A new type of competition? Help us get motivated again?

[Davor]

Hey all, I know we haven't done good in the last paint comp. I know I haven't, been sick but not here to make excuses. I was thinking, along with a two month painting comps we have, we also have another comp, like strictly Nid comp. That can be done every month (or so, after all we are Nids right?)

Or I was thinking of a scene comp. Where we paint for our 2 month comp, those minis can be used as with our old minis we had. We can take pics of a battle scene or making something funny or just freaking cool.

With all your minis you can make a scene of Battle for Macragge or what ever epic battle, or recreate a great battle you were in. This could be a 3 or 4 month comp since it will take time to paint, set up and take pics to how we want them.

What do you think?

What about adjusting the main competition to allow a single (legal) unit? I can imagine that might draw in a few people who aren't planning to paint 20 competition points within the time frame. For people that are painting more they can cherry pick their best unit

My main goal is to complete at least five troops a week. It shouldn't be hard since I'm mostly aiming for table ready and I'm only doing about three or four layers of paint. Seeing as I've got number of troops to get through it should keep me busy for a while, then spending time to just go through basing. But to add to this, I'm thinking about doing some terrain to go with them. So I might add one piece of terrain a month to this, that way I can get some nice shots.

I tint the 2 month comp is perfect as it is. No adjustments needed. We are just to use to it. So instead of tweaking it,
I think we have something to go along it. So if you don't want to do what it is, we have something else.

This way we have the same old same old. Then we have something new and different as well for some breath of
fresh air. We can do scenes or something like that since I haven't seen anyone do this. (Mind you I don't visit many sites.)
So for me, it's new, and maybe could be fun for us and would love to see what people come up with.

Also since this is a Nid site, why not have a small section for just Nids. One model a month. So this is why i was thinking
it could be a monthly competition. One Nid model a month.

It could be kind of fun posing my newly painted nids dismantling my smaller necron force. As for the single legal unit, doesn't matter to me I'm just happy to finally be participating in a comp, but I think it might reduce how much people are painting.

I may have jumped the gun on the July-Aug comp since it got extended and I started painting my dakkafex on Jul 3, but thats ok, just means I have to add another MC into the mix when the next round gets going .

Maybe if we had large prizes it would draw in more people? Don't ask where we'd get large prizes from...haha. I wonder if any online store or something would help sponsor?

[Julio]

Also I can enter the next two month comp whenever that starts, I have 20 dudes waiting to be painted up.

my local GW is running a similar comp that one works like this

every month a model will be picked everyone paints the same model at the end of the month the winner will be decided by a judge.the winner receives a token and may pick the model for next month and will help judge the next comp

That seems interesting,depending on the model i might just join in on this one


Also the quote system doesn't seem to be working,it shows my post(jinx) as moontyranid's post

I was thinking since we can use "allies" now, that it would be cool to see a couple of choice nids painted up with a unit of fresh allies.
