The Lead Painters League Season 8 - General Discussion

[Frank]

I am really pleased that this year it is possible for me to participate in the competition. Every year I am very busy until the end of February preparing the TACTICA convention. This leaves just three weeks to prepare myself to the LPL. Luckily I have been able to complete my first three pictures.

But now I look forward to your great contributions and hope to see many inspiring things.

[Captain Blood]

Welcome back Frank 

Well folks (and you know who you are ...), where have you all been last year when only the bravest stood their ground and competed in LPL7? Lame excuses all over all ... 

Fair enough Michael... 

[Blue in vt]

Yes!  Welcome back Frank...your entries are always a pleasure to behold.

Great...I'll submit tonight and it looks like there is still space for me on the roster.  I'm gone for a long weekend...but hope to follow the action on Sunday remotely.  Then back home to dive into teams 4 and 5.

Cheers,

Blue

Just had to check all my entry photos for the backgrounds
Missed the rule about the background and did ALL my entry photos with one but to get under the 500kb the photos were cut down and it wasn't visible anymore.
I was lucky

I look forward to being a small speed bump in other's paths to greatness! 

It isn't so bad...the life of a speed bump in LPL. Just competing with greats like Frank (welcome back!) is an honor!

Well 3 rounds in just hope the pictures pass muster as I had to reduce the size and not sure if it worked

[XCIV]

I have rounds 4 and 6 just about finished and ready for photos. Round 7 is coming along nicely, too.

It would be nice if my Round 5 figures were to arrive. Surprisingly, I have NO ancients. Oldest stuff I have is Pike and Shotte.

Oh! Would sword armed Bedouin camelry count? Sure, I got them for colonials, but really, did they change that much from the ancients?

[Nord]

First time for me, just submitted my first three rounds. Got the bulk of a further round painted and a few odd figures here and there that I will hopefully finish off. Some of my later rounds still to be collected by a friend from Salute!

I'm in same boat for round 10. Dont game WWI at all. Looking at doing some Arab revolt figs a la El Aurens. Can then use them for pulp. Have some foundry figs, but also considering the line from Artizan. They are very nice.

Best to send a pm to Prof re your question... Probably depends on look of figs , any "modern" accessories, etc. With the limit being far side of dark ages, IMO bedouin are probably a stretch...

Brilliant minds think alike! I just finished taking pictures of my El Aurens Arab Revolt for LPL8 figs last week! Can you guess what my 'big thing' is?!? I'm looking forward to seeing your entry!

Thanks

Too funny...

I've been considering what to about The Big Thing.

May have to hit the ToysRUs soon... I missed going to a local model train show earlier this month... Would have had my choice of Big Things there...

Please forgive my ignorance, I've been off the various fora for a while until relatively recently, so how do I join the league and when does it start (assuming that it hasn't already)?

Darrell, short version - you need 15 newly painted or previously unpublished figures to be qualified for the League. The League is going to start coming Sunday. Here are the rules (longer version) you would need to read them:
