I think you should stay with a simple theme like you did with this one. If you make it bigger or complicated fewer people will participate (and there is nothing more boring than a three-person competition).

Seconded. Single infantry sized miniture seems to be the best option for us I think. It does leave loads of scope open though - heavy weapon teams, special weapon troopers, character models, advisors, special characters, etc.
Still over excited about this competition though at the moment - can't wait to see how the results fell...

Great work all around, it is really good to see such quality. I wish my painting was up to par with some of those!

Marbo can still be found here if you scroll down: www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat1490651&rootCatGameStyle=I don't know why anyone would want that model though as it is, quite simply, horrible. Converting your own is definitely the way to go. And I am going to be sad if there is a "Golden Marbo" contest, because I converted and completely painted mine quite some time ago, and with no WIP shots.

I'm sure we could leave you a loophole, eh Reds?

Yeah it would, you only get better at painting with practice. The others would have more practice than you.

Edit: But what I meant was that it wouldn't be fair to others because I don't have any WIP shots of my Marbo, just shots of the finished product, and not because of my skills, such as they are, at painting.

It's a good suggestion, although maybe not everyone would want a Marbo (dont know why....) already have one (as stated) or might not feel comfortable converting one. I've had a couple of ideas, although I will share them once the voting has timed out, as I want the minis to be centre of attention for the time being

talking of which, only 3 days left to go - and 40+ votes cast already. Pretty good turn out really (though it would be nice to have some more...)

Sergeant could be cool. Or maybe 'officer'?

Sergeant, but we have to make a rule that he can't be one of the Special Character Sergeants.

I did not vote. You are all winners! Plus I feel inadequate to judge considering my lack of talent and wouldn't know a good mini from bad.
For the next contest how about asking the participants what THEY want to paint? You may be surprised. I would like to see a sentinel though.

Plus I feel inadequate to judge considering my lack of talent and wouldn't know a good mini from bad. Now that's just nonsense. Of course you would. Just because you aren't an award winning movie director, I'm sure you can tell a good film from a bad one - and I'm sure you can tell a good joke from a bad one even though you aren't a stand-up comedian. Likewise, I'm sure you can tell a well done miniature from a bad one even though you aren't a Golden Demon winner. Now get voting!

What about something completely out of our normal remit? Like a Xeno, or another branch in the Imperium? It would take some painters out of their comfort zones (which can lead to very good things) and broaden our painting experiences.
Just a thought.
