[P] MAY Challenge "Kingdoms Of Men"

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Fri May 01, 2015 8:36 am

Welcome to the May Painting Challenge. This month will be based around the

* This will be a single miniature challenge*

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 May 31st 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!

I will try to enter in this month! (it will be my first time)

I would like do Aragorn from the Heroes of Helm's Deep set (my favourite model of him). I'll start early so I can make it without stress, my painting isn't the best, but I'll try!

I hope to start a WIP soon so I can show my work... :-D

Another great model choice Elrohir. That particular Aragorn is also my favourite. Good luck for the challenge.

Do Laketown models count under Kingdoms of Men as well? (Master of Laketown, Bard, Laketown Guard etc.)

Yes they do

Elladan & Elrohir · **Posted:** Mon May 04, 2015 11:07 am

Would Elladan be able to enter his Master of Laketown? That would mean we would be entering 2 entries under one membership? Don't know if thats allowed.

LordElrond · **Posted:** Mon May 04, 2015 11:17 am

Are the twins allowed? They're not Men, but they're in the Arnor list, so I guess so?

Yes that would be fine.

I would say they are more aligned to elves (Half elves) so wouldn't really count them under the heading "Men" If you are stuck for something to paint then i will allow them as valid entries.

Thanks Kev. I'll be painting them anyway, so I guess I might as well enter them, not that I've got a hope in hell of winning, but why not?
