800x800? I suppose it depends on your monitor settings, but pics that big don't fit on the forum pages when viewed on my PC. 600 wide is about the biggest I can get away with.
Though you might consider 0600 GMT on Sunday so the Yanks have all of Saturday to finish and submit their entry.
That doesn't fit on my screen, Captain. I have to go up a few resolution levels to get it to, and now all the text looks weird and I'm sure will give me a headache. ???
What resolutions do other folks use? Mine is set at 1024x768, and as I said before, I need to restrict pics to about 600 pixels in width (more like 610 actually) for them to appear on the LAF without a scroll bar. Am I stuck in the Dark Ages of screen resolutions? If so then don't worry about the 800x800 thing! :)
... I'm not one of those types who replaces their computer at the drop of a hat. I wait until it doesn't work any more, or smoke starts coming out of the back. :)

I've never painted a mounted figure and am unlikely to start now, so my upcoming suggestion isn't intended to benefit, specifically, me. You might consider changing the rules of the Round 5 "hoseback" bonus to include any animal-mounted figures, whether on camels, elephants, donkeys, terror birds, etc.I quite agree.
Although I'm not sure if I'll have enough spare time to participate this time.
Question about round One bonus. It used to be that there was no “new” bonus for round one. In which case I, for example, could enter my recently posted Germans and gain the Round One (German) bonus. But it was impossible for me to gain any points for a never-seen-before image.

Up at the top of the site, just under the banner, it says: "The Season 2 of the Lead Painters League is closed." You might wish to change this to something like: "The Season 3 of the spectacular, wondrous, famous-around-the-world, Lead Painters League is now underway".
Now - please no-one come back and ask if they can be 'robotic-animal mounted' or mounted on vehicles, because the answer's no!There goes my idea for round five. I guess I will have to learn how to paint horses.
Germans are fine, I'll take some wall paint and splash it right over Grimm, Hazel, Driscoles, Chris & Mike D. McBride :D

Yep. It's on the list to be done. Thanks Mancha. We'll also see if we can drop a PM out to every member to let them know it's happening...
Wow! You took my advice literally. I wasn't exactly expecting that. Correcting my own statement, I don't think we need the "The" at the beginning. Shit, is "underway" really all one word? :)
IM not quite getting how this works:
Do we submit the same picture each round or must we come up with a fresh set of 5 painted models each week for the course of the competition?
only one entry per round?
I'm in for this season too. Horsed may be a problem (I hate painting horses), but I'll field something mounted for that round ...
I think you are going to have your work cut out Capt. and there will be an unprecidented amount of participants
May even have a go myself
If my team is in a boat and both are painted/built by me does the boat qualify as part of the team? or is it scenery?
It combines also nicely with my battle against the Lead Mountain.

Yes, I think quite a few participants look on the LPL as a bit of a forced march to drive inroads into their tottering lead mountains... ;)
Of course, if we all spent as much time actually painting, as we do chatting online... ::) lol
Thanks Ray and Mac - I think that's all correct ::)
Just a point - of course it doesn't have to be five figures in a 'team', it has to be 'at least' five figures. But it would be lovely to see a few units with more figures than that :)I'm in for this season too. Horsed may be a problem (I hate painting horses), but I'll field something mounted for that round ...
Good man, Bullshott. (I'm expecting Venusian terror birds - just a wild guess ;))

Yerrrssss...
Ah well, the more the merrier, eh?
Let's face it, it's only a question of doing a draw, uploading a few pics and updating a few scores...
What could be difficult about that? :D (Famous last words)
I could have sworn you were in season 2, weren't you Svennn?
I think you beat me, you swine ;)
With the bonus rounds - 5 & 10 will you still be awarding the "new" bonus points if the team has not been seen before? (I'm sure the prof did last time. Not sure about Season one though.)
And if yes how will round 10 work?
....
Round 10 - bonus points for the...as already discussed. 10 bonus points for new if one team of five unseen? or all teams..?

