Yep, me too! Can't get motivated to pick up a brush after the disaster of the Men in Black Bowler Hats incident. They are still haunting me the little buggers :x Good luck to everyone. I am looking forward to my monday morning dose of eye candy :)

*hammershield gives malamute a hard slap across, grabs his collars, shakes him vigorously and yells*: 'Snap out of it, man! You can do it! We all depond upon it! Be a man! Be a man who likes toys and painting!

What we need is to go on a bender. Get all that pent-up manliness out of our systems so we can return to demurely painting our little toy soldiers :P
Actually, shortly after saying I haven't painted anything for weeks, I returned to painting my Zamorian guards again (and this time I won't strip them, come what may!). But I still think competing in the league is out of my grasp unless I find some huge reserve of energy in me somewhere.
-
Nr.8 is in :D

Nr.9, 10 and 11 are in :o

Would just like to say a big thanks to all the chaps who have participated in this league. It really made my morning when i logged on and saw all these fantastic entries.
I really must paint some things up for next time.
Jolly good show to all.

-
I just finished my voting for the first round! and must congratulate the League Painters for their wonderfull job! hope the other rounds will be as good as this one!
some notes regarding the first round:
- I think I've voted on almost all the "free willy" submissions :D
- Damn you Hammershield for not letting me vote on the Portuguese :x , you did a truly magnificent work! :)
- For most of the submissions I had to use the overall background for a tie-break factor
Great Job! lovelly paintings and settings! looking forward to the next monday! :)
-
is it too late to enter.?
not it's not too late. You can enter teh Season 2. until May 11th.

bleedin heck and my Camera has just gone kaput :o :cry:
Haha - Karl, that's GOOD! We need to see some better pics of your stuff. Now you will have to get a nice new one :lol:
And better still, you'll have to take three months off buying miniatures to pay for the camera, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up on all that painting and photographing.
Don't forget, you need something called white-balance, something called variable depth of field focus, and something else called timed shutter release. Apparently these three will enable you to take tip-top pics of your minis every time.
(No, I don't know what the first two do either, and I don't have them on my camera, but that's what the ace mini photographers swear by... :wink: )

Not fair! How was it...? "Damned teutonic efficiency!" :cry:
Won't be able to get new entries for May 11... :cry:

9 :mrgreen:
-
Last night I photographed my entries for the next three weeks.
I will need that time to get five figures for the "Mad Science" round painted up. After that I have one more group, maybe, prepainted that I can photograph. After that I may be screwed.
-
I hear you, brother. I am applying the exact same strategy and I am limited to just a few already painted team and maybe one or two primed ones. Other than that I wont have them time. On the other hand I 've told myself that it I don't have anything I really want to show, why should I feel any preasure?
-
You feel pressure to paint because your conscience is encouraging you to excellence in your work. Little did you realize that the LPL would also be an exercise in Lutheran theology.
-
I submitted my first team last night. I'm participating in this in the hope of getting some painting done (having painted only one miniature in the past four years), as opposed to winning. I have a couple teams planned out that will consist mainly of things I painted years ago, with the addition of one or two newly-painted minis to round the collection out to five. I may end up submitting one or two teams from long ago. My real goal, however, is to complete one or two fresh teams. I'm a sloooooow painter though, so it will be a challenge.
-
I've noticed that I after last season have become more efficient in my painting. With a week or so to paint (roughly) and 10 weeks to plan ahead for, you obviously need to think things through. This habit has sort of stuck now and has replaced that monkey-se-monkey-do style of painting; you see something nice, you slap some paint on it with no clear purpose in mind, you get distracted by some other nice thing, reapeat...

I kind of like that style of painting. Because I don't actually play games with my minis, there's never a purpose for them except to amuse me for a while. :)
That said, I'd like to have more units/squads/teams, with a little more cohesion to my collection. I've always found it difficult to paint more than one mini at a time. Slapping paint on six of them for my first entry was truly difficult; paint drying up, trying to mix the exact same shade, etc. I'm discovering that two at a time is pretty good for me.

