Contest Entry thread: The Feathered Serpent comp. (Oct-Dec)

I'm glad to welcome you all to our Eighth

FEATHERED SERPENT PAINTING COMPETITION​

In The Feathered Serpent, we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of the Old Ones.

The theme of this round, as chosen by @TzhunkiHuanchisukaePiangi, the winner of the last challenge, is

"OLD MINIATURES".​

The theme focuses on old warhammer models, not Lizardmen specific... the older, the better!

The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the Hall of Fame thread. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge.

The Rules:

• All models entered should not have been painted more than a year ago from the date the entry thread is closed. DISCLAIMER: given the pecular requirement of this very specific theme, i'm going to give some rope on this limitation, as long as you don't come up with something painted 5 years ago...
• All miniatures presented must have been painted by the entrant.
• Max one entry per person.
• Max 3 images per entry (including pictures in collages), of reasonable size.
• No voting for your own entry.
• (for now) Open entries and open voting. Everyone can see who painted what.
• Models can be of any manufacturer and conversion but must fulfill the criteria of the given theme.
• Original models (sculpts) in this specific instance are not allowed, unless you can include them in a composizion that includes old models.
  
• A diorama is a valid entry, as long as it fits the theme.
• if you want to re-enter a model that was already listed in a previous competition, pm me before doing it.

Well, the proposer was talking about 5th-6th edition
Which is vague the same... for example, the hellcannon was a chaos dwarfs piece that was still playable in 8th edition. But it's old nonetheless.

That why i've said "the older, the better". if a model was discontinued and now there's a new model, the discontinued model is old.
However, the old model of tehenhauin, is certainly older than the just passed away saurus cavalry




if you want an old saurus cavalry, you need to resort to this one:



As a rule of thumb, ideally a model should have been discontinued and being not used by a good amount of years.
But i'm not going to be strict on this.

IMO

 

go for it.

 

Oh, i've got that one!

 

Yep, go for it

 

oh, yes!
