3rd Annual Reaper Forums Large Model Paint Challenge 2015 Rules and questions

[dsmiles]

Well, there is Brown Liner all over my entry. It's a start...

[Sirithiliel]

I don't know what I'm going to enter...figure I'll just look at all the big Bones 2 minis I've painted next fall and decide what looks best 

[Citrine]

Just enter them all Sirithiel!

[Willen]

I need to get myself into a painting groove and do some of the proyects that never made it to the 2014 contest.

[dsmiles]

I've managed to almost finish basecoating one entry. Almost.

 

EDIT: Also, I just realized that the Toad Demon is big enough to get in on this action. That means I'll have at least two entries.

Great Iḿ working on Vanja Fire Giant Queen.

 

So I will humbly enter and loose to better painters, just for the experience.

 

Hmm will my painting improve  by getting XP from entering a contest.?

You get base XP for just painting, + 10% for entering the contest, plus 25% for doing a WIP thread for it, so yeah!

Hm I almost finished a Stygian Guardian from chronophia.

 

He is somewhere round 40/50mm high and on a round 40 mm base.

Would he qualify for the non reaper section?

[SamuraiJack]

Should be fine...

[Nameless]

I was basing sizes on base size.  Since there wasn't technically an 81-99mm base size I didnt think it would be impacted. But I can update it..

Getting slightly confused here... Are we to measure a model or its base to check the category it fits? My eagle has a wingspan of about 200mm, but the base will be below 100mm. So, shall it go to 40-99 or 100+?

That's a good question, how long is his BODY from beak to tail feathers? My opinion is that is what you need to go by, not his wingspan.

His wingspan is 200mm I told him to go with the 100mm+

Another length question, if anyone still lingers here... 

 

I've got these two angels I want to enter into single category. From foot to head, she measures a bit over 1.5 inches, but she has a raised arm with a sword that extends her height to a good 3 inches, plus her wingspan is twice the length of her body so there's 3 inches there, would she be eligible for 40mm-99mm? The other one is tall from the bottom of her dress to her head at 3 inches already and her wingspan as well spans to 3 inches. 

 

o_o lots of the models I'm already seeing are obviously in the giant class at 75mm+. Just double checking if I can enter them.