"No. 19". I did not participate last time so do not know how many entries was normal. What is the most ever in a round? Is 19 a high round?
Tomorrow is going to be fantastic viewing and probably lots of agonising voting
-
Yep, monday has become like the second Wednesday of the week while the LPL is on; not as good as a Friday but not nearly as bad as a ordinary Monday. :-)
-
Here we go again, four new participants, thus we are 28 this time 8)
Let's vote now!
-
:o Great entrys again guys :love:
-
Looking over the composition rules, I have a question. The rules state:
"...you may enter any assembly of miniatures, including humans, aliens, monsters, animals, robots, vehicles, ships, aircraft, spacecraft etc., or a combination thereof, for example a team of humans and animals or of humans and a vehicle (or multiple vehicles)."
By this, am I to understand that a vehicle counts as one of the five? For example, if I submitted a team of four explorers and their Model-T truck, would that be a valid team?
-
Well, there's this weeks entry in. I can concentrate on Real Life' (tm) now.
-
For example, if I submitted a team of four explorers and their Model-T truck, would that be a valid team?
yes.

I just bugged him about it, too. :)
-
What about a vehicle containing two figures? I only ask because I have an entry containing a 'steam velocipede'; basically a bike with sidecar/gunner guy, so there are two guys in the thing. I have a set of classic Deadlands guy done up to accompany but there are only three. So, being a chizzler, I'd hoped that 3 seperatly based figures and two more in a single vehicle would count for a set of 5...am I right? Or should I find and paint up another cowboy?

If a vehicle counts as one, and if the vehicle contains two figures, and if you add three more, then you have a six-figure team. If I understand the rules right, then it sounds to me as if you could get away with the bike and its two riders, and just TWO more figures on seperate bases. This would be a five-figure team.

exactly, I only hope that bicycle is big enough. If i'm speaking of a vehicle, I do mean something big ( a car, a tank etc.)
for example that sort of bicycle doesnt count as one:

btw, for the Round 3 the entries 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are in :mrgreen:
-
It is a bike like that...only steam powered (off the back) and with a sidecar (on the side...) Regardless of bike I will still have a 5 model team...i think. :?:

Cannot wait to see it! I´ve got one of those Steam Velocipedes myself and could kick myself for not buying a squadron when my then-FLGS cleared out their GRW stuff. Grrrr! :x
-
Love those Great Rail War figs!...I bought out all the figs I could find, the game is pretty cool as well. One of the few games where the fluff caught my attention. I've got a couple doubles and if there is anything that you absolutley must have why not give me a pm about it...I'm sure some blood can be drawn and a contract written up. :P
Should have a cople entries in LPL with GRW figs...at least two, possible more if the mood takes me.

A question.
When a brand new entry is posted can it be posted elsewhere once the round begins; or should I wait for the round to finish?

And a nice tank it is too 8)
Prof I'm curious - how long does it take you to prepare all the polls in a round for voting? And how do you mange to do this so early on a Monday morning?!
:o
I'm genuinely impressed by the work you put in organising this.
-
thanks! how said on the other topic, I do prepare the polls on Sunday and move them to the LPL board on Monday morning, as soon as I've put some pics of some guys who sent me their entries while I was sleeping :)
A round costs me about 7-8 hours incl. writing emails/preparing pics/starting polls/making table/etc.
-
And what the Prof doesn't say...
In addition to all that time and effort, the other cost is that he also pulls out his own entry if there is already an even number of other competitors.
True sacrifice. :cry:
Alex, we all know you're one of the very best painters here, and were you able to compete on an equal footing, you'd be in the top 3 for sure.
Thanks.

The first Mad science team for the Round 5 is in :love:

That is SO depressing :cry: I'm MILES away from being done.
Prof - the amount of time you spend on this is astounding - one big thank you. Isn't there a way to keep all your entries in - even in odd-participant rounds? I'm sure your models are more worth seeing than e.g. mine!

But given that I have zilch to show right now, that's alot of hot air. :(
