Lead Painters' League Season 6 Rules

[Prof.Witchheimer]

For the 10th round I'm considering something along the lines of Uncharted Seas or Dystopian Wars. What would constitute a "ship or large animal" in that case? The Ika mechanical squid?

never seen them in flesh but looks like the would work

[alone_withmyaxe]

No recent components, please

I presume that also includes greenstuff and conversions then?

[Froggy the Great]

What if I bought my paints since 1980?

...

 

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I presume that also includes greenstuff and conversions then?

Yes, included. There are other nine rounds for green stuff and conversions, this one we want to see some old original figures.

Ahh gutted, but I thought that would be the awnser!

Might have to enter in the 'spirt' of the theme and loose out on the bonus points, as I have heavily converted all of my '91s' and my unconverted metals are young (95-97 ish).

Because of a tourney what I need to paint has been made by my army list!

[alone_withmyaxe]

May have found something for round 1 that I could sneak in!

Do want to ask.

Do the slotta bases need to be period?!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Do the slotta bases need to be period?!

no at all, bases aren’t important

[Orctrader]

...Please try not to make the titles of teams too long. They all have to be typed in by hand as each match is set up. And there is only a certain field size available for the title of each match. Do us a favour and keep the titles short as you can please 

My personal challenge - if I make it in - will be to think up the shortest, most succinct titles I can.  So, for example, instead of
Imperial Roman Officers, Centurions and Optios advance bravely!
 the title will be
Romans   

[Prof.Witchheimer]

not short enough. I have to check but one of the shortest titles in the LPL was Quar by Mancha

[Orctrader]

Ah, more of a challenge than I thought.   

In my example then, I'd just use Rome - even avoiding the full stop.   

[Tomsche]

Or what baout

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 /etc... ?

[Orctrader]

Or what baout

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 /etc... ?

Mmm.  Might get confusing for the organisers if everyone did the same.  Of course, in my "Rome" example I suppose I could use "X" for the Tenth Legion 

[Pil]

You could use SPQR for a tie with Mancha

[Arcturus]

I have some questions again:

1) Is it legal to enter a team of e.g. 5 Uruks/Orcs from the 1985 GW LOTR range in round 1, gain the bonus points for them and then re-enter them as opponents for a group of 5 fellowship of the ring members from the same line in round 5 and gain full bonus points in round 5 either (20 for bonus round + 10 for a newly painted team (fellowship members)?

2) Questions regarding legal effects and backgrounds
2a)Is it allowed to create a mist effect by tearing pieces of cotton wool/dabbers apart?
2b) Is it allowed to use scenery like castlewalls as a backdrop for the teams?

Thanks for an answer.

[Captain Blood]

You would get 10 'theme' bonus points for your orcs in Round 1.
You would get 20 'theme' bonus points in round 5, but would not get the 10 'new' team bonus points.
I'm pretty sure that's right, but The Prof will verify, I'm sure.

Yes, you can use any physical scenery or terrain to create a backdrop, including model castle walls and cotton wool mist
