I love the idea and the concept of this contest, I so happen to have a interesting piece of terrian I would like to incorperate into this but it is already painted and not by me. Is it ok for me to pose my two duelists on this terrian, unpainted for WIP?

So you are only asking about a WIP picture?

Anything painted before the announcement date would not qualify for the contest.

So, just to make sure I understand, I should not use pre-painted terrain in this contest even the figures posed on it are unpainted?

That is correct. You should not use any pre painted pieces.

Like any painting contest, the entire piece is what is actually judged. You can paint the most awesome mini in the world, if the base is plain it is more than likely not going to win the contest.

a little bit of a stupid question but do they have to be in the middle of a duel or can they be about to start?

About to start would be fine.

Excellent, almost finshed!

How about if the contestant primed the prepainted stuff?

It would be acceptable to do a repaint.

Sorry but I have to withdraw my entry....

So we just send one e-mail containing the WiP and the finished product, right? Or do we send an email of the WiP first, then send WiP + finished product? Just wanted to make that clear.

One email with both would be excellent.

Just wondering:
can it also be a few secs "too late", like one of the combatants being ripped apart, with the outcome already certain?

dont think ill do it that way, but wanted to have asked.....

I have no issues with that. Mid duel would be just fine.

Out of interest, how many entries are there and how many are you expecting?

I'm not sure i've actually got time to participate sadly, just wondering really.

One more question!

for the WIP, I'm going to be building the terrain on the base the guys will be on so should I take WIP shot before I finish the terrain or after?

Oh yeah, forgot to ask....

I want to start painting one component but the other is unbuilt atm. Should i take the wip pics separately or wait till its all built?

Cheers

The point of the WIP pic is to cut down a little bit on the ease of just swiping a pic of a model off the Internet and claiming it as your own. So don't get too hung up on the details of your WIP pic. Just take some WIP pics while you're making it and send us one with your entry.

I should be on the list already but I am gonna cover my bases.

I do not have an official list. I won't really know who is all in the competition before I start receiving photos.

would a moment of tension between imperial guard ranks count as a duel? of course set moment would have weapons drawn and ready but it be more threats than fighting

I wouldn't object to it.

I think I'm actually going to give this a whirl. I only have a 2 weeks window to do it in due to work but it will give me a good excuse to paint two models I have been thinking about for a while now

I have received three entries so far.

Due to setbacks I hope I can get this finished in time!

At least you get an extra day with Leap Day. Good luck getting your project wrapped up.

Gonna have to back out, couldn't get behind a decent idea.

Hey, what are the chances of, as an additional "prize" for the winners, signature brag graphics for winners declaring themselves the winners (gold, silver, bronze I guess) of the Dakka Painting Champ? Perhaps this is something Major Tom would be willing to crank out, since he presumably has the templates for the site to match look & feel. Something small, like 200x50 or whatever.

Hi,

You stated it can be any models of any genre and any scale correct ? Can the models be sculpted from scratch( I.e. polymer clay, greenstuff, etc) ?

I have my idea but there are no models that exist for it so I've sculpted them completely from scratch. Is that acceptable?

Sure they can be scratch built. There's only about 4 days left though.

Great, plenty of time to finish =). THanks

Whats a dakka handle?
