January - February 2011 Painting Competition Entry Thread
Category - Core/Troops!


ENTRY RULES

- Please try and take a good, in focus, picture of any unit/squad of a core unit from fantasy (any armybook), or any squad from the troops section of any codex. Each squad/unit must fullfill the minimum numbers requirement to count!
Of course larger and more impressive units will be looked on more favourably than small regiments/squads. As always conversions are more than welcome and in fact encouraged.
;)

- 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 keep the images to a sensible size. Giant scrolling pictures of doom(tm) are no fun! :P

- 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.

- Please give us a caption, for what you want the image to be titled!

- To enter, please send your image fitting the category via PM to Scarfester AND Sammy the Squid. 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!

- 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 February

- On the evening of the 20th February (around 8pm GMT) entry 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 Skaven Lord Vinsqueek, Bodacious and scrivener) 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.

Remember, entering the competition will earn you a point towards your painting rank (PRS system), whether you win or not!
The first 3 places will also get more PRS points as well. ;)

I suppose not. As long as they represent models from a GW book, so we can make sure you are fullfilling the minimum requirements for units/squads.

So...I got some questions about this

Are there any restrictions like "donīt post your entry-pic elsewhere"?
It doesnīt matter when I painted them right?
I canīt sign up now right? I first have to send my picture?

Thanks in advance^^

1 - Please don't post your image elsewhere, as it will ruin anonymity.
2 - No it doesn't matter when you painted them.
3 - You don't need to sign up for the painting competition. Just PM me the image of your entry and your title.

Hope that answers all questions well enough.

I have now changed the topic, so that people can now send their entries to myself AND Sammy the Squid.
This is because Cazgar has been away for a while and Sammy has returned. :)

That is all.

PS - Welcome back Sammy. ^_^
