Darklord

thats easy man, try doing it when your wives having a baby!!

well your FAR better painter than me!!

well im starting to feel aenemic so must be IP time - The Darklord Returns!! it does go on quite long but 1 week may be too short i think unless you do more generic themes which wouldnt be as fun. to shorten it i have a some ideas: 3 way pairings for the first couple of rounds would trim the numbers a bit if there are a lot of entrants. or even groups of say 5 with top 2 going through have no pairings for the first round and the top say 25% go through. the only problem with these two ideas are they reduce the chances for 'weaker' entrants the other idea was have the first couple of rounds as normal except have anonymous polling (like RH or TT). the polls only need be open for say 3 days so would speed things up and give the judges time to clear their schedule for the later rounds. You could also add a peoples champion into this - like a best of show, and however gets most votes in this that doesnt win through gets a wild card. of course all these ideas would change IP, so may not suit, but change can be good. WHatever happens with it i will be entering. (although last years finalists should automatically go to the semi finals!!) @ Bugking, enter i goot to the final and most of these guys are far better painter - just use greenskins and youll be fine

wow! thanks for all the compliments guys. i couldnt get a better pic but i have changed the photo. it seems photobucket was shrinking it so the new one can be made bigger, so its the same as the one in my gallery. on a side note do i have to use a hosting site to show pics on the thread or can you link to the members galleries?

cheers guys, im goignt o try taking the pics again today. the black background probably doesnt help but came out better than the blue but will see what i can do, was getting a bit peeved with it yesterday!! Eric, the base is the top from a fruit shoot bottle then just some pipes and crank added. I think Rob has actually used the same bottle top for something so will be interesting to see his version!

havent posted any work on the forums here before so thought it apt my first was this lady. got her from waghorn in IP5. need some help with photos in particular if anyone can. tried a blue fade backgroung but she comes out too dark. still not perfect here but better. and of cousre your thoughts on the painting too! My first ever Wyrd mini!! and first mini i have added on here thats not for a competition. Had some fun painting it, tried ethnic skin for the first time and did the base using Robs tutorial from the wyrd chronicles. The photos arent great, tried all day and these are the best i can do

i use the washes and i think they are definatley worth it, especially the devlan mud. i still use the inks for stuff as obviously they both provide different results. the washes dont really pool and best of all they are not shiney like the inks (which really used to annoy me!) Guy to replace the brown ink with something GW then try the devlan mud (brown/black mix) or the gryphonne sepia (lighter brown wash) or watered down scorched brown would be a similar colour

now that is a nice mini, never seen those before.

the first one that somes to my mind is the guy from the GW giant set- infcat i think theres two different ones iin there. I know westwind do a range that includes victims so one of those might also be suitable. (they even do child victims i think!)

they are fantastic, especially the packman and mario ones

no worries mate, we will take anything that sells, painted, unpainted, basing stuff, books, doesnt matter. for postage we are asking donors to post directly to the winners for ease and cost. we can even specify postage only to certain places (ie US only)

just shamelessly bumping!!

a big noo then bud from yorkshire, look forward to seeing your work

Nathan, i hope this is ok to put here: As its getting near Christmas we thought it a good time to do our bit for those less fortunate than ourselves and raise some money for charity. So us here at WAMP (Wargames and Miniatures Paradise)have chosen to support the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) http://www.nspcc.org.uk/ We chose this as it is a well respected organisation that helps children in many ways, nnotably through the childline project. My wife's mother is also an active member so we thought it nice if we could do something for her local area and the charity as a whole. What we are doing is simple, on December the first we will be auctioning off items donated to raise funds. And this is where we want as much help as possible. Ideally we are looking for painted miniatures to auction, but also donations of unpainted mini's maybe brushes or codex's, anything that helps raise funds. Even if you wanted to paint something but didnt have the time then donate the promise of painting a mini. So if you can help us raise as much as possible then we would appreciate it. If you can then you can either visit our group: http://groups.ebay.co.uk/clubforum.jspa?forumID=100008748 or pm me here, or reply to the thread Here's hoping you can help Brett

:congrats:happy 21st
