Welcome to the June Painting Challenge. This month you have chosen.

Rules

YOUR CHALLENGE ENTRY DOES NOT HAVE TO BE GAME LEGAL.
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.
Eligible entry combinations1. A Warband of 8 foot models must contain one hero or generic captain.
2.A Warband of 4 Mounted models must contain one hero or generic captain.
3. A Warband made up of heroes only. This option must contain at least 4 hero models.

You may mix and match from the three options. For example 4 foot models and 2 mounted is an acceptable entry as long as at least one hero is included. Any problems or concerns just pm me and i'll help you out.

1.To complete the challenge a miniature must be completed by June 30th 2015.

2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniatures you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniatures '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 June 30th 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 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.

Hmm, I will try to start painting–after months–and this challenge may provide me with the necessary fillip.

I've just been cleaning and prepping some Easterlings this weekend. Perhaps a Challenge will encourage me to get them painted! Now, should I do the Warriors or Kataphrakts first???

Excellent, I've got some Orcs that need doing for my campaign.

Not sure if I'll go with Grishnakh or the Barrow Wight so I put 'em both in there. And obviously only seven of the trackers.

If I do war of the rings should I include the tray with the models once painted

You can include movement trays if you wish too. Please note that completed pictures submit via attachment will not be eligible for the vote. Use an image hosting site such as photobucket.

Here the mighty tunnelfighting team of the smaugbusters.

@Wolftooth - Welcome to the challenge, liking the freehand buddy. First thing I would suggest is rotate the pics so they are the right way around ;-)

. You will need to use an image hosting site such as photobucket to upload pictures to the thread in order for your finished pictures to be eligible for the vote at the end of the month. Any problems shoot me a PM.

My "warband" contains:
-Shagrat, War leader

-2 Orc Trackers
-2 Hunter Orcs

I have my proof pic right here if this is allowed:

Who knows, might actually finish these in time.
A White Council warband (well, army really: 600-650 points right there!)

karavatis · **Posted:** Wed Jun 10, 2015 6:27 pm

Hi everybody
I think I'll participate with some orcs on wargs, when I finish the conversion work I'll upload the photos.
I'll use the same minis for the S&C Challenge of June-July, I hope this is ok.

Hello. Sorry to announce but I am pulling my entry due to not being happy with the troops and as I am on holiday next week I won't have time to re-do the troops. I am a tad ocd with how things look. Will likely be back next month :-(
