[PAINTING] July Painting Challenge Miniature

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:13 pm

The purpose of this poll is to determine which of the above good characters will be the painting challenge for the month of July. The poll will run until 19:13PM on June 28th GMT+1, leaving everyone with a short amount of time to go out and get the materials they might need to participate next month.

I've only added 3 options this month, it seems we're quickly blasting through all of the main characters. If you have any nominations for the next Good characters challenge (October), feel free to post them here.

Please note - the winning choice is not what you must paint next month, only what is preferred, you are still more than welcome to paint something else similar if you haven't got the correct miniature (for example, if Frodo is chosen and you don't have a Frodo miniature in time, you're permitted to paint up something similar for the challenge instead - like Sam, Merry or Pippin to name a few examples).

Woooo. 1st to vote. Go Eowyn. I'm planning to paint her once I've finished the Witch King anyway.

Ironically I've painted Eowyn for royalty...
If Eowyn won, would Theoden/Erkenbrand be a possible alternative?

Possibly Galadriel, Durin, Arathorn or Imrahil (don't think any of them have come up yet)?

They'd be fine as they wear similar armour, long blonde hair etc.

Nope none of them have come up yet. I try to pick ones that haven't had similar miniatures pop up in the last few months so all of those are good suggestions.

If we are going to do faramir, will it only be one model of faramir (like him in heavy armour on a horse) or just any model of Faramir?

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 21, 2012 7:24 pm

Any model of Faramir would be eligible.

I have an Invisible Frodo, maybe I could submit it.

Ooh I have one of those. It's already based, would that still count as a pre-painted proof photo?

As I've just repainted Eowyn (for the Royalty challenge) and it doesn't look like I'm going to get more Rohan heroes soon, I voted Frodo.

Suggestions: Some of the armoured elves (elladan/elrohir, haldir, glorfindel, maybe Thranduil), Forlong, Angbor, Duilin.

My vote goes to Eowyn (sorry Telchar)

Voted for Eowyn.

Though I do need a Faramir model for my Minas Tirith knights.

Oh! the choices, the choices.......

Frodo FTW!

Legolas31 · **Posted:** Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:12 pm

would Aragorn count if Faramir was to win as their ranger's outfits are pretty simular?

Green_Dragon · **Posted:** Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:04 pm

After doing the witch king on fell beast this month I think I'll be going with a hobbit this month... thats if I do enter. Would much rather see some hobbits anyway

Yes.

Both Faramir and Eowyn could be painted for the royalty challenge, so I went for Frodo.

cal585 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:09 pm

No, Eowyn's failing

I voted for Eowyn as it makes my choice for the Royalty competition easier. Alas it looks like she's still going to be one of my contenders for that as well

C'mon you hobbit, you just have to win!
