Lead Painters' League Season 6 Rules

[Prof.Witchheimer]

The Scibor ones are quite nice models but a slayer for Tolkien?..not really

I'm also not mad about the current GW LotR ones as they look too boring for my taste. My personal choice for the dwarves would be the old Citadel Adventurer dwarves, they have the right look to me:

That is a fair point!

The old citadels are quite nice. Still think there may be some definite wrongs and rights for this one all dependant on the interpretation. Can we submit models pre round 5 for approval before their final submission?

Well, not all Citadel ones would fit in the Tolkien world, I'm not much into all the things of the Middle-Earth but I don't think any fire weapons like muskets would be a good idea for this setting.

Yes, of course, submitting it's always a good idea, better to show the bonus round stuff before buying/painting.

Perfect, thanks for your time and paitience, time to get the brush out for the first 3 rounds or this entire conversation is moot!

Thanks again for the organising and awnsering my stupid questions!

Not wishing to stir the pot further here, but just to say that the Prof, Ray and I have debated this long and hard.
Basically, a horse and rider together (usually stuck together by most wargamers) are functionally, effectively one model - so one team member for the purposes of the LPL.
Indeed, some manufacturers still produce mounted figures as single castings.
Clearly a dismounted dragoon and a separate horse count as two separate models though.
Of course you could argue it the other way, but that's the rule we've played to for 5 LPLs, and we think it best to stick to it. Keeps it simple.



 

*clearing throat* Yes, very well, but how about the other way around, like this troll swinging a dead horse? One or two models?

[Captain Blood]

All one piece - one model clearly.

Pesky Scandanavian troublemakers... 

 

[Lt. Hazel]

The background looks a bit photoshopped to me, so it doesn´t count anyway!

[Heldrak]

I have a couple of clarification questions -

What constitutes a large creature for the purposes of round 10 bonus-point scoring? I know this is always a a ticklish question...

As regards presentation of multiple teams in bonus rounds (5 & 10), are we allowed to present two pictures within the single entry (showing each team), or must both teams be included as part of a single photograph?

It starts with whale, a whale would be large enough, also a giant octopus, any sort of fantasy leviathan (whatever it is). That sort of large creatures. A shark wouldn't make it.

Both variants are allowed. Though a sort of a battle scene would be nice.

[Tomsche]

About round 10 and the large issue thingie, is a piece of scenery like say, a fortress, in the middle of two raging fleets accepted as the required large model?

No, a fortress is terrain, we need a creature, a ship, any sort of sea-related vehicle (for example a seaplane).

[Tomsche]

Hmmm, that is going to make it hard to find something for the non fantasy era upto 1875+ naval wise


Roight, time to hit the library for anything possible that might be usefull..

It's a bonus round, by definition it should be a bit tricky.

*puts on Clive Cussler voice*

Hampton Roads 1862...


The Confederate Ironclad Virginia is steaming towards the Union fleet, when suddenly a small, flat turreted vessel appears.  She is the Monitor and on an intercept course... when the water explodes upwards and Godzilla tosses both ships away


  I just got hit by a stroke of mad genius...

Talk about beating a dead horse...
