Next Competition

:sign5:

yeah, there would have to be categories.  I just don't think we'd have enough entries to pit dioramas against singlybased gaming pieces.

[Custom_Hobby]

I would thank the dioramas would be the hardest because you would have to paint all of the figures to the same high standard. One figure can detract from the entire scene. We have plenty of time though and there may be room for multiple categories within the zO range for the comp. The discussion is going well so we will see where it goes....

I would love to see inso do a little troop of muchkins

[Dr.Evil]

The way gi6ers paint's he would have an army painted by the end of the comp.  :icon_razz:

I have scarecrows and munchkins unpainted but no Dot, it didn't grab me...  :icon_neutral:

Can you use other figure's in the diorama's or just ZO one's.

[Custom_Hobby]

Lets just stick with zO figures (unless you want to sculpt or heavily convert something). I just think it would be nice to focus on Steve for a bit.

And the way Matt paints me might have his entry finished already.

[Dr.Evil]

Someone was bound to want to know about other figure's so i asked.  :icon_mrgreen:

[Custom_Hobby]

I really don't care either way the more that I think about it. If it makes the scene work better then go ahead but the focus should be zO figures. Sort of like the way they did the DOD entries.

[cheddarmonger]

Kinda like Iron Chef.  Scored on how it showcases the secret ingredient.  Or the secret miniature.  Well, not exactly secret, but you get the idea.

[Inso]

How about if we use ANY of the zO figures, with ANY other miniatures AS LONG AS there are more zO than others.  The only exception being a one-on-one duel.

That way Spyglass gets the lion share of attention and we get to use what ever figures we like along with the zO ones.

Also, categories with a fairly small competition is probably a waste of time.  Lets just go for the 'open' competition and have all comers against everyone else (this coming from the one who suggested categories  :icon_scratch:).  If we play in a friendly way, there's no need to gategorise entries...it's the taking part, not the winning.

I think the NO POSTING WIPs rule should stay as well, that way it's more of a surprise when the entry pix get posted.

When is it likely to be?  Soon?

[cheddarmonger]

...it's the taking part, not the winning.

You rock!  I love that attitude!

How about score by polling, 1st, 2nd, and 1 random among those that didn't place!!  That way, folks are encouraged to particpate regardless of skill level.

[Custom_Hobby]

So far all of the suggestions are good ones. This is shaping up very well. LEts see when Andy will be ready to actually sell the miniatures and we can decide on times from there.

[SteveB]

Andy has got the Spyglass page back up. There's no menu option for it there but here's the direct link

And they're on the 'everything in one big list' option.

[Custom_Hobby]

Thanks Steve. I can go and order myself and for the comp

[gi6ers]

order placed  :icon_cool:

[Inso]

Yes, mine too  :icon_cool:.

While I was there I bought my first Heresy stuff as well...lurkers and a Dwarf inventor (not for the competition...just to see what they were like) :icon_twisted:.

That's one of the good things about these little compies...they get you choosing miniatures that you wouldn't necessarily choose normally  :icon_razz:.

[gi6ers]

Good choice there Inso! I think the dwarf was one of my first minis from their and the options are great.

Might have to get another one at some point.

This is from a couple of years ago
