Welcome to the February Painting Challenge. This month you have chosen.


Image


Rules

YOUR CHALLENGE ENTRY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE GAME LEGAL.

If you are unsure as to whether something will be eligible for entry, just post asking or PM me and I will let you know whether or not you may use it.
Eligible entry combinations
1. A Warband of 8 foot models must contain one hero or generic captain.
2.A Warband of 4 Mounted models must contain one hero or generic captain.
3. A Warband made up of heroes only. This option must contain at least 4 hero models.


You may mix and match from the three options. For example 4 foot models and 2 mounted is an acceptable entry as long as at least one hero is included. Any problems or concerns just pm me and i'll help you out.

1.To complete the challenge a miniature must be completed by February 28th

2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniatures you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniatures 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

3. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of February 28th 2014. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 8 photos of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from multiple angles.

4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.

Good luck to all

Back in after sitting a month out!

Here's my proof pic for my Desolation of Smaug themed Good hero warband - hopefully the brush will find its way to at least 4 of these guys this month!

Image

Proof pic was taken earlier today before the thread was up but you can see the date. Remarkably, this is actually the 3rd challenge I've entered Bofur into, he was entered into August's 'The Dwarf Holds' and November's 'Warbands' challenge! - hopefully he might finally get painted, 6 months after first planned!

Also, I was planning on adding Alfrid to this lot but found myself with some free painting time Thurs/Fri so took this proof pic too. Obivously he was started at the very end of Jan rather than in Feb so he might not count, maybe if I finish my entries by the 28th Feb? If he doesn't count, no worries, I'll just try and get 4 more done!

Image

Good luck all!

I would verily like to join in on this, Would the Ringwraiths qualify as a warband of heroes for this?

Proof pic - blurred, sorry.

Note, the guy on the left of the picture has been undercoated. Note also that I will be basing these chaps on 30mm Dark Age bases for use in my D&D campaigns.

@the Treveller - yes 4 ringwraiths would count as an all hero warband. Welcome to the challenge.

@SD - yes mate 8 fell wargs is fine buddy.

Once again, just in case I manage to finish these in time (February is short!):

Image

1 mounted and 6 infantry, so that should do.

Or, just in case I change my mind and pick some of the other militia, shirriffs or archers... :P

Aye, but very dangerous over small distances... :)
Very nice to see a very broad variety of potential entries. Then again, voting is probably going to be torture, given the amazing standards seen in the past year or so.

Here's my proof pic - 9 Warriors of Arnor, Captain, Standard Bearer, Arvedui and Malbeth.

Image

The front 3 Warriors have been part-painted (armour only - a few months ago) but I will be completely repainting them. I hope this is OK. Middle 3 are undercoated only and the rest completely unpainted.

I'm only aiming to get the Captain, Standard Bearer and 6 Warriors done but included the others as, if I get a good colour scheme going, I'll want to finish my whole Arnor Guard.

Good luck to all entries and I look forward to my first painting challenge here! :D

I'm not so sure about the ring on top but the chainmail banner on the uruks is a great idea!

I am planning on adding some Wild Wargs to my Angmar army so I thought I'd add them to the challenge as well, though do I need four or eight? I only have five at the moment because I plan on converting a Warg Chieftan and it will take two of the models...

Image

I can always pick up some more if they are considered foot troops...

I will endeavour to enter this month, but I don't know what just yet. I need to get my painting mojo back on, and the Uruk berserkers I have on the painting desk are half done already, so it'll be once i finish those I think.

For this months painting challenge, I'll be painting a warband of seven wood-elves and Legolas. I've been looking forward to get these guys done so that's what I'm going to do. (=
