Lead Painters' League Season 6 Rules

[Painting Princess]

We had it already, yes, not allowed. I don't think it's harsch. We've had hunderts of beautiful entries without all that photo/painted backdrops and they were looking amazing.

It's all about using painted minis and painted terrain.

So is it okay to have terrain manufactured by the entrant (as long as it's not a printed piece of paper) if it's not terrain that needs painting?

[Painting Princess]

All applicants MUST submit THREE newly-painted (previously unpublished) teams in time for the first round

No newly-painted bonus for the first three rounds as all entrants are submitting newly-painted teams. Wouldn't make much sense.

So, just to clarify (sorry, bit confused!), in Round 1: no bonus for "newly-painted" but yes bonus for "Old Metal"?

[Captain Blood]

Painting Princess - yes to both those questions. Terrain and scenery is fine as a backdrop. And in round 1, there is no new team bonus, since everyone is de facto entering a new team, but there is a theme bonus for 'old metal'.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

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…

unfortunately it is not allowed:

All figures must be completely painted, and all bases must be finished. We ONLY accept pictures of finished models, ‘work in progress’ (WIP) shots are NOT allowed.

[Calimero]

unfortunately it is not allowed:

D'Oh!

Well the rules are pretty clear. I missed it somehow. It might be difficult to paint for an client and do the LPL at the same time though….

I’ll try to figures something out and see if I can make it to the dead line

[Plynkes]

Base them for the LPL and then un-base them again for the client afterwards, maybe?

Probably too much of a pain, but just a thought.

Had a few unproductive days, need to get back on the case tonight. I have had to change plans, as friend now wants to keep box of figs to paint later when he improves, fortunately had a couple of sets of figures that when I checked the date said 1987

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Guys, please, chatting about LPL and painting progress on that thread:

Thanks for clarifying!

Prof, on the topic of bases - would it be allowed to obscure the bases of a team? Ie Calimero wouldn't have to base his client's figs, he could just sink them into flock for example.

Obscuring the bases doesn't make them finished and the rules are very clear on this. Only finished figures incl. finished bases.

OK, bummer for Cal! =)

[Laughing Ferret]

To count as 'unpublished' what if I paint 30 miniatures of a force, and post pictures of them on my blog, but keep 5 or more held back out of the picture, could those that were not in the photo be used for a league entry?  -so the entry would be unpublished minis, though other minis just like them had been posted elsewhere: would that be acceptable?

-Just trying to decide, as I just finished a group of 30+ minis and it'd be nice to use a group of them for this.  It'd be nice not to have to wait on posting all of them on my Blog but if it breaks the spirit of the rule I understand.

Sure, as long as you don't show these 5 on the web, they could be used.
