MARCH Painting Challenge : COMMAND

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:09 pm

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

A maximum of 2 models can be entered in the challenge and the following combinations of models are acceptable from ANY faction of Middle Earth.

Hero
Unnamed Captain

plus one of the following

Banner
Hornblower
Drummer
Taskmaster
Second hero (must be from same faction as first hero)
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 March 31st 2017. 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!

Hopefully I can get things done this week.

Here is my proof picture. Lurtz and a banner bearer. Haven't painted Uruk-hai in ages! :-D

Not long to go! Here is the mighty Grimbold and his buddies (one of them will accompany him in this challenge) who will become the start of my Rohan army!

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Mon Mar 27, 2017 12:26 am

Here's my finished Uruk-hai command! I had forgotten how much I enjoy painting Uruk-hai, especially the war paint! :-D

Good luck everyone!

Oh, man! I've got to get with it. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight!

@Wah Wing -- Those Uruks look great. I love dirty and grime on the bottom of the banner.

Hope to see a few more last-minute entries!

Didn't think I had anything to enter, with various heroes and banners all from different lists (or already at some stage of the painting process), then remembered I had all kinds of unpainted minis from the old White Council list: ended up choosing Arwen and Radagast.

Goblin Town Crier · **Posted:** Fri Mar 31, 2017 1:33 pm

Wow this month is all about the last minute entries... and so is mine!
I almost got the banner bearer done too except for the actual banner.

Sweet entries everyone, good luck all!

I have painted up Saruman and Elrond as part of a white council warband. Would these count? Also, the before pictures are from their ebay listings, but they were both purchased about 10 days ago. Is this a problem?
