So first up the list of the details of the painting competition:
Best painted single miniature (from any miniature range!) - Adult (Aged 16+) and Junior (Aged 15 and under) sections
Criteria: Any single miniature mounted on a 50mm sized base or smaller (including mounted models). Regardless of basing, if the model is larger than 100mm x 100mm (not including banners or weapons) it should be included in another category.
Best painted large model (from any miniature range!) - Adult (Aged 16+) and Junior (Aged 15 and under) sections
Criteria: Any single miniature (including mounted models) that is usually mounted on larger than a 50mm base such as a Cryx Kraken or is longer than 100mm such as a Dindrenzi Retribution Class Dreadnought.

Cool! The painting competition details seem to be posted up a bit late though.
Luckily, you can enter miniatures you’ve already painted before you knew about the contest… Also, the categories are really open, so no worries about “not fitting in” ! 🙂
True, that does help. 🙂
I’d love to go just to talk about the Mutant Chronicles RPG and Warzone Resurrection.. but alas there is a bit of a clash – I’m bound for the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show that weekend. So the tractor picture is strangely appropriate!
HA HA! Some one photographed me with my new set of wheels! lol
Great… Now I can’t stop picturing you in Zardoz…
lol
ZARDOZ!! One of the craziest movies that happened to star Sean Connery. Love the tie in with that picture mate 🙂
You should have seen the look of childlike joy on Warren’s face when he first found that picture.
If you see a dark-haired lady with a tiny beard, trying to interview people, that will be Warhammer Zoey (AKA me).
If you see a crazy Australian with crude drawings on his face, and a beard tied round his head, that will be Outback Kenneth (AKA me).
If you see a cheesy foreign news reporter with sunglasses, and drawn-on chest hair, that’ll be Pedrolos Chiez (AKA me).
Basically, I will be there, lads.
I’m looking forward to meeting you! 🙂
I wonder how many will confuse Zoey with Joey in their attempts to flirt with a gaming female.
what is this female you speak off? STONEAXE
and I will be there giving out some superhero goodness with Supersystem….Up Up and Away..
Well, that’s come round fast! looking forward to this and chatting with lots of people!
Can’t wait really looking forward to seeing the Warzone Guys 🙂
That lawnmower man is giving me creepy vibes. Keeping an eye on him -_-
@Warzan,
I think you need some more gaming T-shirts matey, as the ones you wear at the moment make you look fat, when compared to this photo of your summer antics. However, I do believe it has been photoshoped, as that scenery doesn’t look like Essex to me. 😛 hehe

If that doesn’t drive up attendance, I don’t know what will.
