Okay, we are off and running (and already Leman has posted in the wrong thread)!
Amazing infantry, bradpitre, well done!
Oh bummocks!!

Well, the comment was that's why I don't enter - buttons!! But yes they are beautifully produced SYW figures from one of my favourite periods. Wonder if Brad has come across Honours of War in that there France.
I'm guessing the answer is "if there is I don't know how" but might it be possible to turn off the "reply" option in those threads?
Well again, as my son put it to me today, the internet has not been going for that long and is not a perfect system. There are still many things about it that confuse me.

When I looked at it I wondered which of the Imperial Cavalry Brigades the HQ was for... and why that signaller was only a corporal :o
Is that a head swap or a new hat on the senior German officer in the third entry, the figure is from BP22?
Some cracking entries already 8). At least I've based some stuff up tonight, so only 28 days left to get them painted etc!
Hello Paulr
Yes BP22 figure with a new hat......a mixture of milliput and a lot of swearing!

Hoping fur multiple entries with various projects Ive worked on in 2015 - Napoleonics, SCW and Warband, maybe even a ECW unit. Now all I need is some decent weather so I can take photos in natural daylight!
Just a thought on the categories....
Most are single stand but in future could this include units? Pike and shot look weird without each other :)
What on earth is a polyamorist?

Multiple bases are allowed this year, but still with a maximum of 16 figures in the entry. We'll have a look at increasing that for next year though.
Hello!!!
sumptuous new entries for this competition a real treat for the eyes, and we did that on February 7 !!
I look forward to the next !! !!
eric
Superb stuff!
Some superb new entries today 8). This is going to be a tough job for the judges.
Mid way through the month, so far aiming to enter these categories
Foot - Pre-20th C. [ready to photo]
Mounted [not started]
Vehicle [undercoated]
Fantasy & Sci-Fi [ready to photo]
Open - Single Base [ready to photo]
Open - Army! [two units completed - third & officer undercoated]
Warband! [ready to photo]
Saying all that mind, all my stuff's 'gaming standard' so its more a case of joining in than thinking I'll be ranked.
Half term week, means I can finally get some more entries sorted! ;)

Nice demi-lancers Will.
I had hoped to have my Elf Warband army ready for the competition but that isn't going to happen (still at the undercoat stage!) so instead I will enter pics of my Goblin army. We are off to Poland tomorrow but in a week or so when we get back I should have my Squig Hopper unit finished and ready to post in the Warband unit category.
Cheers, Andy
Have a good trip.
Very nice Napoleonic French army in the army section. Really nicely animated light infantry bases.
Awesome Polish and Bavarian infantry in pre 20-th century section.
MIG1's entry on the Mounted category wins the prize for most amazing first post ever on a Pendraken forum! That is what is called "Laying down a challenge" Good luck everyone!
Mollinary
Welcome MIG.....Can't put that in the competition thread. ;)
And I have to avoid commenting on individual pics of figures during February, 'cos I'm one of the judges. :D
All I'll say, is that I'm very impressed with ALL the entries !
Cheers - Phil
Spot on French 7th Hussars.
am I wrong? I really feel that the level of painting rises sharply in February ?? ........
Well done, new stunning presentations ..... and it remains 13 days, and a lot of surprises to come I think
eric
Those French are brilliant, here's hoping for a people's choice vote! ;)
Very nice elves Bodvoc!
Cheers ML, I just wish I could take better photo's.
Thank you very much everyone. It does looking like it's going to be very difficult competition as what i've seen so far.
So good luck to you all.
Love the hussars, and the viking longboat is ace too!

Yep.
The quality of painting is getting better year on year. I am a bit surprised that there have been so few entries so far, not sure if this is just because everyone is rushing to finish, or, like me, they are struggling to find motivation to finish stuff off, when it feels that even my best isn't really up to the standard of the competition any more.

Don't panic .I'll lower a bit in a couple of days
My own way of removing the stress factor is to paint 2mm. Doesn't do much for the competition but it keeps me sane.
QuoteI am a bit surprised that there have been so few entries so far
likewise :-\
with only 9 days to go hopefully there will be lots of last minute entries. 2 categories with no entries at all so far.

