here?


Here is Lady Justice with base color's built up and skin more or less done though I believe I might add another tone to the skin to build up that Undead pallor.



And here is a weak group shot, since there is nothing to report about the Judge or Death Marshals since all I've managed to achieve on them so far is the skin/bone base color's.



and critique is welcomed though there is not much to go on.

I am, Rameses!

Might want to keep them hidden to make that final reveal all the better

I have no doubt about us having some people throwing their hats into the ring, I feel even if we have 6 people or 60 either way I think there will be some awesome models and some pretty sweet prices regardless..

I'll throw my hat in the ring! First time painting a model on my own, so if I don't get last place I'll be shocked, but it'll be good to get some feedback!

Picture of unpainted model holding up tomorrow's newspaper to follow on my day off.

No worries, make her a new one or go without, do anything that you feel will give your model some flavor. I am really happy to hear that your giving your first model a go, and I wish you the best of luck..Trust me you will get plenty of Feedback from our wonderful judges!

Sounds good, I'd love to give this a go. I've got my third Seamus model on order (obsessed? Me?), so as I've painted all my other Malifaux models I'll do him Will post a pic of him in his bare metal glory as soon as he arrives.

Looking Forward to it!~

Nope you can enter as late as ya want as long as the model is done by the deadline

Just make sure to enter your unpainted or based model and then send in your finL THING BEFORE DEADLINE

Is that Lord Chompy Bits in the Background or a Tyranid?

I'm going to say it's LORD CHOMPY BITS!

I'm voting Daemon Prince. LCB doesn't have ridges on his tail.

It's also on a 40k style base instead of the usual curved lip. I also remember LCB's legs being a bit bulkier and the cloak being a touch shorter as well as him having something at the end of his tail. Also it looks plastic.
