Moustaches  ::)
lol

Personally, I think the LPL should have two separate competitions: the painting, preceded by a tournament in which you are matched up randomly with another contestant, and have to produce the most long-winded, obscure and petty argument related to the rules. We could have ‘theme’ rounds too, such as ‘Background layout’, ‘Do elaborate bases count as separate figures?’ and ‘What really defines a moustache?’...
I told you so. You damned fools.

Have we ever had "Last Stand?"

Specific yet broad enough to encompass every genre. Could lead to some lovely little compositions, too.

"Last Stand" is a great idea, Plynkes. Broad enough (in terms of periods/types of models/etc.) yet wonderfully specific!

"Captives and Captors" and "Survivors" are also nice ideas - for similar reasons - but "Last Stand" offers a great narrative element for entries.

Last stand seems like a perfect choice for the last round which usually involves scenery and multiple teams.

There's been a scene from a film in the past but what about something from a painting - or is that too narrow?

Strange thought, and I'm a bit unsure if it has been done already, but how about the theme "East"? It's rather broad and covers a lot of various things :)

I can't wait to see what is chosen for this years LPL themes.  To pick 3 from the many suggested seems an brilliant job to have - but I guess it'll be taxing a few brain cells at the moment.

My choice of three, based on nothing except blind prejudice and what is written in this thread:

Monochrome
The East (extra bonus for eastern enemies)
Civil War (extra bonus for both opposing sides, second extra bonus of associated equipment group or vehicle)

Ohh I like the idea of putting in a top 3, especially as I cant add anything original!! :D

I think...

Survivors
Civil War
Last Stand

All really awesome and nicely broad covering almost all genres!

Lots of good ideas in this thread :)

I particularly like 'Last Stand' and 'One's own country's historical event'. The last option would surely result in a round filled with nice entries about lesser known historical events. It's also broad enough to fit in loads of different stuff.

Another idea: 'Boardgame Miniatures'
I would guess everyone of us has one or more boardgames lying around with miniatures that he or she has been meaning to paint months/years or maybe aeons ago, like Zombicide, Doom, Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest, Talisman or from way back Heroquest, Star Crusade. There should be enough to choose from 8)

How abt something from your own country's history? Anything that comes from an actual historical period, so as to prevent cavemen from entering the picture...

I think considering the whole thing recently about Space Marines, Amazon, Games Workshop and an a previously unknown book 'Spots space marine'; I think a theme around 'space marines' ought to feature reclaiming the term for the good of the whole community not just a 'little' niche of it ;) It could then include VSF, retro sci-fi, Aliens, Starship Troopers, etc.
