Welcome to the April Painting Challenge. This month you have chosen......

Image





A maximum of 2 models can be entered in the challenge and the following combinations of models are acceptable from ANY faction of Middle Earth.

Hero
Unnamed Captain


plus one of the following

Banner
Hornblower
Drummer
Taskmaster
Second hero
(must be from same faction as first hero)

1. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature/s you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of April 30th 2015. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos per model of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than four pictures into one file it is ok to do that

Pictures of completed models must be submit using a third party hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. Pictures submit by attachment will not be eligible for the vote. Any problems PM me.

3. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

4. With the introduction of The League Winners from the previous month are now eligible to enter and win consecutive challenges without penalty.

Good luck and have fun!

What if you have a Hero that is also mounted, can you do both mpunted and on foot or do you have to choose one?

I'm planning to do Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood (if possible foot and mounted) and a Mirkwood elf Captain.

You could do a foot and mounted but those two models would be your entry. you could not submit a ft and mtd and a mirkwood captain.

Here's my pic... minis will almost for sure come from that bunch. Most likely Theoden and the banner guy still missing the banner. If not I'll make sure to post a new pic. Wips in my wip thread, as soon as I have any. :)

My entry - in the right place
The banner bearer has been roughly painted by whoever I bought it from on eBay. It will have a fresh paint job.

Thanks for the info, Mally. I'll make a decision, which is... Karavatis, Goblin King + Scribe sounds reasonable for me, so go ahead. :)

Here is my proof pic. I'm not sure yet which hero I will include, so I took a photo of them all:

And completed entry. I wasn't sure whether to enter Banner or Horn Blower but it was Horn Blower in the end. The banner is still waiting to be painted...

All the best to all competitors! :)
