LEAD PAINTERS' LEAGUE 13 - GENERAL DISCUSSION

[Elk101]

They would be complete orphans. I haven't gamed any 'horror' or similar, for about 10 years, and I have no intention of doing so any time soon, so a bit of a waste of my painting time unfortunately.

Yes, it's just the theme bonus you'd miss out on, there is no obligation at all to stick to the themes.

[TaltosVT]

Well, I'm feeling pretty good.  I ordered some figures for the Gothic challenge yesterday, and going through my unpainted stuff this morning, I have enough to pull together six more teams.  Time to start shopping for something to fill those last three slots while my wife isn't watching.

[syrinx0]

I too ordered some more Gothic horror reinforcements.  Everything else will be coming from the lead pile.   

[Plynkes]

Bravo! I do think the LPL is a wonderful thing. Great to see her sailing again. It's very hard work, but also very fulfilling. I hope everyone who is considering entering does give it a try. Go on!


Good luck, everyone!

[Nord]

Decided it's not for me, very short notice and would have liked a fortnightly gap between rounds. Sorry guys. 

But good luck to all participants. 

[Elk101]

No need to apologise, we will clearly never be able to create ideal situations for everyone with so many views and opinions.

True that - also life will sometimes come up and slap you in the face with a wet towel when you think you're doing fine.  I had one I ended up dropping out of 4 teams in due to an injury.

I think I remember that actually!

[Sinewgrab]

Well, now I have all ~10 teams figured out, and 3-4 backups from an army I need to finish. I got sidetracked from my Teutonic Lion Rampant force when the ...gentleman... who had access to non-English websites and books ...critiqued... my color choices, but we are playing LR again, so back to the grind, I say!  If I'm not feeling one of my other choices, I'll try to get them finished.

[Wirelizard]

Awesome! LPL is back in the classic (best!) format! Thanks for running this, Elk101!

I've missed the last too-many LPL rounds but am going to try to get organized for this one. I have a lot of ECW figures that can act as non-themed round entries and probably enough lead mountain stuff to fill the rest in...

[Ethelred the Almost Ready]

Great to get this up and running again.
I would love to give it a go.  The only problems is over much of that time I will be away on holiday or recovering from shoulder surgery (my dominant arm).
Still, I can at least enjoy looking at all the great entries.

[Hammers]

Does Chthulu pass for Gothic Horror these days? Or are they separate beasts?

[Mr Tough Guy]

From the Rules thread:

I'd be fine with some Cthulhu related beasties. I played Cthulhu by Gaslight so the vibe can be very 'Gothic Horror'.

[Hammers]

From the Rules thread:

Do you suggest that I, *I*!, need to read the rules?

[OSHIROmodels]

Three teams done (sans basing for two of them), three around halfway there and the rest apart from one are primed.

I might actually finish this time
