Just turned in weeks 3 through 5.  Only week 6 left to finish up.  Back to terrain for a couple of weeks.  I have another 40k tournament to run soon, and it might just be my biggest ever.

Aye, well done. Not as on top of it as you are. myself. Wish I was! I have Week 4 done. Weeks 5 and 6 are glaring at me accusingly from the painting table.

My secret, and also why I bring up the rear of these things, is I am a binge painter and a speed painter.  Working around doing terrain for my store and having three kids requires such.  Teams 1-5 were 90% done in 2 sittings, for better or for worse.

NOTE: Round 2 voting ends within the next 12 hours, so if you haven't already done so, VOTE NOW.

All entries for Round 3 received.  Well done everyone, no matter how busy you are! :)

My Round 4 minis are sat undercoated, taunting me.... ::)

Remember, the next round is themed:

Round 4 – Support weapon
Paint a team that comprises a support weapon and at least 4 miniatures representing the crew.  Examples would include an HMG, mortar or artillery piece.  At least 3 miniatures must be intrinsic crew/operators.  Additional miniatures might include an officer/commander, spotter, ammunition carrier or similar.  Rank and file troops do not qualify, nor do smaller weapons (2" mortar, LMG, bazooka, etc), these usually being 2-man.  The weapon should not be self-propelled (no vehicles), but might include draft animals or towing vehicles in addition to the weapon and crew.

The team may be based individually, on a single larger base, or a combination of both.  Entries from any genre; historical, fantasy or science fiction are permitted.  Submit an appropriate team and earn 10 extra theme bonus points.

It's becoming quite hard to follow the schedule, and I had to rush to finish this one. I decided to join in this year because it will likely last only 6 weeks. I have my fifth entry already secured, but will struggle to produce my sixth one. Moving my ideal from detailed paint brush to impressionism! :-D

I was a bit poorly at the start of the week, which has thrown me off schedule. I have taken the day off work today, hopefully a painting long-weekend will get me back on track.

If I can see it through to the end of the league stage I will be happy. After that God knows what's going to happen. Even if I'm in the knock-out stage, I may have nothing to show. But we'll see how it goes. :)



You can do it, Renaud! We believe in you!

still working on my round 4...luckily my country's midnight is an hour before the UK, which kinda gets me an extra hour. I might just make it.

After the initial two entries I thought I would be fine, but turns out I simply can't keep up with this. Too many other things at the moment that take priority, I'm afraid. To be done properly, this league takes careful planning and preparation in advance. I have enough older projects I can enter so I don't drop out for first 6 rounds, but such recycling misses the point of the whole thing. Oh well, there's always next year.

I's love to see your work in there, even if it is recycled at this point  :)
