The Lead Painters' League - Season Three

[Prof.Witchheimer]

the missing items are back 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Alex 

Sorry - I have too much Celt in me to be a shining model of Teutonic Efficiency 

I shall try harder!

[Calimero]

I would like to have some additional info on the rules regarding "New Team" in LPL. I know they aren’t suppose to be on the Net before the competition but can we post them elsewhere on the LAF during their current round in the LPL?

please not, first after the end of the round.

Paint a team of newly discovered primitives or prehistoric survivals and a team of five or more Lost World explorers and adventurers and get 20 bonus points.

Does said leviathan have to be depicted as alive or recently killed?  I've got an idea for a confrontation over skeletal leviathanal remains.

If said leviathanal remains were recognisably those of a very big creature, fine. There is nothing to say it has to be alive. For instance, a group of cavemen with a mammoth they had just slain would certainly count.
If it's just a pile of bones, no, that wouldn't qualify.
 

[Froggy the Great]

How about a bunch of cavemen quarrelling over some brits over a dragon skeleton?

[Captain Blood]

Does it look like a dragon, or does it look like a pile of bones?
It's not truthfully in line with the intent of the theme, is it?
It's supposed to be a big 'lost world' creature - not a skeleton...

[Bugsda]

What if someone couldn't really be bothered to paint a dinosaur and just fished one out of their kids toy box and posed some figures round it?

I for one would be greatly annoyed - I don't have kids

Perhaps one could make a token effort to paint it. A bit. 

There are no rules on how much painting needs to done on any particular miniature or other component. The voters will decide if it's a cop out or not! (If they can spot it... )

[Bugsda]

Maybe not, I wouldn't want to upset Svenn

[Svennn]

Bottom line is your kids did not, and I am guessing here, magically obtain their dinoosaurs. I am thinking there is a good chance of some involvement from your good self in their procurement. Possession is 9/10th of the law but that still makes them 1/10th yours so go for it.

I'm just jealous - and don't think I have not been scouring other peoples kids toy boxes in recent weeks myself.

Entry 8 is getting there! I've finished three miniatures and all scenery and the last two miniatures are halfway done.

I lost my momentum after round 6 and already felt worn out by the LPL. The pace is so fast and the painting pressure a real killer. But the idea that I will have painted 5+5+5+6+5+6+5+11=48 miniatures in 10 weeks time is just fantastic. It also makes sure I can do Cthulhu games fully painted.
