Lead Painters' League Season 6 Rules

[Hammers]

But The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are Tolkien's translations of The Red Book of Westmarch (which was actually written by Hobbits), so they're out too. 

Doesn't leave much for folks to paint.

Now it starts. I'm surprised it's Dylan.

I’m surprised too, I’ve expected you, Peder.

[Lowtardog]

Hmm may actually give me a kickstart as painted grand total of 8 miniatures last year

Ouch.

2. If the first three rounds are all new teams, I suppose no bonus points are awarded for any of those rounds. Rules say this only applies to first round, so maybe you need to update them.
 

Hmm..good point, didn’t think about it. Will talk to Richard and Ray and get back to you.


I would think that if all first 3 teams are new then those bonus points are negated until round 4. So if you were to box clever your choice on submission for round 3 should be the best of the bunch if you are unable to submit a new team for round 4.

The deadlines for Season Six will be as follows:

Round 1  Saturday March 3
Round 2  Saturday March 3
Round 3  Saturday March 3
Round 4  Saturday March 24
Round 5  Saturday April 1
Round 6  Saturday April 7 
Round 7  Saturday April 14
Round 8  Saturday April 21
Round 9  Saturday May 28
Round 10 Saturday May 5

Shouldn't Round 5 be Saturday 31 March (1 April is a Sunday) and Round 9 be Saturday 28 April?

Greetings

concerning round 5:

Yes, it’s valid, how said above we only don’t want the “warhammerish” minis from the last 15-20 years.

So that implies the whole LOTR Range GW put out under New-Line licence if I understand this correctly. Or are those, facsimiles of the Peter Jackson Movies, allowed ?

Not really thinking about entering those minis, but just pointing this out.

Jo

[Plynkes]

Seems quite clear to me...

Please note that this does not extend to the Games Workshop Lord of the Rings range - you are free to use those.

Sure, thanks, Steve!

Yes, allowed

[Wirelizard]

I can easily understand the rest of the crackdown on "photoshoppery" but the ban on "The addition of graphic elements, such as text banners, "comic book" layouts" is going to cramp a lot of people's usual style and reduce the storytelling elements of the LPL, which has always been one of my favourite elements.

That reservation notwithstanding, awesome to see LPL back! I doubt I'll be entering this time, for a variety of reasons, but can't wait to see everything start up in March!

[Heldrak]

Everything written by Tolkien but not his translations like Gawain and the Green Knight.

Father Cristmas Letters would be fine.

My personal kudos to anyone who dares to field teams from Smith of Wooten Major or Farmer Giles of Ham 

[artshiraz]

Sheesh 

Seems quite clear to me...

I need new glasses 
Thank you
Jo

Back again to this question. Yes, you're right, as the first three teams have to be newly-painted, it wouldn't make much sense to give any "newly-painted" bonus. Rules updated. Thanks for the hint.

On the other hand, it will not make a difference in the outcome if you keep the points. You would get a comparability between seasons if you keep them, which could be beneficial for coming organizers.

It's not really possibly to compare the seasons as we have extented this time the voter bonus points to max of 20. And in the Season 1 and 2 we've got only a max of 5.
