July-August 2009 Painting Competition Entry Thread
Category - Terrain Piece/Unit Centrepiece!


ENTRY RULES

- The category this month is - Terrain Piece/Unit Centrepiece!

- Please try and take a good, in focus, picture of anything used to add visual interest to the game - mini-dioramas used to bulk up a regiment, elaborate turn-counters, buildings, terrain etc.This is a fairly wide ranging topic as things like objective markers may also be entered in this category.

- We will only post one image per contestant, but montage images are fine, even recommended. See Therottinghost's tutorial here on how to make one of these.

- Please don't put your name on the image as voting is anonymous.

- To enter, please send your image fitting the category via PM to Demagorgon, Cazgar AND Scarfester. If you PM it to both of us which is recommended, mention that you are doing so, so we don't have to forward each PM to each other.

- Please include a caption in your PM so we can label them properly when the voting thread goes up!

- Keeping the images to a reasonable size would be appreciated.

- There is a maximum of 15 entries per month as that's how many we can fit in a poll. So it's first come first served in that respect. The 16th person to enter sadly won't get a place in the competition, but for anyone who misses a deadline then there's always the Open competition at the end of the year.

- Entering is open until the 20th of August.

- On the evening of the 20th August (around 8pm GMT) entering will close and we will open a poll with all the images recieved so voting can begin. Please note that anyone of slave status (less than 25 posts) will not be able to vote in the poll. See here for details. But you can PM a Verminlord (site admins Scarfester, Stinkhair and Bodacious) and they might be able to find a way to make your vote count. :)

- The competition may be opened earlier if we get all 15 entrants before the 20th, or later if we don't get enough entrants in time.

- See here for a list of all the painting competitions for the year.

Number of Entries received so far - 0/15

We will try update this tally as entries are recieved so you know how many places are still available. This is also the thread for competition discussion. Good luck! :)

---

PRIZE

The top three entrants gain a place in the Painting Competition Gallery of Fame which showcases all the beautifully painted competition winning models.

The first place winner also gets a certificate sent to them in the post. So upon being declared the overall winner, please PM Dema your address. She promises not to turn up on your doorstep clutching a bloodspattered envelope and grinning rattily.

Remember, entering the competition will earn you a point towards your painting rank, whether you win or not!

Hi,

I'm planning on building some terrain and objective markers for my 40K stuff so I'll enter. ^_^

I'm rubbish at terrain,so your likely to just get a pic of a toilet roll tube painted grey with an imperial aquilla stamped on. :P

Cheers,
Mike.

@ UndertheEarth: If it's the same one I'm thinking of it might be Scriv's. That one is most awesome and would definitely fit right in as an entry *hint hint.* This competition is a weird one, it could go either way - lots of entries or none. Lots of cool terrain pieces have been posted on the site but they might be from people not interested in entering or people who aren't active and so on. And I don't have anything to use as a filler entrant ... if it comes to it I'm nicking Ratmikey's idea :P

I think you'll find that i have copyrights on the toilet roll tube. ;)

I hope there are a lot of entries for this one because it should be a great source of inspiration for people like me who are generally clueless on how to make terrain(hence the toilet roll tube).

UtE-Will you be entering?

Cheers.

I've got three things to enter for this which is a little scarry, all fillers for clanrat or slave units, just have to decide which I'm putting in each of the next 3 comps?
That said I've a nice unit fopr the next without a filler & was going to finish my rat-thing for Dec. So if you get less than the max 15 entries can I put more in, as I'm bound to make the wrong choice!
Currently joint first in PRS points, may as well blow my trumpet whilst I've got one.

Hard on other entrants? I'ld be splitting the few votes I'm likely to get!
I'll ask my wife and a few friends snd they can decide.

I'm touched, but the tower won't be making it in time for this comp, sorry, I'm so awfully slow at painting I'd have to rush to make it in time for next year's terrain category competition. :P

But I think I might have another smaller, toilet roll tower lying around that might get in. :)

lol, we'd just have to mail Scriv the certificate now if that clock tower were to be entered :P.

i'd say that entering more than 1 entry is kinda unfair, i'd figured this'd be one of the comps that'd gain a lot of entrants cause it's such a wide catagory, and it gives you an unfair advantage over the others :P

i wanna enter this one, i'll have a look around, see if i've anything worth entering.
