Grumpy-Git Painting Challenge

So, the time has come to announce the miniature, rules of engagement and judges for this year’s Painting Challenge between Office Painter and I.

<Insert Fanfare here>

First! The Miniature:

It was chosen in a vote over on twitter. We both wanted to paint something we have never really attempted before and this guy is new… Also very grumpy, hense the name of the contest this year.

Second. The Rules.

No conversions or altering the miniature itself. The base is fair game though.

Deadline is 25th July.

Both entries will be published on this blog anonymously and the judges have to decide which is the best.

The loser will owe the winner a pint at Warhammer World at the next meet up.

Third: The Judges

As with last year, there are five people we have selected as our judges. All have agreed and they are all pillars of awesome within the warmonger community on twitter – and other places too! In no order they are:

Dr Dave (@dave_the_dr) Returning for another year, he is most famous for his Golden Demon winning entry and those amazing awesome Legion of the Damned that appear to glow… also Dreadnoughts.

Bees (@VoiceOfKosh) Another returnee judge. Lover of Mortarion. Check out her Imperial Fists and Magnus. The Magnus of the 40K variety is shaping up to be a fantastic looking mini!

Cheese (@Leaky_Cheese) Keeper of Dave-Lore, ‘Warden’ of Fondlechew and general 30K boffin. Has a wicked you-tube Channel and is overly fond of Jerks. His Word-Bearers really are something to see!

Nerodine (@Nerodine) Has helped both Office and I with tutorials, tips and general encouragement through the last year. His light source painting is something to be admired.

Nick Bayton (@Nick_Bayton) Ultramarine extrodinaire! Warhammer TV presenter and general nice guy. Encouraging and friendly, is always there with a cool picture and motivational word for all!

So there we have it: The contest is ON!
