Time for a new painting contest
April is the cruelest month, stirring dull roots with spring rain, mixing memory and desire. . .
I'm no poetry expert, but I'd say T.S. Elliot was trying to tell us to get our brushes out and do something, dammit!
OK, maybe not, but regardless its about time for another painting comp. I remember folks batting around a Mage painting showdown (during the last comp - how rude! ). I'm cool with that, or just about anything else really. The only stipulation that I would push is we continue to keep the comps limited to HEs only (or a reasonable facsimile thereof).
Any other preferences?

You know, I've been collecting longer than some of the younger posters here have been alive and I have hundreds and hundreds of unpainted models, and yet when my store announced a painting contest I still bought a new miniature just so I could paint it up. I dunno, something wrong there.Si'anelle of Avelorn wrote:(staring at thousands of model figures) 'I have nothing to paint!'

We don't have to keep it restrictive (i.e. mages only). This isn't TWF where you've got a widespread of interests and a bunch of jaded painters exhausted by constant contests
Hell, we can alternate big model/small model for all I care!
So if it increases participation, expanding the comp to hero models (US1-2) is fine by me.

Considering the last thing I painted was for your first contest, I'm in HSHP!
Maybe go for a single hero/mage from any race? Just for kicks.

Alright, sounds like we've got plenty of interest!
In the interest of maximizing participation, the competition will be for any US2 or less character - or in other words, one character, mounted or on foot. High Elf (or a reasonable proxy thereof) only.
The due date for a pic of your unpainted model will be April 19th, with the completed model due May 17th (?). That would give everyone a month past the first due date to complete their models.
Speak now if you have a serious objection any of the above!

Sounds good, go start a thread for the unpainted models!
