Summer 2014 Contest Poll

Postby timewizard » Sun Jun 29, 2014 11:02 pm

First off, congrats to all the previous contest winners.

Now for the not so great news. We notice that interest in the contest has been waning since this series started. Completed entries by month have been:
Jan – 11
Feb – 9
Mar – 9
Apr – 7
May – 7
Jun – 5

July’s competition was supposed to be infantry - from a single model to a full squad – as long as it’s unit type is infantry. Followed by August, scenery - fortification - bunker, bastion, forward observation post - something other than just a basic building or a ruin.

Talus and I are wondering just how much interest there is at this time for these events. So we’ll leave it to a vote of the membership.

Take a look at the choices, the poll will run for 4 days, so on the 3rd of July, the choice will be made. Do take the time to vote in this poll and make your choice.

I'd prefer them to continue, but I think that as its summer people are outside doing summer things, thats why entrance has dropped off. I could have entered junes competition but I painted my tyranid stuff in the wrong order (I could have done the crone for monstrous creature and the haruspex as the elite entry). I have some entries planned for the next two competitons.

I'm happy for them to continue but with work getting in the way I'm currently strapped for time hence why I've not participated or been on much.

I'd love to continue as is, but I've voted for a break just so others can recharge there hobby batteries. I've still got two months of the hobby comp to keep me busy after all.

If people still want to and are able to enter, the comp should continue.

I'm simply in the position that nothing I'm currently doing fits the catagories for the next couple months. Which is also why I didn't enter Junes. I'm enjoying the break actually :)

I've got entries planned for the next few months (with maybe a break in september depending on when reinforcements drop in) so i'd still like to enter if they are running (if I'm honest, I set myself the goal of entering every month for the year, and its working as a motivator so far).

How would people feel about making the categories for the next month or two a bit broader, to make it easier to justify your entry - rather than being specific like 'elite' or 'troops' or 'hq' something like 'reinforcements for my.....' so that almost anything within reason would fit?

Like I've said I'm more than happy to keep going. I have a project lined up for next month, but I'll be painting that unit anyway as part of the hobby log. So if the category changes I have a huge pile of stuff for both my armies that I could quite easily dig out for it.

I would like to do this, but I always forget to enter, then forget to paint anything anyway! I really need to get the painting mojo back!