Just to clarify, it is the models themselves, not the specific picture, that needs to have not been pictured online before in order to get the bonus points, yes?
Do centaurs count as "Mounted"?
Now it's my turn to be akward ;D
Do (motor)bikes count as mounts...?
(I thought hell yeah, untill you started talking about one life form sitting on top of another)
Why don't people want to paint horses?
I'm seeing this as an opportunity to learn how to paint them. :)

We don’t see too many horses around here, so bonus points in round 5 will be awarded to teams with five or more mounted figures. They don’t have to be regular cavalry – they can be tribesmen, cowboys, reivers or rough riders. Or any type of uniformed cavalry.
If you really can't bring yourself to attempt horses, then other real and fantasy animal mounts will be permitted
Why don't people want to paint horses?

I think some people are forgetting that no one is forcing anyone to paint horses. You can enter whatever you like within the general terms of the competition. You just won't get any extra points for it.
I always saw the competition as a way to promote a prolific output of *various* wargames miniatures to a high tabletop standard. One hopes that the very best painters with broad range and high turnover wins. I get inspired by that it can be done.
I would not call it a forced march, I enjoy the LPL too much for that, but I can imagine that for some people it might feel that way. Chatting does not reduce painting time by much though. I can chat at work without a problem, but I don't know if it would be tolerated if I started painting.... ::)
Heh, OK, OK, OK... fair enough. 8)
Calimero, what about german cavemen on horses?
What is the soonest you will accept entries?

No one likes a show-off you know. ;) :)

do I have to register to join in with this?
thanks for that, one last question, before I start daubing, can I miss a round?
Half finished my round one entry...how 'bout you?
Why I oughta! I'll be done round 1 this afternoon...lots to do I guess...
I'm hoping for a super turnout this year. And an excellent competition with some of the best gentlemen in the hobby.
Just a short question: Do Condor Legion Advisors also count as germans?
Did they wear German uniforms?
If you're asking whether it's okay to enter a team of cowboys and saying they are German cowboys from Milwaukee...you won't get the Bonus Points...
When is the soonest we can enter pictures for a round? I ask since work may call me out of town and I might miss submitting pictures! Might be nice to ba able to subbmit early.
Bill
Just re-read the the beginning, its Germans for round 1. Will get some Germans out to paint, possibly WW1 or 2.
Okay everybody... Starts 3 weeks tomorrow (or today, depending where in the world you are ;))
No pressure! lol

Pfew... good to hear. I never thought about the lead/plastic debate...
It's only joking. :) Personally, I often use plastic bases. ;)
Oh poo! Just realised paints are in plastic pots o_o
You know, if the SW African Camel Corps I bought years ago from HLBS were in better shape, I might consider those for the mounted round, too. Going to have to find some way to get more of those guys, regardless.
-Doc
Use Reaper's paints, they come with little metal mixing balls in them already!They do. I transferred a complete set of the older ProPaints into dropper bottles a few years ago and I now have a paintpot full of Gruesome Severed Head Agitators (TM).
Actually, I've heard that Reaperś mixers are little cast pewter 28mm skulls, but I have yet to actually use any of my Reaper paints off to check this rumour!
A fast question : can we publish WIP pictures on our blogs/webpages (not finished miniatures) and still get the bonus for "brand new never seen before on the net" miniatures ?
IF and only if I manage to get them done on time I'll be (sigh) into a new area for me - WWWII Germans. The best I can do is promise 'weird'. I'm aiming to get a laugh at least. :)Mine were certainly Weird.
Ah good. Weird is good. :DIF and only if I manage to get them done on time I'll be (sigh) into a new area for me - WWWII Germans. The best I can do is promise 'weird'. I'm aiming to get a laugh at least. :)Mine were certainly Weird.
Woohoo, entry one has finally been entered :)
My entry away.
Did you get it Captain?
Just sent in my first few entries...
will be mailing in round 1 later today. Round 2 is done and will send that in as well.
Entries for Rounds 1-5 inbound.
Just to give you an update... 22 combatants have thrown their hats into the ring so far, and we still have a couple of days to go before entries to round 1 close. So I'm expecting a good field :)
Lots of very nice entries to look forward to. And all German (more or less!) ;)Woohoo! Does that mean my entry qualified as such?

