Sign up will be open to the end of August (August 31st), after that participants will be assigned their projects. It is quite simple – just paint (or even paint and convert) a model to your best ability and in time send it to another member of Ulthuan.net assigned to you. Remember is not a painting competition, everyone can participate. That is the Christmas spirit after all, isn't it?
Based on past years' experience there are guidelines every participant agrees to follow by signing up.
THE GUIDELINES
1. Taking pics of the work in progress AND finished project.
Make sure you have the pics backed-up properly (hard disc crashes and memory card failures happen...). Unfortunately, sometimes the original gets lost in the Warp and the pics are all we have. And of course everyone will want to see the WIP pics!
2. Making regular updates on the project status.
Please check in at least once a month to let everyone know you're still around.
3. Letting us know if you have a problem finishing the project in time.
In case someone is not able to finish the project in time/at all, the sooner we learn of it, the better. - This will not exclude anyone from any future projects – we know things happen outside Ulthuan.
3. Keeping the receipt from your post office.
The post companies worldwide probably give you some kind of confirmation they received a package from you so in case the model doesn't arrive to its destination, you can send a scan of it to the person in charge of the SS project (by PM of course).
Note:
Earliest date for sending the project off will be set at the end of November (so we can wait for the giftee to confirm his continued presence and delay the sending in the case we do not have the confirmation from him/her to further minimize MIA problems.
Of course, even with all these precautions something can go wrong, so everyone entering the project should keep it in mind. But hopefully this will, as a whole, be even more enjoyable than last years' Santas. If any of you have a suggestion what more to do to make the project more enjoyable for everyone, please include it in your sign-up post. It will be heard.
From last years' Secret Santa we still have Il Maestro to deliver (I have seen some WIPs from him, butseems to get in the way). If he can confirm his continuing presence, I will include him in this year's run by default, delivering to Averlorn (if not, the blackist below will be updated). Everything else reached its destination last year.
If you want to be a Secret Santa this year, sign below. Let us know what army (armies) you collect, colour schemes, what you would particularly like to receive. Of course, Santa may still think there is something else you would like/deserve more.The Blacklist (2011-2013):

Edit: If you do not wish to post worldwide, tell us where you are able to post.
Sooo... sign in and have fun!
