I may have to get in on this. Is it too cheeky for me to simply repost proof pics from my WiP thread?

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:32 pm

I definitely need to get the ball rolling on this one. I think I have my work cut out for me. I'll get those proof pics soon. :-D

My two cents is that everyone is way over thinking this. The models are general guidlines. So far everybody's list is worthy of my decision and valid for the comp . . . but I'm not a moderator.

Correct. The only rules are that there must be 1 hero and between 8-12 troops (infantry) or 1 hero and between 6-12 troops (cavalry). What models these are doesn't matter for the purposes of this challenge (although it would be nicer to have mounted heroes with cavalry and foot heroes with foot soldiers, though not necessary if you do not have the proper models required).

Slight rule change

Quote:

6-12 Units, one of which MUST be a hero (Cavalry)
or
8-12 Units, one of which MUST be a hero (Infantry)

3 Mordor Trolls (the one on the left a Chieftain) 8 Orc Warriors (were originally going to be all with Shields, but instead I chose my favourites, so 3 with Shields, 2 withs bows, 2 with two-handed weapons and 1 with spear) and an Orc Banner Bearer. The Orcs all need repainting and rebasing, the Trolls need assebling and painting.

Good luck all

I have a question. Does the proof pic have to be in front of the computer screen displaying that months paint challenge? If so, sorry for doing them wrong for the past few months. :oops:

ditto, if I had to, my pictures would be horrible as there is no light by the PC, even with the lamp on.

Usually it is preferred for the proof picture to be taken in front of your computer screen with that months thread in the background, though it is not something we force.

Here's my warband, a converted Ugluk/Uruk Scout captain at the head of 12 Uruk-Hai Reavers (scouts with 2HW). Note that the Reavers are not an official model, but conversions for my personal profile (basically add a 2HW option to a Scout), can they still play?

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Sat Sep 08, 2012 1:26 pm

Loving the conversions!
