Lead Painters' League Season 6 Rules

[Steve F]

Obviously, we need to get Phil Barker in to write the rules.   

Or just paint what you want and have fun.

Greetings

For me, that's what LPL is all about.  Simple concept.  Paint groups of figures quickly and as well as you are able.   

yes. For me too. I don't (intend to) participate to win. That would be great but unrealistic considering who else paints here. For me it is the spirit of LPL One: You have a mountain of unpainted lead and you do have 10 weeks to paint 10 groups of them.

Or, like Heldrak wrote in 2009

I don't know if this is the case for other folks, but for my own part the LPL is making me paint more. Since the LPL is demanding of time, ... but for dilettantes like myself the discipline of having to grind out entries gets me to produce a lot more.

I know what you mean and of course you're right.

Ah, consensus! If there's one thing swedes love more than wanton sex, it's consensus. One usually follows the other, so in this case...

*puts on Barry White*



That's it for me though, I'll butt out of the rules thread. For now...

[Captain Blood]

Phreedh - you don't have time for this anyway...
You need to be painting, not debating!
Remember last year? All those replacement teams you would have done if only you had found the time 

[Hammers]

Oooh, *snap!*

[Heldrak]

It's a good idea to show the age of the models, I like it.

It's your choice, but aren't you opening yourself up to a world of annoyance on this in terms of the amount of supporting documentation you may have to sift through...?

One might potentially have to open a minimum of five different links or five supporting photos on as many as fifty entries. Wouldn't it be simpler just to trust the mebership to hew to the rules as stated?

Spring last year was the busiest time in my life ever! Newborn (first) baby AND the most hectic period at any work I've ever had. This year I'm on paternity leave. Debating (and sending dirty pictures to Hammers) is done while li'l WIP is having his snacks or meals. Painting is done during nap time. So far I'm ahead of schedule and allready have team 1 done, and team 2 on the go!

You got it wrong. I didn't say I need it, I didn't say it's a new rule. I only did say I like the idea to show the age of the minis. I don't need links, documentation and proofs. It's not required and I won't demand this information. But if the entrants would tell me the age of their models, I would put it to starting pools.

What's the rule on performance enhancing drugs Alex? 

[LeadAsbestos]

I plan on entering all new teams, many of which I will be extraordinarily proud of. They will proceed to have their asses handed to them in the voting, and I may very well end up at the bottom of the rankings.

And I'll still be extraordinarily proud of them!

[Orctrader]

What's the rule on performance enhancing drugs Alex? 

Regardless of the rules, the drugs are useless.     I've now injected around ten figures and they are not even attempting to paint themselves!

Every season the same miraculous and bizarre affair can be watched with growing wondrousness: just about 10 days since anouncing LPL6, and we have TEN pages of rules discussions ...!?

Greater Gods ...

In 8 days time it will be the first anniversary of my pre-LPL5 comment:

Just take 5 (or more) minatures, paint, photograph, repeat 9 times. Its not rocket surgery.  

and tomorrow is Groundhog Day...... 

[Drachenklinge]

... and we have TEN pages of rules discussions ...!?

as for me ... I am painting ^^

I hope I can make it. 10 Groups (and three "ok-ones" for a start) is not easy for me. Actually I am not sure which is a greater problem to me. Painting them or NOT showing them at once (even not at my club's hp ... hnhnhn)

best wishes

[Calimero]

Can we enter fully painted but unbased figures in the LPL? I might be able to enter some figures I’m painting for commissions but the basing will be done by the client…
