So, wait, this is the discussion thread about the painting competition and NOT the thread for discussing the discussion competition?

I thought discussing the eligibility of a forum member to enter his or her figures into a specific catergory was discussing the competition

Surely the "Singles" base catergory should only be open to those who are without a Significant other?

This message is not meant  to imply that  he or she, who is without a significant other (of any gender), is in that situation due to His or Her fault or misdemeanour or even mrdemeanour. Nor that He or she is lacking in anyway, or that they are of any less importance  than a he or a she who does have a significant other (of any gender.)

Neither is it to imply that he or she should feel that they need to find a Significant other (of any gender) in his or her social circle.

But that he or she should rejoice in his or her individuality and independence. Until that time when he or she should find a significant other (of any gender) that fulfills his or her needs and desires.

What about us polyamorists, then?!

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!
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

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?

A swinger with heart, and a deplorable readiness to mix Greek and Latin.

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.

Some superb new entries today 8). This is going to be a tough job for the judges.

Roy

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.

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

Very nice Napoleonic French army in the army section. Really nicely animated light infantry bases.
