For February, is there any possibility for any of the Electors? (Grand Theogonist, Arch-Lectors of Sigmar, Al-Ulric of Ulric, Elder of the Moot?) Or do you want to stick with just those who are provincial counts?
Just curious, couldn't help but ask. ;)
-
Any Elector will do.
Bring on the halflings !

I think this is the right thread, so here goes: Witch Hunter!

The part of the witch hunter will be played this evening by Donald Sutherland.
(http://madponies.net/images/empire/hunter.b.jpg)
Hacked this guy up from a Foundry highwayman, with a headswap, weaponswap, and some putty, he came out not half bad for a quick fun project, mostly done just so I could participate in this. :)

Yes, the siege cannon had no appeal. Looking forward to more entries.

Here is my first entry - we can still enter up to three, right? Anyway, my first entry! An entry in the "what comic-book nerds think is a blow for femininism and racial minorities but is actually, somehow, even worse objectification" genre.
Behold! The haruspica (feminine of haruspex - click to enlighten yourself via Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruspex)). She would count as a wizard of some kind, of course - many different lores would work. Click for larger pics.
(http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica1sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica1.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica2sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica2.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica3sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica3.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica4sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica4.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica5sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica5.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica6sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica6.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica7sm.jpg) (http://www.batcave.co.uk/empire/haruspica7.jpg)
She is - of course - the Asdrubael Vect slave girl (the Sister of Battle) with her left arm removed and replaced with an Amazon arm from Wargames Factory. I trimmed off the chains, leaving the manacles as bracelets. The bearers are from the Crocodile Games Spartan War Altar set (ironically enough, despite being from different companies, the three models are all sculpted by Chris Fitzpatrick!) A few bits of plasticard, brass rod, a sequin, green stuff and a sword and the job is a good 'un.
The liver in her hand and on the dish is sculpted as a sheep's liver, and she is lying on a sheepskin. A friend of mine said the unpainted version of her looked like Eartha Kitt, and so I was inspired to paint her with a very dramatic, very dark African, skintone. I think it looks really dramatic, especially against the white bikini and the rest of the Caucasian army. The skintone is simply black highlighted up to Vallejo Charred Brown (Scorched Brown in the old GW paint range).

Despite there being no black powder weapons on Discworld I did start to make a Cannon for last month’s competition, and as usual I ran out of time – if I ever finish it I’ll show it.
This month has been just as bad – even my wizard went on Walkabout

Also as usual in my eyes the photo dosen't do the figure justice.

Here is my Entry for July.
Its a conversion from the General of the Empire kit. I think he looks more like a Grand Master than a General anyway and that's how I use him in my games.

Hooray! drinks on me! :::cheers:::
I'd like to thank my mom, and my girlfriend for supporting me. and God, for lending me His strenght to persevere.
seriusly though, it's a pitty there weren't more entrants but at least this way I got a chance :happy:
well done to peacemaker also, I didn't knew who the judges would prefer :::cheers:::

....I think I need a paper light box. I spent alot of time highlighting my grand master and it doesn't really show up. Especially on the feathers and most of the gold. And the black armour is a mix of black and metal but it just looks like its shiny from the lighting instead of the mix.
My karl franz is almost done and I think I'll make a light picture box for him. Because he's done in the same color scheme.
Oh, well. I guess a score of 6.66 is better than a score of nothing for not submitting.
warhammerlord_soth: Is there a guide or whatever as to how these are rated? Just curious as to wear I'm getting docked points.
-
No guide.
it all boils down to the judges' decisions.
-
peacemaker, you do not start at 10 and get marked down, you start at 0 and get marked up. I am sure you figure looks better in real life, but then the other entry most likely looks better in real life also. Since we are not seeing these in person, we have to rely on the presentation that you make. Still I enjoyed seeing your grandmaster, good job. Bearnheart, good job also. steveb

Ok, seeing as it is Emperor month lets see what Karl Franz can really do:

I was trying to finish this guy with his griffon but just didn't have time. Only got to the handle highlights and silver highlights. But I love how the light shines off the armour in the pictures so I figured I'd show him off.

I do hope the painting competitions are not dying. There’s no way I could do another set of Dymigryphs so here’s a new picture.
The Pseudopolis Heavy Dragons
(http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu360/JAKdoor/LDunit5_zps4c5720f5.jpg~original)
The more observant of you will notice that the leader has gained a pet goblin since the earlier shots. This is due to him entering a contest entitled ‘Duel’ where the goblin had unbuckled his saddle and was about to unseat him. All buckled up securely again now with goblin hanging on to the straps like the 92nd Highlanders and Scot’s Greys at Waterloo.
-
Gorgeous !

@JAK: Q. Don't you mean 'Heavy Dragoons', rather than 'Heavy Dragons'?

@JAK: Q. Don't you mean 'Heavy Dragoons', rather than 'Heavy Dragons'?
Sorry Noble, but we do mean DRAGONS – full story is here (http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=37887.75)

I do hope the painting competitions are not dying.
Me too. I haven't been able to participate much this year, but now that my Undead project is done, I'm planning on focusing at least a moderate amount of my energy on Empire this next year. I'm always happy to contribute when its possible to get my projects aligned with the monthly goal.
Here's hoping. :icon_cool:
Really like the coloring and skin technique on those dragons Jak!
-
On an Imperial site I visit there are monthly painting competitions.
-
is there a schedule for 2014? im a very sloooooow painter, so wanted to know what I should start on now to try and get done before Jan is done! Im trying to get some inner circle knights done, but with the holidays im not sure how much painting time ill have...
-
I was thinking to let go of the fixed assignments.
Submit anything every month and have it evaluated.
-
I like having a theme, narrows down my ideas a little, but it's the lack of a reminder that makes me forget until ti's too late to start. Perhaps fornext year, as well as stickying the entries thread, where you're not supposed to put comments, you could also sticky the comments thread. And that thread can get people talking about themes they may want.
-
Problem is, I'm running out of themes... :Ohmy:
-
In that case, dig up the comment thread, sticky it, and open it up to the community to suggest themes.
I'll see if I can find the comment thread and post my suggestions

Is there a list for this year? Or a thread?
Fairly new to this forum. I just got my Witch Hunter finished for Jan. Just realised that was last year! D'oh! Feeling silly.
