The Lead Painters League Season 10 - General Discussion (Round 11 started)

[Dolmot]

My friend wants to know whether that rules out renaissance orcs too. 

[jthomlin]

Thanks for the answers so far, one more query ...

If for future gaming purposes I want a squad of 10 on a movement tray, but due to time constraints etc I only manage to finish 5 before the deadline and submit them on some random terrain or blank background. On the following week I finish the other 5 and the movement tray, is it permissible to enter all 10 on the tray for that week?

Cheers!

Would non-European peoples who had significant contact (meaning more than just the occasional Marco Polo-type journeyman) with Europeans during the Middle Ages (pre-1492) be allowed? Arabs, Moors, Mongols, Turks, etc. I'm not really asking for myself, but others might like to be clear on what applies.

Yes, as long as we have a reasonable connection to the European Middle Age history (e.g. Crusades)

My friend wants to know whether that rules out renaissance orcs too. 

Yes, no orcs, not in Reneissance and also not in space

Yes. The number of miniatures on the picture is not limited to 5, you only need at least 5 miniatures (newly painted and never posted on internet) to be qualified for the bonus. Apart from that you are free to show whatever miniatures you want there.

Yes, no orcs, not in Reneissance and also not in space

Not even Space Crusade orcs?

I'd like to paint some orcs but now we already have two theme rounds, where orcs are specially banned.

Oh well, I do have some sitting orcs. They always find a way or another to sneak in.

Are Bruegelburgers historically accurate?

To be honest, my spring is going to be fairly chaotic so I can't promise anything, but let's see if I somehow manage to build some buffer. Tenth season and all that. Would be a shame to miss. At least I'll try to have my annual building and basing session over the holidays. The big "undercoated stuff" box is almost empty right now, thanks to a few leagues/challenges. (I'm not sure whether these two sessions solve two linked problems or cause them by moving the queue alternately from both ends. What a deep philosophical question. Almost like the half-empty glass.)

With three month lead time for this contest, there is a chance I might be able to participate again, after all. Thanks for the extra time!

After all, we do need to prove my top 10 finish was a fluke....

having some sitting orcs would be nice

Bruegelburgers? Some of them are surely accurate enough for Middle Ages but not all of them as you may think.

And, yes, would be a shame to miss that one!

Yes, that's waht we thought announcing the League sooner than usual

[OSHIROmodels]

I'll be bowing out of this one as I still haven't painted a single figure since the last one (I've got four started)

would your Landsknechts be accurate enough like BRU-30 Landsknechts 1 and BRU-31 Landsknechts 2 and the standar bearers?

Cheers Za

These Landsknechts are very accurate in terms of uniform etc. but they're actually more Renaissance than medieval. So no, no points for them.

[Za Zjurman]

To bad... no bonus points then in round five...

I have a question.....

When one has posted a pic of said images for the LAF PL at what time can one post up pics on this and other fora of the miniatures?

Darrell.

This is awesomely true! I may also be able to jump in again this year... I've already begun my sitting project, planned a few other projects, and am already thinking about terrain.

If for some reason I can't get it together, I'm pretty excited in any case tho. This event is a big one for the mini-gaming community, and I look forward to it every year for all of the awesome entries!

Thanks
