This is an example, just to show you how will look like a competition fight :)

I am not keen on putting completion stress on my hobby projects (I have enuff of that at work), but if I can use previously completed but yet not revealed miniatures, this could be fun.

Of course, the whole competition thing should be just fun :-) And well, feel free to use your completed minis.

I like the idea, except that it will be like the Premier League used to be: Manchester United winning every bloody season, with the Prof. playing as them.

But yes, sounds like fun, providing I can just spectate and start fights on the terraces, and don't have to actually enter.

I say we handicap the regular picture posters e.g. they must use only 3 colours with tints and shades permitted :lol:

they must be limited to 30 minutres per figure :o

They may only use one hand whether painting holding, tunring the figure at all times :D

not necessary! you just need to win some rounds with high difference and put more teams then other guys and you would have more points though you maybe would lose a round or two :)

I think I'll pass as well. I'm a mediocre AND a slow painter, so the reasoning that "bad painters make up for it by cranking out more miniatures" doesn't really apply here. Some people are just more apt to miniature painting than others, I'm afraid  :|

To avoid this, there could be a "handicap" for the previous season top three, e.g. -60/-40/-20 points.

Maybe Polynikes, Rhoderic, and I will form a minor league. Every year one of the serious painters here will check in to see if we're showing signs of talent, then leave, assured that we are still wallowing in our mediocrity.

Otherwise perhaps the three of us can be the sportscasters of this fine event.

Oh, dear... This reminds me of Swedish kindergartens back in the early seventies where everyone was declared a winner in various competitions.
