Heresy On-Line Painting Comp

[Nameless]

It's that time again folks. After many pm's and comments/questions regarding the possibility of having another Painting Contest I have finally decided to start them up again. Many of you know the debacle that was the last one and my serious anger that went down because of it but enough time has passed for me to let it go and realize that you guys do deserve these contests. There will be a couple of major changes to the way the Painting contests are run:


1) we will no longer be using the poll system to determine the winner. There is no way I am getting burned on that again, nor do I wish to spend the LARGE amount of work required to determine who is/is not cheating. Now voting will be done by the staff only. We will determine the winner amongst ourselves. This unfortunately means that the staff are unable to participate in our own contests.

2) I personally will post the entries, not the actual painters. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA PM TO ME AND ME ONLY. ANY ENTRY POSTED DIRECTLY INTO THE THREAD WILL BE DISQUALIFIED! Please make sure you understand this as there will be NO exceptions. This is being done to maintain as much anonymity as possible.



THEME: The theme for this particular contest will be Single Miniature to keep it simple. This means a marine, warcaster, jack, etc, something like that. No vehicles or scenery.

PRIZES:The winner will receive £50 to spend at the Wayland Games shop.

Now for the rules:

Heresy Online Painting Contest Rules

1 - Final mini pics only. Wips can go in the ongoing projects or Modelling and Painting section.

2 - Minis can be as fully converted/unconverted as desired.

3 - This Painting contest will last for a total of 3 months, ending on March 31st.

4 - Minis do not need to be newly painted for this. They may be ones you have already done or even displayed on the other forums. What mini you use is up to you. This includes manufacturer as well. This is not a GW only thing so feel free to throw in minis from Privateer, Rackham, etc.

5 - Only one entry person and the entry MUST be painted by that person.

6 - One mini per entry. Dioramas, squads, etc, are not allowed.

7 - One picture of the miniature held in front of your monitor with Heresy Online showing is required as proof that this is in fact your miniature. If you are unable to take the proof pic, your mini will be disqualified.

8 - ALL ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA PM TO ME AND ME ONLY. ANY ENTRY POSTED DIRECTLY INTO THE THREAD WILL BE DISQUALIFIED! Please make sure you understand this as there will be NO exceptions.

9 - DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS HERE IN THE THREAD!!! If you have a question you need answered, send me a private message. We want to keep the thread as uncluttered as possible to show of the minis.

10 - Also please send me direct links only not attachments and no more than 4 pics per entry, not including the proof pic. We do no need 15-20 pics of the same model.


Any mini is acceptable for this contest be it a single marine or a titan, there is no limitation to the entries as far as a theme goes. Also, keep in mind that this is a painting contest, not a conversion contest and as such it is the paint job we will be voting on, NOT the super bad ass conversion you have done. With all that said, good luck to all who wish to enter and let's get those models posted!
Games Workshop (the people who have all your money)
Also Games Workshop Stores.

I'm not a real fan of this kind of contest... just take the best miniature you have on the shelve and enter it...

Actually i've entered this one last couple years and i always put in a newly painted miniature, just seems a bit of a cop-out if i don't challenge yourself is fun sometimes.
