It's April, and Under The Couch has just turned 3!



...which means it must be time for another Shades of Red painting competition.


We're doing something slightly different this time around, and introducing a more focused theme, which we're calling: Flames of Wrath!

We're looking for miniatures themed around fire... holding a torch, bearing a flame motif on their shield or armour, made of fire, whatever you can come up with.

One winner will be chosen based on a combination of painting and theme, and will win their choice of a Warhammer 40K Battleforce, WHFB Battalion, or an Under The Couch custom miniature conversion of their own design.

As usual we also have a random prize, which this time around is a Warhammer 40K or WHFB squad box, or the 30th Anniversary White Dwarf miniature.

Full details can be found under the couch.

Just a quick bump, to point out we're over the halfway mark... 2 weeks left for entries.

One week left to get an entry in...

My submission is almost complete, just adding some final detail work before taking final photos.

After much deliberation, the scores from the judges have been compiled, and a random number drawn by the complex process of throwing a multi-sided random number generation device onto a flat, multi-purpose display and support surface (we threw a die onto a table) and so we have our winners...

So, congratulations to Adrian Williams, who won the 1st prize, and Nathan Hattersley, who scored the random prize!

You can see all of the entries in the gallery here.

Thanks to all who entered this year. It's always interesting to see what people do with a given theme. We're already looking at ideas for the next comp...

A big thanks also to Milsims for their continued support of the Shades of Red competitions.

To bad I missed this, It wouldve given me an excuse to model/paint my empire wizard on fire running away from skaven warpfire thrower idea. Oh well.
Happy late B-day underthecouch!
