WARFARE MINIATURES PAINTING COMPETITION

Post by barr7430 » Thu Sep 01, 2011 8:17 pm

We are running a painting competition focusing on the new WARFARE MINIATURES range!
The competition is open until DECEMBER 31 2011 in order to give people enough time to get their entries finished.

To enter, all you have to do is paint a regiment of WARFARE MINIATURES. 16 figures minimum, no max but ideally they could be up to 4 stands of 6 models if based for BLB. Alternatively they could be based however you like.

The units will be judged by myself, Clarence, David Imrie and Dave O'Brien.
The units can be painted in any style, to any standard. We'll be judging them 'as a unit'.

The prizes are I think quite nice:

1st Prize : Signed copy of Beneath the Lily Banners plus 8 packs of any WARFARE MINIATURES code combination the winner chooses. There will also be an additional 'specials' pack which will for now remain a mystery.

2nd Prize: 8 packs of any WARFARE MINIATURES code combination the winner chooses.

3rd Prize: A signed copy of Beneath the Lily Banners

4th Prize: 4 packs of WARFARE MINIATURES code combination the winner chooses.

5th Prize: Set of BLB order markers code as the winner chooses.



You do not need to send the units to us. All you need to do is post minimum 2 photos showing at least a front and rear view. Post them here. There is no limit to the number of entries from a single individual. You MUST have painted the models yourself to qualify.

Look forward to seeing the entries!

You may call it sarcasm........I, on the other hand, prefer to refer to it as a humorous observation!!! :-)

I have now had a couple of requests to postpone the final date for the competition which I am happy to do. Rather than finish in November it will run to the end of the Year. That will give painters a chance to get some units finished. Some people will also get a nice late Christmas pressie!

It's the thought of coming in last and having to game with you that put's them off :wink: so to encourage more people to take part I'll withdraw the last prize :lol:

Likely a silly question but how do we get the evidence to the judges? I ask this because if it relies on my non existent photographic skills I fear am going to be wargaming with Barry.

Thank you, though I have to warn you that I may well be far beyond help I have been told so before. I am however on my way to get the figures just need to collect some cash to pay for them first.