Will we be able to play "Wheres Wally" with the bulldog this season?
We have 42 participantsThat can only be good... ;)

No Grimm this time?
Blimey, it continues on to the second page. Hope those ones don't get neglected by the voters.
What are the voting criteria? I was under the impression that the terrain and backdrop were more incidental - thus I used a white background to better show off the figures instead. It appears that this is costing me dearly.
All that aside, Capitan Blood if you are listening I think it would be a good/nice idea if you could at least list the SCALE of the figures in the description (IE: 28mm, or 15mm Russian Cav) so that people could more accurately judge the painting of the figures.
Does anyone else think it's possible that some of us vote for painters as opposed to teams?

@ Froggy and Vonkluge: look at this match, it's the perfect example that even group shots without any backdrops or scenery will win if enough voters like them: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10668.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10668.0) :)
And I really hope that everybody here, participants and voters, reminds himself that the Lead Painter's League is primarily for having FUN ..., in painting, voting for and looking at so many marvelous painted miniatures!
:)
Right. There have been a few posts which made me wonder whether there was a substantial cash price this year that I was not aware of. :)
Seriously though, I'm a competitive sort, so I really don't mind other people who also take it seriously and have a legitimate view about what might be done differently.
There will be no changes to the rules - certainly not while the season is running anyway. So best not to ask ;)
Try to just enjoy :)
If you think about it, presenting the names of the entrants serves no purpose whatsoever, other than letting people know that the entry is painting by someone we know, respect, and consider ourselves sort of "friends" with (in that weird online way).
Gee... If that is true people must really hate me around here, at least during LPL S3R1. :)
I certainly wasn't pissed off 8) I think in the end everyone has their own interests, and I do agree that the way the voting happens here will result in a popularity contest (of pictures, not people) rather than an objective comparison of painting quality. But since the original intention of the LPL was to get away from painting competitions where the bestest painters float to the surface by spending large amounts of time on a single model. I really like the setup but then I have invested time in getting together a lot of scenery so I like to show it off as well. 8)

I think it's strange that we'd bend certain rules, however, but fail to recognize the value, and potential danger, of entrants' names.
You've done well in past LPLs, you're obviously a great (and imaginitive) painter with a sense of humor...

Gee, thanks! ;) lol
Personally, I look for the paintjobs first and the background secondly. However, a dramatic backdrop can enhance the atmosphere greatly and as such it often adds a lot to the painted miniatures.
thanks for the comments, lads! That was the basic idea of LPL, no anonymity, and I still like that. LPL for me is not a classical contest. LPL is a fun pastime for friends and usually the friends know each other.
I get the point but we won't change the rules :)

Random Question: If we've entered a different team for week2, can we post pics of our week1 entry elsewhere on the web, from Monday? Or do we have to wait until the end of the whole LPL competition?
On a similar subject, while I can't quite find it in the rules right now, just to remind everyone planning to participate, that it is 'not the done thing' to separately post extra pics elsewhere on this site, of a team that you have 'live' in the competition.
Clearly it makes a bit of a nonsense of the requirement to submit one image into the competition, if competitors are free to open up another thread on another board, and post loads of extra pictures of the same subject!
This removes the element of fairness from the competition, so I would kindly request that participants don't do this.
I know that most people know this already, and wouldn't dream - intentionally or otherwise - of influencing the outcome in this way. But maybe not everybody realises this, since I've seen it happen recently (not here in the LPL I should add).
Of course, once the week of the contest for that particular entry is finished, you should go ahead and post as many supplementary pics as you like in the appropriate board. :)
Personally, when I'm in a competition, I try to avoid posting the pictures anywhere else (including on other forums) until the competition is finished. But this is not a rule as such. I leave it up to your conscience lol
Thanks all :)
I'm evidently dense and blindTop Right of every page there is a link to the league.
Can somone point me to where I can see the entries (past and present)?
(Painted these five miniatures for the current Lead Painter's League. You'll have to paint five miniatures per week if you really want to compete. With ten rounds I can hope to clear out 50 miniatures from the unpainted pile! Each round you'll be paired against another person from the league. I assume the winner gets more points (never read the rules well :D)
A well, guess we won't see this happening again and Malebolgia will probably behave as a good boy form now on ;)
Quick question/suggestion, I know you have probably had enough of them to last a lifetime since agreeing to run the LPL3 compitition! I was wondering if since the last round has a possibility of haveing 10+ figures and a "large" beast in it we might allow two pictures for the last round? a group shot and then some closer small highlights shots? Just a thought, don't hang me.... ::)

