Apologies, I should have worded that differently. My intent was to draw attention to the rules, hence I wasn't sure if they had bee updated which might be why you had missed the relevant section.

Thanks, I understand you didn't mean anything by it and you have my apologies too. Looking back I was a bit quick on the draw to get offended and I shouldn't have blasted you in any case. Sorry mate.

Nerdy that all sounds grand! I have an idea I think but I haven't chosen a subject yet. Will require a little further musing... Is it 40k only? I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.

Casey, it seems now that there are so many great miniature companies out there it would be a shame to limit the models, I would prefer 40K models but I'm not going to ask people to buy anything especially for the comp and they can feel free to use what they have as long as it's 28mm scale :-)

ach... and there is me..hoping to get away with a giant riveted head....

Attention PLEASE !!

Competitors are required to :

1. PM the following people to confirm their subscription : nerdfest09, KingCracker, WhaleMusic360, and Yggdrasil ;

2. Post a picture (or more) of their undercoated entry in this very thread ; (undercoat can be any colour, white, black, grey... any single colour should do, as long as it's clear it's not a basecoat - if there are concerns, feel free to PM any of the aforementioned judges who will sort it out).

3. Entry can be anything, any system, any brand, but somewhere it MUST include, at least, a HUMAN - BARE - FACE (that should, ideally, be a focal point). Hence the theme of the competition : FACES ! (again, PM a judge if in doubt)



Good luck to everyone ,

Golden Nerd-judge Yggs, "the face-bane"

PM sent Nerdfest.

Hey Minus !

You are France's last (and only) bulwark against those English so-called "hobbyists"

So you'd better get to it, and win the trophy !!!

Pfft. The Patriotic and freedom-loving Hobbyists of 'Murica will see you all in the dust! Ya know. Cuz yer all terrorists or somethin

'Murica!

And that's how Damo's contest turns into World painting championship !

I have a project to finish first (see my P&M blog ^^ ), and then I start my entry. I hope it won't take too long before I start the assembly of my miniature.
I love the challenge, so I decided to paint a FEMALE model. 'cause female faces are so much more difficult to paint than men's ones.


Yup, french people can paint too. Or at least they try.

You're our champion, man !! (also, PM sent )

And FEMALE faces are eligible !!!

Am in the middle of a move at the moment which wont actually wrap up till about the 17thish so I cant place an order for my entry yet. If I can get moved in, get my order delivered in time AND find my brushes after the move I'll be in.

I'll do my best to win for the glory of Canada or a Timmies victory doughnut...

which ever is easier...

Wait... you want us to pump each other?

Ummm well I have started cracking on with my entry, and using the hands from this as inspiration:




I have taken this:



and when it gets here, this:



To make a Daemon of tzeentch!

...I have so far got to here:




...Not sure If we are meant to be putting up WIP shots, but what the heck!

Work in progress are more than fine! we gotta keep the excitement palpable in the thread! :-) and by the looks of things so far, you'll certainly meet the bare head criteria lol!

I'm in! Also, can I give you a standing ovation for the magazine remark regarding white dwarf. Just picture you on a stage, addressing a whole bunch of GW executives, and me. I'm the only one who stands up, but i'm damn impressed. Had me laughing for sure. I'll get some stuff going asap!

Yeh I haven't sent a pm yet but I'm 90% confirmed. I'll pm when I know I have a subject to paint. Actually, do I pm all 4 of you? That's how it reads.

Also are we tied to 28mm? I'm glad you said that because I was about to start something larger.

Well, 28mm scale casey, so any model within that range from any manufacturer. :-)

I haven't sent my confirmation PM either yet. Still considering.

No, you don't have to pm all 4 of us. What scale were you considering?

I was considering sculpting a bust at like 1/6 or something but that's cool. I'll put my thinking cap back on.

You could do that and have them fiddling with a 28mm scale model with a bare human head (although if the bust was 1/6 scale, the human wouldn't be 28mm scale to them... *brainsplode*)

Hey Nerdy, did you get the 2nd pm i sent you?

PM sent for my entry

Good thinking Flinty! I'll add it to the possibility pile.

Entry pm sent.
Is this guy an acceptable entry?

Doesn't he wear... a mask ?


(I started building my miniature )

Doh! On closer inspection of the head, it appears you are correct. Cue the quick head swap.

Damn Minus !!! Don't help the competitors !!!

(Ok, it's great you did... I would've otherwise )

There's no glory if there's no risk.
I don't fear any of them.
