I am so ready for this - the excuse to cut into the mountain is underway!

I must admit, I am sort of surprised. What with what has been the trend lately, you think one of the bonus rounds would an AERONEF...(especially a Norwegian one).

Wow! You took my advice literally.  I wasn't exactly expecting that.  Correcting my own statement, I don't think we need the "The" at the beginning.  Shit, is "underway" really all one word?   :)

The Prof's quick work - not me. He must have liked the way you put it.  ;)

Should drum up a bit of interest anyway...  :)

I think you are going to have your work cut out Capt. and there will be an unprecidented amount of participants

May even have a go myself

I'm in for this season too. Horses may be a problem (I hate painting horses), but I'll field something mounted for that round ...

IM not quite getting how this works:

Do we submit the same picture each round or must we come up with a fresh set of 5 painted models each week for the course of the competition?

The ideal is to submit a new photo of a new team of a minimum of 5 figures, each week.  This is ideal because you get bonus points (whether you win or lose) for new photos (except for the first week as all photos/teams are new).  After the first week, if you do not have the time or wish to paint up a new team to photo, you may submit a previous entry in its place.  However, you will not receive the bonus points.

So you don't have to submit a photo of a fresh set of 5 figures each week if you don't want to.

I think I get it

week one 5 figs Germans so I get the bonus
week two 5 figs anything
week three 5 figs anything
week four 5 figs anything
week Five 5 figs mtd get 15 bonus pts to boot
week six 5 figs anything
week seven 5 figs anything
week eight 5 figs anything
week nine 5 figs anything
week ten 5 figs primatives 10 bonus pts
add 5 lost world explorers for extra 20 bonus
add large animal 30 bonus pts

so for an unfocused git like me different figs each week............... bonus!

I'm In!  :D

cheers

Almost Exactly!   ::) See gamer mac's post for the last round.

So time to get to work.

Personally, I'm roughing up a list of the stuff I want to do, preping and basing the figures I already have and trying to figure out what new stuff I need to order.

Best to get ahead 'cause once the League starts it can be pretty grueling trying to keep up... with life and all.

 :)

I am not sure the last bit is right.
If you only do the 5 natives you get ten points
If you do 5 natives + 5 explorers you get 20 points
If you do 5 natives + 5 explorers + Dino you get 30 points

Thanks Ray and Mac - I think that's all correct  ::)

Just a point - of course it doesn't have to be five figures in a 'team', it has to be 'at least' five figures. But it would be lovely to see a few units with more figures than that  :)


I'm in for this season too. Horsed may be a problem (I hate painting horses), but I'll field something mounted for that round ...


Good man, Bullshott. (I'm expecting Venusian terror birds - just a wild guess  ;))

Yerrrssss...
Ah well, the more the merrier, eh?
Let's face it, it's only a question of doing a draw, uploading a few pics and updating a few scores...
What could be difficult about that?  :D  (Famous last words)

I could have sworn you were in season 2, weren't you Svennn?
I think you beat me, you swine  ;)

Well, I've got one team ready to go - not German though, so it'll have to wait till a later round.