You can, of course, embed highlight shots within your group shot, as I believe Hammers did in his Round 2 Chinese marketplace picture.
Yes Mancha I've done that too, I was just thinking it might be nice to have a little extra room for our last round considering it will be a crowed "frame" if people do paint all the figures possible and I'd like to see more of these great paintjobs! :o I did not to mean to suggest the types of shots only an additional 800x800 pixel shot for whatever. :D
I need a little bit of a rules clarification myself. In any round other than Round 5, does a mounted figure count as one or two of the five-man team? Obviously animals have been counting as one of the team, so presumably a figure on a mount would count as two, right?
It's pretty clear as laid out. 'Five or more mounted figures' it says. Two-and-a-half chaps on two-and-a-half horses is not five mounted figures.
Now's not the time to ask about Siamese twins I suppose ;)
...but I don't like the idea of a horse and rider counting as two team members personally.
Let's get a few more contestants and see if we can break the new server! Yay!
...or maybe not ;)

Hello all,
Just a few words to tell you that I coundn't take part in the two next rounds cause I have very importants job interviews in two weeks, and I have to prepare them seriously. So no time for painting at all (and to keep up to learn how to take photos).
I'm a bit sorry cause it was my initial goal to post 10 pics (and paint as much as possible). But never mind, when I saw the efforts Alex made to "save" the forum, I can't complaint : let's just say I missed you, chaps (and ladies !)
Au plaisir,
Matt
Captain, I need some clarifications about round 10 and the "beast"-part. You wrote "a large dinosaur, woolly mammoth, giant ape, or similar prehistoric leviathan". So what exactly is allowed? ANY large beast? A giant ape is not prehistoric, well, no more than a large spider. Or a human giant? A beast like the Rancor monster from Star Wars? A dragon?
8)
Questions over questions ...
...but I think one rule needs to be amended for future contest. Since we are getting a lot of votes the rule governing ties should really be based on a percentage % of diference insted of a hard number. That way it reflects the real difference in popularity based on number of votes cast. :) IMHO
...For my part, I’ve been wondering how our match earned about fifteen more votes than most other matches? I guess voters were inspired...
Also it being very close I’m sure both Mancha and I have friends here who come and cast just on our contest (did you know my mom is a member of LAF! Lol no just kidding!)
I'll have to reread the points system as I do not realy know about the awarding of points for views? I thought it was a award based on the difference in # of votes so that in a landslide the winner got more points?
I've just noticed something rather curious. ???
Looking at the voting for some (I didnt check them all) of the entries, I noticed that for all those I checked that the total of the 2 individual scores does not match the total displayed! It is out by one vote each time.
It makes little difference in the grand scheme of things, I assume its a small bug in the Polls calculation.
You know, I delete users with zero posts after 4 weeks after registration. That's the reason. The scores won't be calculated again but the total of the voters.
It was the hardest round yet for me.
Oh man. Why couldn't you lose the week where I was getting my arse kicked, not vice versa! lolBecause luck favours the Maltese... ;) ;) ;)
I would like to have some additional info on the rules regarding "New Team" in LPL. I know they aren’t suppose to be on the Net before the competition but can we post them elsewhere on the LAF during their current round in the LPL? :?
Paint a team of newly discovered primitives or prehistoric survivals and a team of five or more Lost World explorers and adventurers and get 20 bonus points.

