Alrighty then, Thanx for the lightning response tho! And now I get it, 5 vs 5, simple! Thanx. I should have seen that. In fact I did count them, 5 vs 5, and didn't make the connection.

You could also do 5 vs. 2, 1 or 1000 as long as there is at least one team of five or more models

Professor, is it allowed to e-mail you new, hopefully better pictures for round 2 and 3. And if the answer is yes, when do you want them. I discovered that my skills for taking photographs need to be upgraded quickly

It's allowed. Any time before start of the round.

thank you, I just send you the e-mail with better pictures

another question about terrain:

except maybe for the special round 10, where there is a bonus for the transport-vehicle ... WIP-Terrain is not a problem?

I am asking, cause I'm thinking about another "navy-team" (NOT in round 10!) and a deck under the team's feet would be cool, but that one isn't finished.
I am not sure, if many would realize the WIP-state of the ship, but I like to know in advance and for sure.

best wishes and thanx!

The rules state that:

"All figures must be completely painted"

It also refers to the use of terrain being allowed as a backdrop for your photo, but does not stipulate that it must be completely painted.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a portion of a ship you wish to use to showcase your minis (even though it may not be completely finished), there would be no problem with this.

Here's how I see it, I may be wrong:

The "no WIP" rule is intended for a "previously unpublished" bonus. As long as you have five previously unpublished models in your round 10 entry you can get the new team bonus. The naval theme bonus does not need to be all new so as long as your scenery (the WIP deck of the ship) looks good it shouldn't interfere with either bonuses.

The ship wouldn't count as a previously unpublished model in round 10 but it's still eligible for the naval bonus points.

No WIP allowed, as stated in the rules. Finished models and figures only.

It may be a loophole in the rules, that they do not also say 'no WIP terrain - if you include terrain in your picture', but i think the intent is fairly clear. We want pictures of finished stuff only in the LPL, not half finished stuff, be that figures, vehicles, animals, boats or trees!

I see the point!

I like to explain, that the intended ship-model will not be painted anyway - not now, not ever

- because it is a wooden model of a real historical sailing ship, so ... ^^
But since it is "WIP" status (in the model-crafting way) there are some areas which are not finished at the moment. In detail there are some ropes and other stuff missing.

hm, I'll have to think this through ... and I am NOT talking about my dwarven steamer. THAT one I hope to finish for the last bonus ... though I am not sure how to put it on the 800pixel limit ... hnhnhn ... maybe 8000pxl?

But thanks for the statements, I will search for an apropriate angel for my angels - or build some new boats °_O

best wishes

I don't think you should worry about it too much. If you're using a section of a ship as terrain, then it doesn't really matter if the entire model is finished or not (after all, who would know, if it isn't all in the picture).

But the bit you include in the picture certainly needs to be painted / finished.

The short answer is that everything that appears in a LPL picture should look good! And that means we don't want to see unfinished or half-painted bits of model, figure, bases or scenery in the picture. Simple as that really