Well usually i am the first one to post a lot of stuff. (been first to post in 20th century foot category for 3 years) That was because i made sure i had everything done up front.
This year with the baby and all that i am late, and just finished another entry a few hours ago. Been waiting for good light since the start too, as otherwise i will have crap pics for another year. Might take some today if i can.
Yesterday I went through what I painted over the last year, painting diaries are very useful ;) :)
I've found something for six of the categories so will do a marathon photo shoot this afternoon :!!
One of the six categories currently has no entries so I might at least grab the early lead ;) ;D
I think I'm only going to enter two categories this year, vehicle and pre 20
Take care
Andy
Marathon photo shoot completed #:-S
Now only 117 photos :o to sort through and whittle down to 15 :!!
You cutting down?
My brushwork just isn't up to snuff.
There we go, everything is in.
First time i don't have a 20th century foot entry though!
Not hoping to win anything, just glad to take part!
Love that conqueror!!!
Almost dwarfs the base though ;D
FSN, nice one!
Thanks. Can't get the green right in the photo.
Lovely Numidians Ben.
TSV90DangerRoss - like the bases of your native Americans.
What's the secret?
Looks great for irregular troops.
My entries are in, so 6 categories have had their numbers boosted a little
Congratulations FSN on doubling your entries from last year, even a 'conversion' this time ;) :) :D
Good luck to all :-bd

If you are using daylight balanced painting lights, try setting the white balance to (you guessed it) daylight. I generally have to do that to get the colours right. A prodominantly green subject (something tanky for instance) will throw off auto white balance.
My photos were taken with a smartphone using the lights I paint with. I was experimenting with a cheap light box but they didn't come out quite how I expected, and I was too lazy to break out the dslr and all the gadgets it needs.
Unfortunately, I see a horse drawn wagon in the vehicle section so you might be outgunned in the competition :)
John
Really like the horse drawn supply wagon. Also thoroughly enjoying the 2mm - no stress because splotches of paint. I am happy to leave the competition to the Leonardo's among you.
Yeah. I paint like Leonardo di Caprio!
But I look like Leonardo the Mutant Turtle.
And fight like Leonardo da Vinci. :(

Did that. Still doesn't look like my actual vehicle. Perhaps it's the colour balance of my VDU.

cheers lad, each group of 3 is mounted on a 20mm round base, and then this is placed in one of the 'zombie' sabots from warbases.
then I use the 'baccus basing system' that I originally had for my 6mm stuff, and broke it up with a few tufts.
hope that helps

"mounted
ˈmaʊntɪd/
adjective
adjective: mounted
riding an animal, typically a horse, especially for military or other duty." - Google
No one is riding those horses, so technically they are draught animals not mounts :)
Not wishing to rock the boat, nor start a debate, but I'd say the horse-drawn wagon was in the correct category. It being a horse-drawn vehicle.
Quote from: WikipediaA horse-drawn vehicle is a mechanized piece of equipment pulled by one horse or by a team of horses. These vehicles typically had two or four wheels and were used to carry passengers and/or a load. They were once common worldwide, but they have mostly been replaced by automobiles and other forms of self-propelled transport.
At least that's how I'd view it. :)
To bypass all this fuss i entered my limber in the open category ;D
I went with an artillery base for my open entry :)
I took FSN's suggestion as tongue in cheek, attempting to reduce the competition in the vehicle category that he has entered ;) ;D
As already noted I'm happy to have it shifted if it is bending the rules
To be clear, I was joking.
No problem from this end, wagons and carts have always gone in the Vehicle category (or Open if people choose).
In my wargame world the vast majority of vehicles are horse drawn.
right then, some assistance required, I've decided to change the photos for my entry in the the pre-20th century foot category. For some reason I can't seem to find the edit or delete post button? Am I just having a moment and totally missing something, or is this feature disabled in this specific thread.
any help much appreciated!
You can only edit posts for a short while after posting, around 30 mins.
If you email Leon he can probably add the new photo. Or just do a new post and ask for the old one to be deleted.
As Fred says, there's a time limit on editing your posts, so you can either email me the links to your new images, or make a new entry post and I'll delete the old one for you.

Ok I have added a new post now, thanks very much for the help lads. I have a thing about all my units getting casualty figures so every time I saw the photos a little voice inside my head was saying 'incomplete unit'

We're a little behind previous years, but not far. In 2014 we had about 70 by the 24th and then went on to hit 207 overall. We always see over 100 entries in the last 3 days of the comp, so that'll be 27th/28th/29th this year.
And I have to remember I'm a day ahead, 25th drawing to a close for me while it's just dawning for most of you
So it's good morning to you and good night from me ;)
C20th units is a bit sort of 'ooh that khaki's much nicer than that khaki but not quite as nice as that khaki.'
Blimey MIG's stuff is amazing! :o 8)
It is indeed, perhaps because it isn't khaki ;) ;D

Hello everyone !!
I have a little question
I wanted to place an entry in the "free base" with an artillery battery, but it consists of several base ........
As long as the combined size of the entry is smaller than 100x100mm, that should be OK.
I'm struggling to get photos to a size small enough to be uploaded direct to the site. I only have a very basic photo edit package which wont let me resize photos.
Can I simply post links to my blog?
Yes.
Add the images to a blog post. On each image right click and select copy image address.
Back to the forum, click the insert image icon (3rd one on 2nd row, looks like a landscape picture)
Paste between the two img tags (the cursor should be in the right place).
It sounds more complex than it is!
Despite having lots of stuff painted in the last 11.75 calendar months, I am sticking to my own, self-imposed, rules, and only entering things painted in February. Last batch had flock, clump and scatter added last night and this morning.
So serious impressive stuff out there.
You're mad! Well its your name!
I've managed to paint a couple of entries this month - but could never get close to an entry per category in just one month.
Its taken a good chunk of time this morning just to photograph stuff, and now to sort through the photos.

