Ok guys and girls, here is something that myself and Morin came up with. We both set a list or amount of models to paint/convert/scuplt, and whoever reaches that mark before Christmas wins. Now if we both reach that mark, then we'll have to call a vote on who wins.
But because this competition is a restrictive on other members, I've expanded it a little bit.
First off, you put your country first, then a dash, and then your username. Eg:
Australia - Faramirsmumma (FM)
Every week or so, WiP pictures should be uploaded and shown in your own thread. Eg: Australia - Faramirsmumma (updated 5/10/05). Or something like that, so make it one thread, but post updates within that thread. Other Members and opponents will be able to post there (and should do) to comment (or 'constructively critisise') each other's work.
So, what are you waiting for? Get those models out, join the competition and whoever wins shall get a prize...
Any questions related to the competition, feel free to post them in this thread. Good luck!

Ohh sorry for the confusion.
Basically, you set yourself a task (to do with miniatures), and try and reach your deadline by Christmas. If you do, then we'll have to call a vote or something, to figure out who's 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
The winner will get a prize and so will the others....
I am not scuplting a model, I am trying to finish off an Imperial Guard army. You can scuplt a set amount of models - if thats what you want. Its whatever you want to do and however many, though I recommend doing more then less....

but this is just speed. I'm a slow painter and I could never paint any army that fast.

Not so angus.
If you set yourself an amount, and lets say its half or even a fifth of what someone else is doing. But you paint yours to a standard that far surpasses theirs, then you will both be even.
When I recommended doing more then less - it was to ease the painting backlog. But if you are happy with 'x' amount of models to paint, then you'll end up achieveing your own goal. Besides, everyone that enters get a prize....

Do the models have to be based to be considered finished?

Umm... good point. Unless you say elsewise, then yes they should. But in a competiton with your models unbased and someone else's based, they would get the lead. I await your list...

Good to see you here nickwiggy!
But as I said to the other guy, you have to make your own thread - look at the other members threads for, well, inspiration.
WiP pictures every week or so too!
