Ok, so the UK Gamesday is coming up, along with the Golden Daemon painting competition.
If, like me, you enjoy painting yet feel intimidated by big competitions, then there's not usually many that are open to show off your handywork!
So, starting from the 1st August up untill the end of September, we're going to have a painting competition of our own!
This is of course IGMB, so I thought it would be appropriate to start with something we all have in common; a love of the humble guardsman.
Entitled 'Rank and File', this competition is open to models fulfilling the role of an 'average' guardsman, one of the many guys available to the IG general as part of a platoon. Armed with his trusty lasgun, there's no enemy that can stand before him (as long as he's got a few hundred of his mates behind him!)
The entry should be a single guardsman figure, armed with lasgun (or equivalent), on a standard 25mm or 40mm base.
These can be converted, re-posed, whatever, although they MUST conform with the stereotype an 'average lasgun trooper' from a platoon infantry squad.
Any regiment can be used (even one of your own) so if you fancy death korps or catachans, go for it!
Entries will consist of a Final Finished Product photo, and up to 3 WIP photos. At least 1 WIP must be provided, to show that it was your own work!
All entries must be submitted to myself via PM by September 30th at 24:00 GMT, and a separate voting thread will be created.
The winner will recieve praise and glory, and maybe some cool stuff too, depending on what I/anybody else is willing to donate.
If this works and gets a good level of submission, I'll be more than happy to organise more in the future.
This is all in the name of fun, and improving our painting skills, so wether you're a total novice or a seasoned pro, please submit a model!
Now get painting!
