~ The UnderEmpire MiniSwap 2012 ~

I was very surprised by the number of sign ups on the other thread, so thank you all for making this a success already!

After much thinking, randomizing and hat drawing I have come up with the list below.. It should make everyone happy and accommodate all the shipping preferences listed in the sign-up process.

Please send your mini to the person below you on the list (arrange address sharing via PM together), where the last person sends their mini to the first. It's one big happy loop see? :D

Example: WillQueek sends a model to Little Wolf, who sends a model to Ghaznub, and so on and on. Once they are done painting the loop reverses and the models go back up.

The list of loops!

Rageaholic (Europe) - Prefers models as they arrive, but FineCast needs to be clean and fixed

Veristical Blaze (Europe) - Prefers models unassembled, cleaned or uncleaned, FineCast only if it has no defects

Thawzz13 (Europe) - Prefers models assembled, FineCast only if it has no defects

WillQueek (Europe) - Prefers models unassembled but won't remove mould lines, FineCast only if it has no defects

Little Wolf (Europe) - Prefers models unassembled, but will accept assembled, FineCast is welcome

Ghaznub (Europe) - Prefers models unassembled and uncleaned, no FineCast

ActionJack (Americas) - Prefers models unassembled and uncleaned, FineCast only if it has no defects

skwervo (Americas) - Has no preference, FineCast is okay

HaleysRedComet (Americas) - Prefers models like whatever, FineCast is fine too

razaan (Americas) - Has no preference, FineCast is okay

Helkin the Infectious (Americas) - Prefers models assembled or unassembled, cleaned or uncleaned, FineCast only if it has no defects

Scarecrow (Americas) - Prefers models unassembled or assembled but cleaned, Finecast only if it has no defects

Clanlord Trask (Australasia) - Prefers models however the sender wants to send them, even FineCast is okay

Bounty (Americas) - Prefers models assembled or unassembled but cleaned, FineCast only if it has no defects

Kimzi (Europe) - Prefers models unassembeled and uncleaned, no FineCast

hannanibal (Europe) - Prefers models unassembled and uncleaned, no FineCast

Git-Git (Europe) - Prefers models in any condition (extra work of cleaning and assembling comes at owner's risk), FineCast is welcome

greatwhitezulu (Australasia) - Prefers models assembled or unassembled, cleaned or uncleaned, but no FineCast


The event will close on September the 13th, 2012. That means you have three entire months to paint up the mini sent to you and return it. Even I can manage that. Any mini that has not been returned to its owner before that date will not make it into the SkavenBlight Gazette. :c

Once your mini has returned please take a picture and post it in this thread to share the results with everyone. :3
Also please take a picture of your work before sending it off just in case the mini doesn't make it back, those pictures can be used in the SkavenBlight article.


Here are the rules once again for those who are as forgetful as I am.

1) Monstrous infantry sized models or smaller only. Unless you got lucky and arranged otherwise with your nice painter.
2) The time limit for this event will be three months. If you complete your mini way before that please send it back to its owner asap.
Once all the minis have safely returned home the event will be closed. If you fail to complete your mini within the three months time limit please send it back to its owner anyway, unless you have made special arrangements together.
3) By participating in this event you risk your paintjob being featured in the next issue of the SkavenBlight Gazette. So better make it a good one and finish in time!
Only entries completed within the time limit will make it into this prestigious e-zine.
4) By participating you place the fate of your mini in someone else's hands. You can ask for specific colour schemes/styles/bases but the painter is in no way obligated to do as you demand. Beware of rainbow squigs.
5) The Under Empire and the organizers of this event can not be held responsible for any lost and/or damaged minis. That's the mail service.
6) You are to handle the contacting of your selected painter yourself via PM or otherwise. If you are under 18 years of age please make sure you have your parents' permission to share your name and home address with strange rats all over the world before you sign up.
7) You will pay for the shipping of your mini yourself. Once the mini is painted the painter will pay for the shipping back.
Please note this means that everyone will end up paying shipping costs twice.
8) If you steal the mini sent to you you are a meanie and will be forever remembered as a meanie. So don't be a meanie.

Happy swapping!

Is there a certain date to get you're model off? It would be kinda silly of the model gets send off after two months, arrives a week later in far-far-away and still needs to be painted and send back.

Also, what happens if for example Hannibal falls inactive, leaving him without internet connection?

Sent my PM off to Trask. Still waiting for one from Helkin.
TRADE
I'm looking for Dark Eldar to convert into DE. Also looking for bretonnia lances and halberds. If anyone has any they would be interested in trading PM me and we can work something out.


"And, most vivid of all, there was the dramatic epic of the rats––the scampering army of obscene vermin which had burst forth from the castle three months after the tragedy that doomed it to desertion––the lean, filthy, ravenous army which had swept all before it and devoured fowl, cats, dogs, hogs, sheep and even two hapless human beings before its fury was spent. Around that unforgettable rodent army a whole separate cycle of myths revolves, for it scattered among the village homes and brought curses and horrors in its train."

Awesome! Everyone is getting busy and involved, this is so cool!

@WillQueek
"Is there a certain date to get your model off? It would be kinda silly of the model gets sent off after two months, arrives a week later in far-far-away and still needs to be painted and sent back."
Common sense would say that as soon as possible is the best option here. If the models do arrive late then they won't make it into the Gazette but no one is stopping anyone from still finishing them and sending them back later.

"Also, what happens if for example hannanibal falls inactive, leaving him without internet connection?"
Then we wait until their internet is restored. The time limit set is purely for the SkavenBlight Gazette article. I can't exactly punish people for not being online or sending their minis in time so I am not sure what you expect me to say here.

This is a fun event for the lols of it, not a school assignment with a set deadline. :D
And I just sent off my package, yayay!
For those wondering about shipping, it cost me 85 eurocents.

I fully randomised the system so I guess I just got lucky I ended up with a friend. Tbh, I would have been happier with someone who I didn't know, then I would have no idea what to expect! Ah well, now I got to spy on hannanibals house in Google map so everything is good. :D
