Winter Painting Challange 2014/2015

"As landscapes burn and new allegiances are formed, suspicion and betrayal are rife, flee to your banners if they're still alive but be careful, they may not be as loyal as they once we're"

This Painting Challenge we have another choice for you, you may enter one of the following three;
i) End times Refugees. A unit or model to be part of a host of the eternity king.
ii) A Standard Bearer for your troops to rally too (either BSB/unit standard).
iii) Terrain inspired from the end times. A garden of morr, a forest, an arcane fulcrum, witchfate etc...
Normal rules apply. Build and paint something to the description above. Keep it a secret and once your done send me 1 or 2 "best photos" via PM.
Anyone can enter, the more the better. (Even if you live South of the equator and its not really Winter ;) )
Any Questions just ask me here or via PM.

Prizes. It's with Great pleasure that I can Announce that the Winner of these Challenges will have the privilege of having their work immortalised in the Hallowed Halls of the P&M Monthly Winners thread and in addition will have a shiny medal added to their profile along with the prestigious bragging rights that comes with that.

Also it will once again fall to them with the best endeavour (least votes) to choose the theme of our next Painting Challenge. If for whatever reason the Best endeavor forfeits their choice then the Challenge Champion (winner) will choose.

This Challenge will run until the snow clears and the birds begin to chirp again or the 10th of March
All entries must be sent to me by the time I log in on the 11th of March. That should give us just enough time to vote and get the next Challenge going in the beginning of Spring

OK thanks everybody and good luck,
frogboy

Nothing is required. On other forums a WIP picture with a dated newspaper or similar, or a hand written note naming the competition is usual to send in.
Here you don't have to send in a WIP picture proving you did the work for this competition. It's just for fun, and more work isn't necessarily fun. :)

I'll probably join in, as I have convinced my play group to do an escalation league to get more games played. I'll try and escalate only with models I have to paint/finish painting. This means I will have several suitable models/units for this competition by March. Not that I win, but the more the merrier.

When I think about it, frogboy, saying the comp runs until the snow clears would have to be closer to the 10th of May (which may even be early) here. If the ones living in the southern hemisphere doesn't have winter at all now, I'd like to say you southerners (any non-arctic people) barely have a taste of winter. :D

Come Friday and I'll be sipping beers on the beach. Oh the relaxing that's gonna be performed....

That item would be in every list.

Just to reiterate (I think that's the correct word) what others have said...

To take part all you have to do is get your model/s/entry ready, don't show anyone then once its done send me a photo or two (some people like to send more) via PM (private message) of the completed model before the close of play/the end date is in the OP but its the 10th of March (snow is optional).

We don't do all that taking a photo whilst holding up a copy of the Daily Mail with your pants down showing the time on a sun dial here as we trust you all and there are no moneys/prizes involved other than the prestigious bragging rights, being immortalised in the hall of fame and when the computer git gets around to it having a shiny medal in your profile. Come to think of it perhaps we ought to start getting photos with your pants down, I'm sure Baardah will have a few after is holiday lol...

OK have a good new years everyone and see you all on the other side

Thanks good to hear Mollesvinet and much better than me. I started to paint something, got bored and painted something else. Unfortunately what I painted is unsuitable for this Challange so might have to try and finish what I started quickly...
