I took the liberty to post a newsflash about LPL5 over at TGN.

Saw it, still not sure what noncoms I could paint.  Do Zombies count as non-combatants?  I have so many things I need to paint, I volunteered to run a game at a con so I have to make sure everything is OK and looking good for that, plus find time to run a test game...

With Orks and Goblins getting a new book, I wouldn't be surprised if I painted something for that army, alas they don't really fit into fives...  I have to read the fine print about stuff that I've painted before the competition starts again...

Finally got the more or less definitive `planned` list made up now, after scrumaging through bits boxes, digging in heaps of the Lead Mountain mountainchain and sponsoring archeological expeditions to the bottom of the pile.

Three more weeks now and I can start painting for the LPL hoozaaah (nothing fancy, i just try for myself to always do things in the week in between each round, not to prepare in advance apart from opening from blisters and gluing parts together - yes, I`m weird  lol)

I'm afraid not. Any combatants of any kind involved in a conflict are not considered civilians. Civilians are the innocent bystanders in the background that really can't harm a fly.

I'm in. Round 1 & 5 already planned & on the painting table. Just don't know what I will do for round 10 yet. I have to get all the bonus points I can just to keep me off the bottom.

Just signed up for the site- and off course I'll join the league!

I love the themed rounds, makes me paint mini's I wouldn't otherwise and keep it a week's worth. Now to find them...

As long as she doesn't try to safe her little daughter I'd say yes.  :D
I think this discussion is kind of fruitless as the good captain has already written everything there is to say about it.

Looking forward to another round of LPL.  I'm quite happy to write off my productivity on Mondays, as I eagerly check the entrants and revisit favorites!

That excuse won't run with your boss this time - this year, stuff will go up on Sunday (which I applaud wholeheartedly, gives an extra "jolt" to, in my book, an otherwise quiet day).

Another Lead Painters' League, I love it! I missed out on LPL4 because I didn't really have time at the moment it started, but this time I'm armed and ready! I really like the bonus rounds and I think I can find something that fits in my collection and in the bonus themes. Time to get started! 8)

Welcome on LAF Byzantane. You won’t regret entering the LPL it’s a really friendly comp and it does force you to paint more figures in a relatively short time 8)

Seems to be a lot of people saying they are going to enter this year. How many do me think we will have this year.

You've still got a few weeks until the start. Do those four later round entries now.

Thanks for the encouragement Gents

I think I could manage 6 entries before I leave and maybe one on my return. Have to buy some civillians and something new from Africa ( I wanted both anyway) and get cracking, have enough other stuff lying around in the painting queue will just try and paint 5 of each rather than finish whole units like I normally would do o_o

Nobody will mind if you have a few repeat entries. Better to have six or seven entries from you than none.  :)
