Welcome to the April painting challenge. This month will be a single miniature challenge and is open to anything at all. Monsters, Hobbits , Spiders - whatever you would like to paint. Only one model can be submitted for the vote.


1. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of April 30th 2014. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos please, this allows you to show your miniature off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than one pictures into one file it is ok to do that

3. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

4. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.

Good luck to all!

Hmm, got a few Fellowship minis to paint. But I've also got Isildur and Gildor on the to do list. Gonna have to think about this one.

Does "anything at all" mean non GW, Non LOTR/Hobbit, sculpted from scratch, etc.

That's nice, a pretty open challenge. I might paint Beorn, if I get him in the mail within the next two weeks.

I have a few heroes that I have been meaning to paint, but they are all already spray painted black. In the rules it says "unprimed" so am I correct in assuming if you have spray painted them black already then I can't enter them? If not I would love to enter this month.

This. Haven't done one of these for about 3 years hahaha. I have a Halbarad on the way so might do that. The main obstacle is a decent camera. :o

Why such an open competition this month? Not that I'm complaining, it just seems odd (and a little daunting) to have such a wide selection. Not that I'll actually enter my completed model anyway. Legolas was all good and done for last month, I just couldn't get a good shot.

Haha I can't really win here. I try putting polls up to decide what models you guys would like to paint for the challenges and unfortunately there are still people left feeling unhappy that the models they would like to paint are not in the poll. I know, I'll put a poll up to decide what models should be in the miniature selection poll :)

(Please don't read the above and think I'm getting at you because I'm not, I'm just having a laugh :lol: )

I thought I'd open it up this month and give anyone who would like to participate in the challenge the chance to without being restricted. Don't be daunted by this guys its just a bit of fun.

It's been a while since I've done one of these. A great excuse (and motivator) for me to paint Radagast.
