Happy new year to you all and welcome to the first of many glorious painting challenges of 2014. It was great to see the challenges proving so popular and churning out so many fantastically painted models throughout 2013. Lets see if we can raise the bar for the new year.
Rules
If you are unsure as to whether something will be eligible for entry, just post asking or PM me and I will let you know whether or not you may use it.
1.To complete the challenge a miniature must be completed by January 31st 2014.
2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature 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.
3. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of January 31st 2014. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 5 photos of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from multiple angles.
4. 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.
5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.
Good luck to all
