The Lead Painters' League Season 7 - Rules

[Overlord]

@Pendrake
As Pil said, it is OK for vehicles (of all types) to be unbased.  You may build a temporary display base if you wish, but it is not a requirement of the contest.

Hi,

just one question about the submission procedure: You first state that all three teams must be submitted by April 8, 19:00 GMT, but shortly afterwards you also say that "All entries must be emailed as jpeg attachments to lpl@leadadventureforum.com and must meet a previously-specified deadline - namely 12.00 GMT on the Saturday before the ensuing round opens on Sunday."

Is there a contradiction or am I missing something? Thanks!

[Blue in vt]

A minor clarification for me as well....do painted based casualty figures count toward the team total?

thanks guys....I'm already painting furiously! 

Cheers,

Blue

Where? The first post of this thread says in its step two:

2. You may not enter your LPL7 registration pics before Monday 8th April, 19.00 pm GMT. Any earlier entries won't be accepted.

Where "may not enter -- before 8th" in everyday logic is roughly equivalent to "may enter on 8th or later". The next step, curiously also numbered two, says:

2. The deadline for the first round is Saturday 13th April 2013, 12.00 noon GMT.

Or like the general announcement words it,

Registration for Season 7 of LPL is only possible in a 5 day window (8th April-13th April 2013).

And finally,

The first round of the first season will start on Sunday 14th April, 2013.

So I'd answer

Is there a contradiction or am I missing something? Thanks!

with "no" and "yes", respectively.

This post looks stripy.

1.   All applicants MUST submit THREE newly-painted (previously unpublished) teams in time for the first round.
2.   You may not enter your LPL7 registration pics before Monday 8th April, 19.00 pm GMT. Any earlier entries won't be accepted.
3.   The deadline for the first round is Saturday 13th April 2013, 12.00 noon GMT. Remember, you must submit THREE teams by this date.
4.   You MUST specify which of these THREE teams is to participate in the first round, which in the second, and which in the Third.

Entries may only be submitted from 1900 hrs on 8th April until 1200 hrs on 13th April, or until all 50 places are taken up.  The earlier you submit the better your chance of being accepted.

The first contest then begins on 14th April, as I need time to set up the matches etc.

Yes.

Round 10 question,

Is this a big enough model to count as 'large alien beast' Or does it need to be bigger?



It is on a 40mm base, I do have a tank as back up in case it is a no!

[Hammers]

May I suggest that specific entry question are done via PM? We don't want to spoil the surprises, do we?

It is pretty much a 'standard' miniature with a very big gun, so doesnt really meet the criteria unfortunately.  To get the bonus requires something rather bigger.  The tank is entirely acceptable.

I will happily answer entry specific queries via PM

Sorted. Thanks!

Thats my entries all lined up.

Question that arose as I rummaged through the lead mountain just now... could four captors + captive satisfy the "team of five" requirement?

I only have four of a particularly cool figure, can you tell?

[Captain Blood]

could four captors + captive satisfy the "team of five" requirement?

Not really, according to the rules:

'The team should represent an homogenous group, not antagonists from the same period'.

Fair enough.

As soon as I posted the question I thought, "You know, if you have to ask, the answer should probably be 'no'..."

[Pil]

Well, you could always look for another four captives and make that the team.

Adding a vehicle sometimes works too, but it's not always appropriate

[Time and Space]

Fair enough.

As soon as I posted the question I thought, "You know, if you have to ask, the answer should probably be 'no'..."

Could your Cool 4 be trying to free the captive, their mate?  They would all be on the same team that way.
