Is there no BrushOff this year???.

I'll post the details tomorrow. Had to take a few days off...

And the details are below! Apologies for the late start.

Alright gents (and ladies, I hope - this has been a rather one-sided event to date!), another BrushOff! is indeed upon us. Just to keep everyone on their toes, we've opted to shake up the categories once again this year:

Any single Uncle Mike's Worldwide miniature pack. This includes all our 1-3 model bags as well as the boxed sets (Dark Puppeteer, Crypt, Godling).
In celebration of the release of VUK, show us your cult! This entry may feature any number of models, but it must be a functioning cult list. Other manufacturer's models are acceptable, but may constitute no more than 1/3rd of the total figures.

Photos of your entry (1024x768 maximum please) can either be posted to this thread, submitted to contests@strange-aeons.ca, or submitted to me via PM. Accepted entries will be posted to the contest Gallery (http://strange-aeons.ca/photo/BrushOff-2013/), where you'll be able to view all the competition, along with past year's entries if you need some inspiration. You may enter as many times as you like, and may double-enter the models from your cult as single packs if you so choose. However, be aware that we won't award a prize to the same model twice...

For prizes, we'll be awarding UMW webstore gift certificates to two entries per category: $30 for first place, $15 for second. All winners will also receive a pack of currently unreleased models when they claim their bounty, which I'll be previewing within the next two weeks, provided I (or anyone else around the lab) get off my butt and paint them. We're off to a slightly late start, and it seems nasty to end a contest right in the middle of a perfectly good painting weekend, so we'll set the close at 11:59PM MDT on December 1st.

Oh, should mention, the subject of promotional figures has come up in the past. As they're not considered a full pack, they're ineligible for competition on their own, but you can certainly fit them into a cult freely. Also feel free to tuck them into your single pack entries for added flavour - those cultists sure do look a lot more menacing when standing over a captive agent, after all! Also, the full-body Deep One (ie. not the submerged version) will be accepted as a single pack entry.

Nice! I'll see if I can paint something up before December 1st, I think even I can make that deadline...I'm quite slow.

Can we use models we entered in a prior Brushoff for the Cult entry?

Uncle Mike · « **Reply #5 on:** November 05, 2013, 09:33:34 PM »

Sounds fine to me. Looking forward to seeing a few cults!

And my first single miniatures entry

Always good to see a Godling painted up...

Uncle Mike · « **Reply #9 on:** November 15, 2013, 03:16:36 PM »

Great start!!!

Wow, some really nice work there harleyface, the Godling is looking especially sweet. I've begun work on my first batch of cultists and agents but it's the first painting I've attempted since I developed the Carpotunnel in my arms and hands and nerve damage in my neck, so I'm actually having to come up with a whole new technique for painting. It's quite challenging (and more than a little frustrating at times) but I really hope to have them finished before the deadline.

Real life is getting a bit in the way, so I'm not sure if I can make the deadline...still have to fill the gaps in the model, prime it and start painting it.

You still have some time, I admit it is rough for me to keep up a few things. Just allocate some time before bed or when you get up a bit earlier to paint for a few.

I know and I'm really going to try and finally get something painted for BrushOff. I've been away from painting Strange Aeons stuff because I was busy with my Warhammer 40K army...am a bit bored of painting that at the moment, so I've decided to do some Strange Aeons stuff again starting with something for this competition.

harleyface: Great job on the Godling and the two cults by the way.

harleyface · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2013, 11:22:25 AM »

Thank you !

The Godling was already finished but i was too slow for brush off 2012 :-)
Right now i m painting the latest SA mini sets.
Think they will be finished soon :-)
