I do have plenty of stuff in my lead mountain that has been there at least 20 years. But why stop there I think I can dig up stuff that is over 30 years old.

... Quite like the idea of painting an older figure (I've got a couple of Ral Partha medievals somewhere  :) )

I've got some too... well I've got lumps of lead that were suppose to be medieval figures ;)

Cool, I know a person or two that could help me get my hands on carved figures from the stone ages… Imagine the bonus points I could get! lol

Now that is a good idea... Maybe figures at least 20 years old  ::)

That isn't fair! Even though I've been painting figures for over half my life I don't own anything nearly this old! Oldest I can do is some GW "Classic" guard (the metal cadains etc).

Damned old people.

Heh heh heh... You young 'uns  ;)

Maybe it could just be any out of production figure then...

Don't forget, you can easily buy lots of very quaint - and very old - primitive wargames figures on eBay for an absolute pittance. Just do a search under 25mm rather than 28mm and you will come up with huge numbers of old style figures from long vanished manufacturers...  ;)

But no need to fret - no decisions will be taken until the next LPL which will not be for a long time yet!

Hmmmm...

Laserburn stuff sitting in the cupboard...  lol

Edit: shit me, I just realised 20 years ago was 1990! I keep thinking 80 or 85...

I'm getting old.  ;D

Isn`t 2011 the 150 year anniversary of the (more or less active) start of the ACW with Fort Sumter in April 1861, so maybe a bonus round could be `dedicated` to it, like paint a unit in blue or gray and get 5 points, paint an actual ACW unit and get 10?

Howe about a non-humans round?  This might include anything from animals, to Greys, to orcs, to Quar, etc.

Yep, but that's a much longer wait!

Howe about a non-humans round?  This might include anything from animals, to Greys, to orcs, to Quar, etc.

That's also a good idea, IMO, but I doubt many people here actually have many 'non-humans'. There's a lot of colonials, pulp and VSF gamers that wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. No problem with that, of course.

These are all great ideas, perhaps use them in the next LPL. I wanna enter next time!!!  :D

I would quite seriously consider that a great idea. How well you paint nudes is to me very much a indication of your level as a painter.

Or how much your hand shakes while you're painting it!  ;D
I don\'t know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.
