Lead Painters League Season 7
« on: March 15, 2013, 09:22:08 AM »
I'm very glad to announce the Lead painters' League Season 7!

As Alex, Richard & Ray are expecting to be rather busy for the next few months, I have poked my head above the parapet to run this years contest - please be gentle with me!

The rules are broadly the same as last year, but please read through them carefully:   http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51649.0

As in LPL6 the main points are:

1) The number of entrants will be limited to 50.
2) To qualify for participation in the League you have to enter 3 new teams by the start date.
3) Registration for Season 7 of LPL is only possible in a 5 day window (8th April-13th April 2013).
4) Any "Photoshop" manipulation of the photos is not allowed.


This thread is for general discussion on the LPL7.
All your rules questions should be posted here:    http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51649.0


As usual we ask you all to be careful with your comments on the running entries. Keep your comments constructive. Feel free to tell us your opinion about entries, but DON'T post any comments with any sort of "quality comparison" of the pics.

Some "no-go" examples:
- Entry A is great but I have to vote for entry B, this is so much better.
- Well entry A is so manifestly superior to entry B, that I cannot understand why so many people are voting for entry B.
- Entry A is running for the third time, so I give my vote to the Entry B, it's a newly painted one.

Any comments of this or similar sort will be deleted/censored without warning.

And now get painting. Good luck to everyone!

Awesome! Thank you generous Overlord for taking on the daunting task of running the LPL 7. I have read the rules and can't wait to get started.

Well, frankly, I have started of course, but now I can bite into the bonus rounds as well.

Drat, no luck with the bonus rounds this time. :'( At the moment I'm trying to get my skirmish projects restarted. It's hard to make a command group if five models is the group. And civil war...no recognisable wars around here. I guess sci-fi is more skirmish-friendly but it's not on my project list either. Doesn't help in reducing the lead mountain if I have to increase it by a few dozen models first. :? Well, I'll see if there's something suitable...and schedules don't murder me so completely like they've done all winter.

Good call on the comment censorship.

Shame it's not starting after Salute but I probably wouldn't get something done for every round anyway  lol

cheers

Oh boy... I've got rd 1 and rd 10 covered, but rd 5 will take some creativity.

Still on the fence regarding participation though. Will have to think long and hard on that. Looking forward to a spring time full of eye candy though!

Nice!

Thanks for taking this upon you overlord

I have a lot of not finished projects standing on my painting desk that are really looking forward to being finished. Off course nothing that can be used for round 1,5 and 10 so I still have some work cut out for me. Part of the fun also comes from the frantic painting and I'll try reach a nice stress level with trying to build a lot of scenery. lol

Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

I also would like to thank to Paul (Overlord), actually without him stepping in we wouldn't have any LPL this year.

Good Luck, Paul!

Thank heavens!   :)
