Painting&Modelling Challenge frequency, now with voting poll
So over the course of the last 12 months we've had quarterly challenges, this was changed from the original monthly challenge that was ran before but how would people feel about reverting back to a monthly competition ?

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
The more opportunities you give, the more people will eventually take part in your "Wooden Demon Competition"
I'ld say to try 2 monthly, for starters... And when everyone is hyped, go to monthly again...
I feel like 4 months is too much time.

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
I'd certainly enjoy more frequent challenges. I can't promise I'd partake in all of them, but I'd certainly like to join in more, and I always end up missing the boat, only to have to wait 3 months for the next one, which I will of course, forget until it's too late. My fault entirely, I understand, but nonetheless, I'd be more inclined to dive in if the challenge popped up immediately after seeing everyone else's great entries in the last one.

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
3 months is quite a big window to miss
Ok that's great feed back and exactly what I'm looking for, I was thinking along the same lines as you two have just said and would like to have more frequent challenges but don't want to see them die out completely because some people need longer than a month to build or paint something...
I think we need more opinions first

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
Start with going to every 2 months and see if you can sustain the interest first.

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
I agree on two months, if three is too long time to wait. One month just seems too short (at least for me ) to finish anything.

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
Ok seems like a good compromise for everyone if we go to 2 months. We have had a lot of Wood Elf themes for the challenges recently mostly because of the new book i imagine but hopefully i can open that up a little in the future and make the themes slightly more open so more members can join in
Anyone else got any ideas

I have no secondary force (yet)
Maybe you can do something with that?
Else... A kit coming from an other RACE (so no elves what so ever)

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
How about a forest entry? Can't have too many of those and it's not necessarily for the wood elves.

Hmm, I like the idea of a monster or a warmachine, open to any army.

Re: Painting & Modeling Challenge frequency
Guys I love the enthusiasm but this thread is more for the discussion of the frequency of the P&M Challenge rather than the category or theme

1 Monthly
2 Bi-monthly
3 Per trimester
4 Go with the seasons
5 I pm Froggy and advocate my own idea

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew how badly I dancenXken wrote:Dance for me Froggy! Do that pole
So looks like the 2 month option is popular, unless we get more votes that's the one we will try next

Re: Painting&Modelling Challenge frequency, now with voting
I'm a little biased here as I used to run these things, but I do miss the monthly challenges. The most exciting and the ones that brought most entries where the ones with a "open" yet strict theme.
I remember one where the theme was mustaches (it was a November challenge) where entries ranged from empire captains to treebeard, Pirates, and that tranny ogre man eater.
Other could be even more open like a command group. Or a champion, or a terrain piece.
I think the trick is not in the interval but finding a theme that most people will have an entry to.

Re: Painting&Modelling Challenge frequency, now with voting
I very much agree with bardah! thats a great idea and the 2 month thing is enough time I think for people to build/paint a mini with feeling like I have to get it done! while 3-4 months I start thinking Man I have plenty of time... OH NO WHERED THE TIME GO!

Re: Painting&Modelling Challenge frequency, now with voting
Baardah come back to the council and take it over again. I was only ment to be doing this part time
Ok so the votes are in and we will be doing 2 monthly Challenges. If I see a trend in the entry's comming in early and less coming in in the second month then I may switch to monthly Challenges, hopefully the new Challenge will be up later and will be something for everyone so keep an eye out
