prof_bycid Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hello Malifaux painters! I am continuing the painters challenge tradition run recently by Jaxx23 and Vaiuri. These rules will largely follow those of Vaiuri, as they worked really well this past year. This will be monthly challenge that will run until December 2017 (just so we can line up with the calendar for the next one). Sign up here at any of the levels below. Masters count for 15 SS. I will name each monthly thread with the title Monthly Painters' Challenge, to distinguish it from the previous Painters Challenge (especially since we will have both up Feb and March). Category Minion - paint between 1 and 5 stones a month. Enforcer - paint between 6 and 10 stones a month. Henchman - paint between 11 and 15 stones a month. Master - paint between 16 and 30 stones a month. Emissary - no limits, anything over 30 stones! Declare which category you with to enter when you sign up. You can drop down during the year, but not up - so be ambitious! Submissions At the start of each month I will start a new thread that will contain all the WIP photos and banter for that months entries. Use these threads to chart your progress, offer feedback, ask questions and enjoy the journey! At the end of the month, update the thread with a picture of what you have completed for the month with a stone total and I will add it to our tacking sheet. I will get a link up to this soon. Mulligans Life stuff happens. Everyone gets 2 mulligans - that is, on 2 separate months you can declare the use of a mulligan and your score will be 0 for the month. You are allowed to carry over part finished models from one month to the next, they count when done. Time Frame We will start the new challenge in March 2017. See if you can find others that are interested. I will post a notice in the main Malifaux forum. Mechanics I will try this to start: at the beginning of each month, post what you are going to paint. At the end, post a photo, model names, and total Soul Stone Cost painted. I will add the SS to the tracking sheet. So, a bit different than last year: post pleges and completed models in the month for which they were painted. More info to come. I hope lots of people are ready to join in! Cheers, prof_bycid 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamfanboy Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Question: Can strip-and-repaint count for this? I've had the urge to redo my metal Colette crew, and if a month comes up where I can't afford new minis I'd like the chance to still earn points. Also, how many SS do Masters count as?

Franchute Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 23 minutes ago, iamfanboy said: Also, how many SS do Masters count as? 15 if I'm correct. @prof_bycid good job! I'd like to enroll as an enforcer please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @iamfanboy No problem! Strip and repaint sounds fine to me. Masters are 15 SS, Franchute had it. @Franchute Welcome aboard again! Have you down for Enforcer level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sounds like fun! Put me down at the Master level. Edit: screw it, go big or go home. Call me an Emissary! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_diogenes Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Put me down for the emissary level. I think I can make 30ss a month, I have quite a queue of models to paint. I'm new to the game and miniature games in general (started about a month ago), but I'm having just as much fun building and painting my models as I am playing!

KrazyIvan Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sign me up for Henchman please. It's too bad terrain doesn't count... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caiti-Erin Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm interested but I'm only a novice painter. And uni can be a bit unpredictavle with workload. Got a suggestion on how to participate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 So...having been sat on the sidelines for ages now I get to join in properly.....hat goes into the ring....please put me down for Henchman....if in the unlikely situation that my model count exceeds 15ss on the odd occasion would that still be ok ?

Sandmann Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I think I'll dip my toe in. Put me down for Minion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Isn't there something like Peon category - a symbolic one, where you finish a model every three months? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoylentRobot Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sign me up for Master please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drear_squid Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'll go for the emissary level! I have some questions though How many SS would you get for models like Lord Chompy Bits and Hungering Darkness? And can I get Killjoy's SS cost for a Carver? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Another question....do models that have been primed count ? Or does it have to be from the sprue to qualify ?...I'm not short of models either way...just want to start planning right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Guess I will give this a try again this year. Part of my new year plan to paint more. I will start at Master level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Still time to change my level? I was looking over my unpainted stuff and I think that I can swing Master for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sign me up for Henchman! Question: Later in the year I plan to get the Translucent Blue Rasputina crew. I'll be painting parts of these and sprucing them up in general. Will I be able to count them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongOfTheSo'mer Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Emissary level, let's do this! wooooo! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarius Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Enforcer Level for me please! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) @Boomstick you're an Emissary! @so_diogenes welcome aboard! @KrazyIvan I have thought the same thing. Next year, a terrain making monthly challenge. @RustAndTheCity Great. Love seeing your painting. @Caiti-Erin Jump in at whatever level you think. You get 2 Mulligans. If you only get 2 SS painted some month, you just drop to that level. I don't want to kick anyone out, it's about building a painting community.

prof_bycid Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @Sandmann Welcome! @Phinn Hmm, well, 1 SS a month with two missed months would be Minion. Less than that I would need to come with a new name. @SoylentRobot Okay, I admit it. I already had you signed up, and am just telling you now. @drear_squid Are they similar to 10 SS beatsticks? Yes, carver for Killjoy is fine, I'll sign anything (grabs SS Level Transfer Form) and scribbles a signature (in triplicate). @Burnin' Coal Primed is fine, as long as the existing primer remains on the outside. So you need to paint underneath it. Wait, How would you photograph it, then. Nevermind, let's just say primed is fine. @LordZombie Welcome, LZ! @KrazyIvan Changed on the sheet! You're a master. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @H4ml3t No problem. @SongOfTheSo'mer Got it. Wooo, indeed! @Icarius You're in! Thanks for the great start, everyone! We are at 14 people in under 24 hours. Must go run a campaign league now. I'll get the tracking sheet link up here soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Top work ! Thanks for taking this on Prof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I managed to complete full 12 months on Master level in the previous edition so I guess I'll join again on this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
