Hello! And welcome to a little painting contest, as I've passed the fabulous arbitrary milestone of 300 pages and 8 years of Dakka.

I AM THE KNIGHT!

What do you have to do?

Paint something. Anything. Any system, any scale, mini, scenery, converted, unconverted... Anything.
But.
It must be somehow be knightly, or something to do with the night.

And what makes it a winner?
Well.
Whether you're a regular or a newcomer, give it your best. Rule of cool always trumps painting, in my book.

Give me a

So post your ideas, your WIPs, and send me final pics by NOVEMBER 14th (edit!)
And what would a contest be without a prize? Or indeed, a choice of prizes?

I wanted a BMG prize, because that's my niche, innit? But I wanted something that would be useful to everyone, so how about some classic 70s mobsters? Yup, Carmine Falcone, The Holiday Killer, and his crew of goombas - all yours. Or, because it's my new jam, if you'd prefer, a Dreadball team.

Count me in! I'm sure i'll find something suitable. A "Knightley" painting contest sounds very fitting for another NZ painter that I know...

This is my October work queue. Guy in the middle seems like he’d fit the bill. So I’ll toss my mediocre table-top painting into the ring. Someone needs to fill out the roster to make the winners look good by comparison!

(Not that they need much help, I’ve seen your guys' painting. It stands fine on it’s own merits.)

We'll, face is looking lovely already.

On a separate, and selfish note, please sell the contest shamelessly on your own blogs!

I’m just waiting for some bits to arrive for some VC Black/Blood Knights.
If all the bits arrive and I paint in time, then although I’m not the best they’re going in anyway

Well I guess this will be another contest I start and don’t finish, but I need a break from Ghar.

So best of multiple worlds. Batman/Knight/ Zombie Killer.


An hour of painting in before I left for work.


If I complete him before the deadline he may see his arch nemesis show up. Also some classic Python Knights might join the Frey in fighting zombies .
