Halloween Special

Re: Halloween Special

Postby _stu_ » Sun Oct 05, 2014 12:36 pm

Just ordered my entry for this month. Will post pics when he arrives. Slightly different universe and scale (35mm) for me this time, but a model I've wanted to paint for a while. Hopefully he'll be going on a scenic base (empty hair wax tub) as well.

Sadly I wont be participating this month. I have nothing to paint for this category, and too much on in other projects to pay extra out in time or cash for a random for the comp. Perhaps next month. I shall watch with interest tho. Good luck all.

Sorry that the 2 of you won't be getting a chance to enter this month.

TBH, Talus and myself are of a mind to put a glorious end to these competitions.

The lack of entrants is understandable, real life does take precedent after all, but when only 13 people can even be bothered to even vote for the entries, we feel that the interest in this event has reached a low enough point that it wouldn't be missed by any more than a handful of people. This makes running the competitions to be more trouble than they are worth.

So good luck to the entrants in this, the final event. There are still 4 days for anyone interested to post an entry.

The forum as a whole has been very quite of late. Maybe just give it a break after this month as see how people feel in the new year when everyone has their Christmas haul in and waiting for attention.

I must admit that having only fairly recently atarted taking part in the competitions theyre a really good motivational tool. If not for them id never have got my shadowsword done and id never have had a go at making a display board.

Me too. Love the comps. Just can't always participate due to the boring humdrum necessity of life. The forum is quiet too. Perhaps advertising the comp on other forums? Drag some trade over....?

I've advertised on Dakka Dakka, Warseer and Cool Mini or Not, and Talus posted on Bell of Lost Souls.

Not a soul responded (no pun intended).

I know it gets quiet over the summer, but this isn't good. I'll do a loft run and try and find an undead model for this competition. I have the old arkhan the black (minus chariot), a liche of unknown manufacture and I think I have a metal vampire countess in blister somewhere. I should have the warhammer quest witch hunter lurking too.

I've made so much progress tonight it's unreal! I've been batch painting for so long I'd forgotten how quickly a single miniature comes together. I have the scenic base and hellboy finished I just need to do the undead lord to finish up. It's all dark and moody.... So cool! I can't wait to show you guys, but I may leave the upload for a few weeks yet in oder to keep it more of a surprise for voting.

P.s. Angelwing I can't wait to see what you come up with.
