2010 Brush Off!

[LidlessEye]

It's high time for another painting contest!  This month, we want you to paint any one pack of Strange Aeons figures.  Conversions are acceptable so long as the model remains clearly recognizable as belonging to the Strange Aeons line.  You can either post a picture here or send it to contests@strange-aeons.ca.  Entries will be judged on December 1st, so get painting!

The prizes:
1st Place - Our next three miniature releases
2nd Place - Our next two miniature releases
3rd Place - Out next miniature release

"any one pack" - does that include the Yellow King from the magazine?

[Uncle Mike]

Nope...sorry. Just any one of the packs from the line of figures. So, Lovecraft and Zombie Lovecraft are out as well as the Suicide Cultist...

[Sheerluck Holmes]

Oh well... next time maybe

[Anatoli]

Quick question as this will be my first time participating in the contest.

Pictures, is it 1 single photo only. Or can it be "1 picture" containing multiple smaller picture showing details and the model from all angles? I myself would at least want to show the front and back of the miniature 

[Uncle Mike]

As this is our first painting contest we are pretty light on the rules...that said, I would like to see one large photo and some smaller detail shots if you desire. Scenery is optional...pretty much I just want to see some painted figures that are better than the ones I paint ( ). Also, we will be populating our gallery with these images. Really excited to see what everyone produces.

I should also note that I am judging all entries based on what I 'like'...which may include, good paintjob, neat photo, cool colour choices, conversions, general eldritchness...so, anything really. Who can say what's wrong with my brain or how I shall vote on the day...

One entry per person? 

[Uncle Mike]

I wouldn't stop you from entering twice...with two different entries.

[Anatoli]

I hope this picture is OK, otherwise I will take new ones tomorrow when my camera batteries have fully recharged.

[Uncle Mike]

Those look great!

Two entries so far...keep 'em comin'.

[Wirelizard]

No WIP pics, but my Werewolf is coming along satisfactorily... despite a stretch of looking worryingly like a Giant Wereraccoon while I worked on the face!

(wolves often seem to be darker-furred around the eyes. For a while this one had a flat-out raccoon mask going...)

Hello,

My name is Elton and I have had the honor of playing some Kulten with Uncle Mike as he develops and playtests the rules.  I am not a big Cthulhu guy (getting better) but when Mike said I could give automatic weapons to mummies I was hooked.

Here is my painted Assorted Undead pack #1.  The construct and conglomerate are unchanged but the mummy has been given a .30 machine gun and is currently creating havoc for cultists everywhere...







Updated - better pictures of my Kult members looting a rival lair after a victory...

[Uncle Mike]

I'm gonna burn you on this Sir. You will hafta enter one picture as opposed to three...
love that Mummy, but not on the battlefield...

[Basement Dweller]

I knew that was coming.  The battery died in my camera as I playing around and totally forgot to get a group shot.  Will get a group shot done up before the deadline...

[Uncle Mike]

Still time to get your entries in! Win eldritch prizes!!!