These were taken in late, late autumn. One of the benefits of living in the East of England as we get a higher percentage of sunny days than most.
Having grown up on the East coast, and now living on the West, I have plenty of opportunity to contrast wet and mild, with clear and windy. Unfortunately lately it has been wet and cold and windy. :(
Some good entries coming in :)
Much better photographs FSN, interesting choice of vehicle Andy & nicely done :)
Thank you kindly.
There are some very good entries. I'm very impressed with the WWI British.
Some excellent entries coming in. Great stuff
Just psoted my sencond (and last) entry for this year competition.
Man, those Warband bases look awesome. I need to get some...
Good luck to everyone!!
My last entries are in too, good luck all!
Wow! Hold on! Who just put in the LOA entries! They are a) amazing, b) blown any chance I would ever have! Just amazing!
Quick message for fsn, can you make another post in the vehicle category so that I can transfer one of your entries over to it? We try to keep one entry per post so that it's easier to track the entries.
Got my last photos posted now, takes ages faffing around trying to pick the best photos, especially for the army category.
I'm really liking Tiny Tin Troops' WWI entries - and it looks like the LoA range has generated so many entries it could have its own category!
Good luck to all!

Good thing there are 29 days in February this year, I think I just made it in with the last entries, not sure what the time zone does to me
I'm proud of my work, but some outstanding work has been shown here, it is humbling, as I guess it should be

Redstef's army is absolutely charming, i love the colours contrast and the neat painting. I like also ali657 pic but i'm a bit unsure about it's theme.
Just noticed the fantasy gallery: hetaroi's squig herders and mostyn's skeletons are top notch works! :o :o :o :o
Just going thru categories now - lots of fantastic entries - I am quite taken with AndyT's warband with the riders on the pig deamon things!
Superb basing and animation. Also like Hoagie's wooly attack mammoths in the same category.

Well, the extra day worked for me! Finished my basing this morning and then the excellent weather meant I had some decent light to take photographs with.
Ironically, the ones I took on my phone were mostly better than the ones I took with the proper camera :o :'(

Some brilliant last minute entries. Love the zebra
Good luck to everyone that's entered
Some cracking entries this year folks. Congratulations to all. :-bd
First time I've had to sit down and go through all the entries since the comp closed. Wow! There are some great entries. And seeing them all back to back is even more impressive. I don't envy the judges, as you scroll down you go that one's good, then you see another, then another, I'm glad I don't have to pick.
It's a bit of a shame that the number of entries is down a bit this year.

So, i'm not saying he took his pills, but the fact he can walk in a tiara and sash without tripping was the most plausible claim made in that post ;D
Come on, smiling graciously at the losers, i won't believe it untill i have seen it!

I would not want to be a judge!!
You will be (along with everybody else) in the Peoples Choice. ;)
That's probably even more difficult than the individual categories. X_X
Cheers - Phil (Who has 'done' his points awarding. :D)
For me,I'm putting my money on the participation award :D :D
Seriously, some very nice pieces in there!

The talent some folk have is just .........well makes me want to go knee capping ;D

I was going to enter then realised most of my 10mm output has emigrated, and wasn't based up by me anyway. Then I remembered at the last minute I DID have some I needed better photos for, failed to take photos, looked at the entries and saw how good they were and was a bit stunned to get any in :)
There's a lot of seriously good stuff there. Good luck, and very nicely done to all who didn't faff and fail :D
Just had another look through the entries - this ones going to be bloody close to call. Excellent stuff guys.
It's nice this year not to be sat biting my nails waiting for the 6pm announcement.

7am isn't that early, honest O:-)
Worthy winners all, well done not only to those who've won but to all those who entered. Very high standard throughout, especially for 10mm!

Congratulations to all the winners =D>
My votes are in, that was such a high bar to clear this year, all those entries are amazing! All are utterly deserving of their place in the vote.
Good luck all, I shall retire to my darkened man cave to sulk that I'm not good enough and plan my revenge for next year (otherwise known as don't try to paint a 350 figure gaming army during Febuary), muhahahaha!

Right, the real business is ready to be sorted! Time to see who's buying them if we ever get to a show together again... ;)
