    I've been using http://www.blackhat.co.uk/product-category/coat-darms-paints/coat-darms-paints-fantasy-range/ with some success, generally £2 a pot and 10 ml bottles so you get more for your money, Army painter is also good mind you.

    As for myself, I think I'll try painting the skink chief I've ordered off ebay if he turns up soon! I may have a non Lizardman entry as well depending on how that goes. :eek:

    Awesome news!!
    One fast question, @The Red Devil:
    If I had a built model from the past (9 months or so ago) but it has received no paint at all (not even primer), and I may even build a nice base for him (for showcase), would I be allowed to take part with that model?

    Thanks anyways!! This is so exciting! And thanks to all the sponsors that take part this is awesome!!

    It really does. Such an ambitious and well laid out competition.... WITH AN AMAZING ARRAY OF GREAT PRIZES!

    I really don't think you can find such an event on any other forum.

    Ah hell, I forgot about that. This means that if I don't paint up something to give away as a prize soon, then I'll have to give away something from my collection.

    Well, I think we now all know who is going to win the best sign portion of the comp. Now I have to try for one of the other categories!

    Why did I learn NMM now I have to enter master tier, why. Curse you're gifts Artzafartzi.

    P.s. Can you have a big diorama base?

    Artzafartzi is like a Chaos god... and the Chaos gods are fickle. With one hand they giveth and with the other they taketh away :D

    Updated competition sign written in Lizardmen glyphs - the date I used the roman numeral template for 2000 10+5+1

    Edit: I used Warhammer bases to size the glyphs and make straight lines as best possible

    Edit2: @Warden - thanks to your mayan and Lizardmen glyph links :D

    Edit3: It is meant to be landscape :p I just photographed it wrong

    That's a good point. would that kind of thing come under a conversion/sculpt, or a "master" painting entry? Or even just an apprentice entry?

    Impressive... if you put forth anywhere near this level of effort into your entry the rest of us stand no chance.

    @The Red Devil

    I have a question regarding the random draw, if you enter say 3 different models in 3 categories do you get 3 entries into the random draw or is it one entry per member?

    Have to keep reading over rules, the three pictures thing is slightly confusing me. So it's a WIP with the written text as one picture then the other two as two different angle shots of the finished model?

    I think its like this -

    1 WIP with Papper
    2 WIP or Finished model
    3 Finished model

    But you'd need different angels to show off all the painting I think so maybe one front and one back for 2/3 - I think maybe only one WIP with the comp name + year is necessary to prove authenticity. So I think its more important to have 2 nice images of your final model so judges can get a overall idea of your painting.