Does said leviathan have to be depicted as alive or recently killed? I've got an idea for a confrontation over skeletal leviathanal remains.
What if someone couldn't really be bothered to paint a dinosaur and just fished one out of their kids toy box and posed some figures round it? ;)

Wheew, finished my round 8 entry last night. I had a couple of beers before I started painting but I think it worked out in the end :)
Eh.
Speaking as an occupant of the bottom quarter: I know my worth, and I'm just having fun with the LPL instead of obsessing over my ranking.
I am getting to thinking that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with the choices I have made.
I think it would be far kinder to recommend a metal plate under the feet that slowly heats up and only stops when the figure is finished.
Well I like it, you miserable bastards! lolWhere's the vomitting icon?
Well I like it, you miserable bastards! lol
As Round 7 comes to a close, it goes down as the best round of the League so far, at least for me.But I have to add I always look forward to finding Scooby :D :D
Congratulations to Grimm, Tellus, Plynkes and Chambers and their truly epic confrontations and beautiful brushwork.
No matter what the outcome, you folks are definately some of the best painters around these parts and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat all week long.
Great job guys!
But I have to add I always look forward to finding Scooby :D :D
Also, I've found a secret weapon. Play the following song on an endless loop and it makes you paint faster* (I'm the slowest painter in the world normally). Just like listening to Motorhead on the Autobahn makes you drive faster, this will make you work faster:

*Only trouble is, it will also drive you insane.

Having been experimenting with layouts, the biggest issue with doing a full blowout Lost World mess for Round 10 is going to be getting it all in inside the 800x800 image size limit we've got! Five explorers, five Lost World denizens, one leviathan critter, scenery so it doesn't look boring... not quite sure how it's all going to work in 800x800...
No way I can do this.Hey Ray look on the bright side - Scooby's done ;)
Have one and a half adventurers painted. Six primitives and large animal based and primed.
Disaster awaits... :'(

Exactly. I don't have a clue how I'm going to fit 11 miniatures in a shot and make them big enough to see well. I think I'll be doing one total shot for the coolness and one shot with closeup like I did for the 'The Sands of Time' entry. But it will be a difficult one!

Well, everyone who is trying to get all elements into the last round have the same problem so it is not 'unfair'.
I was thinking of it too. I think my main picture will have one group in the background just to keep the rest big enough, they'll have to get their attention elsewhere. Also, I plan to base my adventurers differently (to fit with other game systems) so I'll have to do something to hide the bases ;)
I suggest we can send in 2000 x 2000 images for round 10 for maximal enjoyment ;)One beastie left? Argh!
But yesterday went perfectly, almost like a Rocky movie where the situation seems desperate and suddenly he strikes back! I managed to finish all of my natives. I was surprised how fast they were done. Only beasty left!
Seven models done, five models near finished, I might make it after all :)No change since my last post, gulp :'(
How are you guys coping?
Oi.. there will be a lot of pygmies this round ;DNot mine...

but I think he's five hours behind

Explorers filled out with already photographed models. Had my hand caught in a car door, and once the sweeling goes down, I will be functional again, but for now, painting is not much of an option. I was almost done, too.Owww, hope you didn't bang the door hard Sinewgrab - I did that with a sliding door some weeks ago but this sounds worse. :o
But I did finish the last of my cavemen, and my big beastie.

Yep, 83 (I think) figures that I otherwise would never have painted in so short a time (or maybe even at all), plus I had a million miles of fun. Well worth it. Thanks everyone for a great time, and especially thanks to Blood for suffering through on our behalf all the headaches it has no doubt given him.
Now I'm bloody knackered, though, and never want to look at another flamin' figure again. :)
Not really: Starting tomorrow, I think I'm gonna try and keep the LPL ethos going for another few weeks and "pretend" that I'm still in it, so I can take advantage of my current high degree of enthusiasm and productivity and get even more done. Can't last though, I'm bound to slip back into my normal state of sloth sooner or later.
So when do we start season 4? ;) lol
