Quote from: KeithS on 28 January 2022, 05:39:10 PMPossibly a bit of a foolish question, but I'll ask it anyway.  I am sure that there will be some absolutely amazing entries, but is there any reason why us average (or worse) painters shouldn't put something in just for the fun of taking part?
I can send you some photos of my entries as proof that average or worse entries are accepted.

My tactic is to enter in the categories with the fewest entries.

I plan on having 3 cavalry per base, so 21 cavalry in total. Is one figure over the 20 max accepted?

Can you enter 6 bases instead of 7?

Yeah I can, so I guess that's a no.

Leon

If you had a single base with 21 figures on it then we could probably allow it, as it's a lot of trouble to remove 1 figure!  But if they are based in 3's, then it's easy to just remove a base and photo 6 bases.

No worries, just wanted to see if I could've added 1 extra figure. Thanks for the reply.

This looks very cool. I've painted up some Hoplites but I've used little big man transfers on the shields. Would this exclude them as an entry🤔

I'm sure that would be OK. I mean, you could be using different bases, paints, base materials etc.

I don't. Everything comes from Pendraken for me.  :^o

That would be fine, no worries.

This may be a daft question but how do I upload pictures to the forum? I see a lot of PC icons that I dont understand and I've only just figured out working media from my phone!

They would need to be hosted somewhere first, so a blog or photo storage account like Flickr, Photobucket, etc.  Once that's done you can then link to the image from here, using the image tags.  So what you'd end up with is something like:

so what if I only have something like Twitter or Instagram and I find the forum layout intimidating/baffling?
