The Lead Painters League Season 8 - General Discussion

[elysium64]

I hope to return to active participation of this forum, through this competition, problem is I do not think I have finished painting a single figure in the last year
So it looks to be time to break that painting drought.
The only round I will need to buy figures for is Round 10, so plenty of time to think about what to do, apart from that have loads of barely started projects to fill in the other rounds possible subject mater includes:
Glorantha (finishing of my Round 10 project from two years ago), near future street gang based on the novel "Vurt" by Jeff Noon, Modern Conflict, Back of Beyond, Mallifaux, Dien Bien Phu.
Oh, just to say I like the rule changes.
Heres hoping I can re-discover my love for this Hobby of ours..........

I hope to take part this time - I said the same thing last year, and the year before, but ill-health prevented me from following through on that both times. As for the rules - I'll echo what others have said - I like the cleaner, simpler rules format. Thanks to everybody involved for making it happen!

Oh, and Elysium64 - I loved Vurt. Great novel. Looking forward to seeing your work again (as well as that of all the famous LPLers!).

[GemGames]

I can't wait! I'm also looking forward to broadening my horizons with Ancients and WW1. Thanks for the simplified rules, and for agreeing to run this party!

With a 6-week or so warning (thank you, thank you, thank you!), I'm in, as well. I took about 2 hours this afternoon to go through the lead pile and pull out what I think I'll be submitting. Is that anal or what? 

I don't have anything for WW I either, I think. Some of the stuff I collected for another period might actually be WW I stuff. I'll check the uniforms.

Looking forward to painting some minis...I've been doing terrain for months now...

For the first time I think I already have figures for all the theme rounds. This could be an opportunity to plough through the Old West figures I have waiting in the wings, get my remaining gladiators done (round 5) that were undercoated for the Ancients club, finally do the Napoleonic unit I started years ago, do the support units for my WWII US Armoured Infantry, and use some figures I don't really need but don't want to get rid off! It would be good motivation as all my painting and photography will get are sympathy votes  Will I actually get myself sorted out enough to enter? Probably not!

I'm assuming it's ok to start painting the first three teams now though? Otherwise there's no chance!

As for scenery I love to see others but I don't have any so I don't worry.  It's only a bit of fun.     Let's not have a big...

Yep! Well said that man 

[Captain Blood]

Quite right. Bugsda once beat me with a chimpanzee and an elephant, but I'm not bitter...

I'm sure I should be able to add some witty addition, but I can't.

You must have the elephants memory Richard, that was a quite few seasons ago, time to move on 

[Captain Blood]

 

I know exactly who beat me in every LPL match I lost. They are seared on my brain...
(Hammers bangs on about his bloody raggle-taggle gypsies every time I see or hear from him... At least you only mention Tarzan once a year...  )

  Although I never been placed...At least I have beaten Matt once and one draw
      Frank is my nemesis,LPL 6 last round...

He beat you where? Over the head? In that case you are a bigger man than me if *that* did not make you bitter...
