Count me in. I have new French Naps and Viking waiting to be painted.

Cheers, Andy

Have you got any links to useful tutorials, it would save me a bit of time when it comes to doing the other Comp threads?

Thanks to Fred I got curious and googled it, here's one decenet thread for an idea Leon and others who want it...time to disappear to my local hardware store thanks Fred for the push.

Excellent, that looks fairly easy to knock up.

I am in with my Dark Elves Army, just ordered the correct bases a few days ago

Here are some pictures of my foamboard photobooth, it has only one lamp at the  top, but the reflection inside makes for almost no shadows at all, even with  the one lightsource.

And the Judges: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4459.0.html

Only 2 weeks before the competition opens!

Just started painting for this years competition
Can´t wait to see all the other beautifully painted miniatures.

Mine have arrived, will not be starting until I finish the 15mm army I am using on 10 & 11 Feb is finished!
It's all going to be tight!

Just over a week to go before entry opens, I hope everyone's busily slapping paint on things!

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just a quick line to say good luck to you all, I am really looking forward to judging again this year.  Going by the standard of the entries from last year I can't wait to see what this year brings.

So all the best

Andy

A have a question:
My fantasy units are base in 80x40mm bases. There are no legal? 

Leon

Just received my e-mail advising of the above.

How did you know I use a paint roller? 

Chad

hmm I'm not very good at painting, however, I am willing to give it a go and see what happens you never know

You'd have to enter those in the 'Anything Goes' category I'm afraid.

Excellent, the more the merrier!  If nothing else, it's handy motivation to get some painting done.

Hah !...

Well, I haven't painted anything for well over two years...and if I'm going to have a go I think everyone should....
Might have to use a 'wax five' instead of a paintbrush tho'.

Cheers - Phil. (Which bit of the brush is best to use ?...The pointy end or the fluffy end ?...I've forgotten.)

Use a roller Phil then you don't have to worry.   

Chad

Sounds good to me Chad ! 
What size roller to you recommend for fine detail ? 
Cheers - Phil

we should have a "painted with a roller" category. I defy AndyMac to do eyeballs with that!

Tell you what...
This painting lark is a lot harder than I remember ! ......Doesn't help when most of the paints are getting a tad on the 'thick' side too.
(And I wish someone had given me a hint about spraying such small figures.....Kiera went flying when I pressed the wossname on top of the can !)
Cheers - Phil.

Always be careful pressing your wossname when you're stood next to Kiera
