I think that is doable with regards to getting an initial show done up to show what we are all using as our pile of goodies to get painted... Turtleboy how about it?
Cheers

Knight.. i dont want to make this one go fast.. cause I want to have some quality in my models unlike last time  that's why you get quality point bonuses this year. no set date on a cutoff for getting your 'before' pic in yet. just putting it on the table so you all know I'll be setting a date if a few contestants go MIA. max of +10pts in models/day. if you submit 10 models worth and get another 10pts in quality bonuses that you didn't expect then that means you can't submit any new entries the next day since the remaining 10pts hits your tally the following day to complete your award. I recommend referencing the rules post to clear up any questions you might have  basically, max of a 10pt gain per day. call showdowns whenever you want, I think you have to have 20pts to call the first showdown (?) - can't be 100% positive without stopping to go check the rules and it's 4:46am so I can't be bothered |

Just went over the rules.. only states the 10 pts to start a show down rule.. but 20pts difference between you and your competition sounds fair.. 20 points can be gained in a week.. thats a regiment in Fantasy or 2 squads in 40k.. I just got my 2 boxes of NGs today.. am wanting to rip them apart and begin putting them together but will wait till I got my camera to prove they are new.. am going to show knight the true meaning of mass painting.. If this competition lasts for 3 months I can foresee myself having 2 full armies completed if not 3 in that span.. which would be a very nice thing indeed  Cheers Gris |

Too bad, that I'm not at home this weekend and have to work (but that's not that bad as I'll have more money for minis that way ). I'll wait for you grisnik when I reach the 100 after 10 days  Skaven are really just a bit of drybrushing and painting Word Bearers become more then easy with the new Mecharite Red (it was a pain doing the first layers with Red Gore before you could ink the armour with Magenta Ink, that took ages). But I'm really worrying about the NGs a bit. They're small and really fast to paint. Perhaps I'll have to get a new drybrush brush (and a bigger and flat one) so that I won't get behind |

next person I hear is delaying their 40k hobby work for the start of the paintoff gets -1 point. seriously, start your work now, and just be honorable; claim your points as 'catchup' points if you fall behind. as long as we all are honest, this should all be just fine. the paintoff is here to encourage and stimulate painting and hobby work, not to stall it and keep everyone from doing work when they're excited to do it! so then, paint, assemble, be merry. the cutoff for 'before' pics is June 17th, as you guys were discussing. anyone who hasn't put in a 'before' pic at that time will be put to -10 pts and the competition will begin. (posting a before pic after that date will recover your -10pt penalty. you don't need a 20pt lead to post a showdown, gris. you can be in the lead by 2 and call a showdown. just go by the rules for showdowns posted in the initial post the clock has begun to tick down to game time gentlemen! get your pics up and take your place at the starting blocks, but DO NOT stop painting to wait for the gun!!! (just use any paintingwork done between now and the june 17th (or when the paintoff starts if sooner than that) as catchup point submissions. also, if someone is in the lead by over 70pts and calls a showdown, the points per day limit is removed for those who are working to reach the showdown point cutoff. this is to allow people who are lagging really far behind (but lets say have a metric ton of catchup points available) to put their backs into it and drop 50pts of catchup points onto their point score in 1 day if they have it for example). remember however, catchup points can only be claimed for models done AFTER submission of your 'before' pic and BEFORE the start of the paintoff. models submitted in this fashion must still check out against your before pic and be visible as progress made to verify your final winning point scores. |

Trust me when I say that they are not easy.. www.cruickedstyle.com/album/main.php?cmd=imageview&var1=Minitures%2Fgoblin+army%2FGoblin+Spearmen+1.jpg&var2=2This is what I am doing with my NGs though.. it is not that easy.. I don't do the standard black cloak deal.. they are coming from the very cold mountain caves near Maw mountain... got that cold feeling to them and what not.. Need to get better pictures taken though.. will be doing that once I get back from vacation on thursday and hopefully my camera comes back safe and sound from Canada with my mother in law.. Give me some time Knight.. i promise you this is not going to be easy for me as well.. will be lucky if i get a couple done a night.. more do to work than anything.. This competition will be one for the ages.. bring it on... Gris |

If I start now Tboy, I won't have any minis left when it officially started, or at least no Skaven and Word Bearers. And using them as catchup points would be a waste of my potential |

it's up to you when/when not to paint just offering the thought that the paintoff should never prevent one from painting |

i am not double posting but...
remove the heretic stabwhiskers from the paintoff list, after talking to him he confessed he was a heretic and is going to be executed on june the 15th, this makes him lose all his rights to enter the paintoff so please remove him to stop holding up this momentous event in history.
nah kidding:
remove stabwhiskers because after talking with him he said he is quitting warhammer and he sold all his stuff so he is not in the paintoff but he will still be on the board i think (groan...)

I'll let him speak for himself. as of now, the paintoff has (including me) 4 fully registered competitors (3 of which are capable of winning). to be able to win, you must have a 'before' pic submitted of your army. cutoff date is june 17th, the paintoff will begin at that date no matter who has submitted before pics or who has not.

ok, but he wont be entering, and i have another thing to submit for my before pic which i just got yesterday and assembled through yesterday and today so it counts for assembly points.  |

only plastic models count for assembly points - sorry if I didn't mention it! (d'oh!) makes sense right?

Of coure it makes sense, most metal you either attatch an arm or two or do nothing at all, what kind of feat is that?

I have an metal ork shamane, that rides on a plastic boar. It has a 3 part boar and 3 part shamane... So no, it doesn't make sense or it only makes sense it few cases. That orc shamane is multipart model that needs some serious assembling. I'll take a photo if you want (unassembeled of course)

Hmmm...
thats a point, but many (not all) are very simple. So if they are more complex then it makes sense TO allow them, but if they are the "throw on a hand and arm here and there" then it doest make sense to NOT allow them.

Lets try to keep this simple you don't want to make things complex for yourselves....if you only have one or two metals models to assemble than NO you don;t get points for assembly but you do for painting etc...you could just try your hardest to make up the points in the painting by doing a tremendous job and getting the extra points. Lets call the turtle in a half shell hero to save this one but thats my opinion.
Its a good thing i am not in it this year....half my army was metal models.

A normal plastic Cadian consists of 7 parts (legs, torso, 2 arms, head, and 2 parts of equipment). That shamane consists of 6 parts (2 sides for the boar, 1 head for the boar, the body of the shamane, his trophy rack, and his head (and I still have no idea how to get the head on the body...))
So I'd say that complex metal minis give you points. (every metal mini that has at least 4 parts)

Plus metal reenforced armor, metal roof, metal lascannon and some other minor parts. Same for the Cadian Sentinal. But you're right the Sentinals are mainly made out of plastic.
