BrushOff! 2012

[LidlessEye]

Yikes, seems like just yesterday we finished the last one, but here we are again at the official annual Strange Aeons painting extravaganza known as BrushOff!

We're shaking things up a bit this year by adding a second category.  As always, we'll be awarding the top three painted packs of official UMW miniatures; any pack will do!  Our new category, Big Kits & Battles, will require to either paint up one of our large kits (Godling, Dark Puppeteer or Crypt of Cthulhu) - OR - a scene depicting a battle between one pack of Threshold and one pack of Lurkers.  As always, you're free to enter as many times as you like, but do note that you may not submit the same models in both categories.  You can, however, win in both categories, but you'll have to do it with unique entries!

Now, the meat of the matter: what are we giving away?  Each category will award three prizes as follows:

• 1st Place: $30 UMW Webstore certificate, plus THREE unreleased models!
• 2nd Place: $20 UMW Webstore certificate, plus TWO unreleased models!
• 3rd Place: $10 UMW Webstore certificate, plus ONE unreleased model!

Once you have your entry painted up, staged and photographed, you can either post your image here, or send it to us as contests@strange-aeons.ca (or any other address you happen to have for us).  We'll then add it to our Gallery, where it will be displayed among the competition.  The contest closes at 11:59PM MST (GMT -7) on November 30th.  Get thee painting!

Two weeks into November and I've received one entry?  I hope this means there some doozies coming, getting special extra bonus attention from your feverishly painting brushes....

Darn, I missed this post, I need to get busy!

[superflytnt]

I've already gotten the photos down, just need to crop and whatnot.

Not much hope of a win, but it was fun anyhow!!

I plan to enter, just been busy the past few days....going to do some touch ups and post what I think is the best of my current lot..

Well then...I just finished painting a pack of UMW figures. I'll have to take some better pics and choose one to enter!

Well, I was going to enter in this competition, but my order from UMW still hasn't arrived...I'm having bad luck with orders at the moment as I also have one lying around for three days waiting to be inspected by customs. So Im afraid I wont be able to make the deadline...better luck next time.

[Uncle Mike]

Not much time left...

[superflytnt]

After much consideration, I rebased all of my miniatures. So, I'll be shooting tonight and making all kinds of heroic-like stuff for you to gasp and ooh-and-aah over.

Well, I'll shoot at least.

Here is my effort.



I did not have much choice in this, as it is the only pack of Uncle Mike's figures that I have painted. (I have a few unpainted-Shame on me!)

I love the silver drybrush on the guns, Mason! I do the same thing myself!

[LidlessEye]

Thanks Mason, your entry is now up in the gallery.  The good news is the number of entries has doubled!  Unfortunately, this means we've gone from one to two...

[obsidian3d]

I'll be sending something in tonight or early tomorrow.

[superflytnt]

A shame I have 8 Agents and so many Lurkers...I could put in maybe 5 entries with all of my stuff had I more Agents!

I'll send in some too, although I really stink.  Whatever I can do to help out the cause!
