Welcome to the August Painting Challenge thread. This months topic is

THE DWARF HOLDS

Image


NOTE - An unlimited number of models can be submit for the vote in this challenge. Go wild!

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 August 31st 2015. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 8 photos 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 8 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. 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!

Ahhh maaaaaaan!

Kev what are you doing to me? Dwarf holds would have been excellent up to February and from September onwards but March-August is elves and White Council!

I'm sure we've been through this…

Alright, I made my choice on the dwarves I want to try to paint for this months challenge:

The day was March 26 of the year 3019 TA. Thorin III and Bard II looked out over the valley in front of the Lonely Mountain. It has been 6 days since both their fathers died defending the main gate. Thorin sighed. The valley in front of him was filled with over 100.000 Easterling warriors. The Mountain holds enough resources to withstand a siege, but Thorin feels restless. The day before his scouts noticed strange lightning in the south-east. It might have been a volcano erupting in Mordor. But whatever it was, it caused a disturbance in the Easterling force. Today rumours came to the Mountain saying Sauron has been destroyed.
Thorin caught Bard looking anxiously at Dale. The city looked peaceful. Because of their fathers choice to meet the Easterlings in the open and their retreat to the Mountain when they became overrun it was unclear what happened to the inhabitants who refused to leave Dale.
Thorin summoned his father’s King’s Champion to meet him and Bard for a plan. They decided that they were going for the final push now the Easterlings seemed to lose hoop. While Thorin and Bard lead the main army to march on Dale, a small group lead by the King Champion will travel south to find out if the rumours about Sauron are true. The King’s Champion will be accompanied by his two Heralds, a Shieldbearer, 3 Iron Guards, one Loremaster and a Dwarf Captain.

Here is a proofpick of the King's Champions company:

I will start with the Champion and Heralds, followed by the Shieldbearer, Floi, 3 Iron Guard and if I have time left the Dwarf Captain.
I will try to upload WIP pictures to my Big Book.

Might be able to scrape something together for this.. always good to get some hairy lads painted up, and there should be a few nice unpainted ones somewhere. Don't expect to get more than 1 or 2 done though.

Look at that Gandalf, casually walking on water...
(With next to him, a big scary Fimir if I'm not mistaken. Right at home in an aquatic environment.)
