September - October 2009 Painting Competition Entry Thread
Category - Single Skaven Regiment!


ENTRY RULES

- Please try and take a good, in focus, picture of a single Skaven regiment!
This can be any skaven unit as long as it meets the minimum standards to be useable in a game - ie, clanrat units must have a minimum of 20 models, rat ogres should have packmasters, gutter runners should be skirmishers, etc. They may be shown with characters and any command, as well as any unit attachments that the unit may have in-game, such as ratling guns. Skaven units may be taken from any skaven army list, such as the Storm of Chaos Eshin list, bubonic court or Hell Pit....


- 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 supposed to be anonymous! The image won't be used if it has your name on it.

- To enter, please send your image fitting the category via PM to Scarfester AND Cazgar. If you PM it to all 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 October.

- On the evening of the 20th October (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 - 2/15

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!

One month is gone guys and I still have no entries at all. :o

Please start thinking about entry soon, as you only have about 3 weeks left to enter. ;)

Thank you!

*Facepalms* Forgot all about this <_<

I'll start working on my entry immediately :P

Just to clarify, how many pictures do we need to take of the entry in question? Because I've seen some with 1 picture, some with pictures at all angles, some with one for each model, the list goes on...

Its one single picture!
But that single picture can be made up of multiple angled shots, that are made into one image.

I'm in for this, just waiting for a nice sunny day to take advantage of the natural light. Not sure which unit I'll use though. If I'm the only entry I swear I had nothing to do with it :ph43r: :lol:

:P

Rest assured, I should have my entry done by Sunday, if only to give you a bit of competition (not much, given my level of painting :P)

Any chance you'll say what you're doing for the competition?

Because sleeping was not on the priority list tonight I now have a unit mostly ready for entering.

This'll be my first time entering, does anyone have any suggestions in making a decent entry collage?

Truthfully, I just use the MS Paint tool to make collages. Just resize each image and move it around to fit it where you want. It doesn't look professional but I'm not bothered enough to learn to use photoshop or other tools.

Hope this helps. :D

Mutate - I think this round has been plagued by bad timing. Because of the new releases we'd have tons more entries had this category been in Nov-Dec. Good thing the next category is "Open", I forsee a lot of tasty new models being entered. B)

Same here! MSpaint is a wonderful tool ^_^

If you want to to be fancy, but don't want to buy photoshop, try GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/

Ooh, maybe I'll place in the top three by default again! (empties ice-cream tub packed with skaven and picks out the ones that aren't broken)

Btw, can we enter nightrunners,as they're ranked in the new codex ;)

Just re-read your initial post with the rules...

I saw 'skaven regiment' and replaced it with 'Skaven rank and file' :(

Anyway, until I can get a better picture of them I'll enter this (apologies if it's a little on the dark side):

Is there a size limit on the picture you can enter? Width, height, and/or kB.

Mutate: OK; I'll enter a pic, if it's too big, shoot me a PM or something.

Mutate 2: It's pretty stupid to tell people to PM non existing members, it's Chieftain Cazgar (or is it Chieftain_Cazgar?), not Cazgar. Anyway, I don't know if Caz got my PM or not, but Scarfester should have got it.
