EDIT: League now live! Find the rules here!
So i was sat in Total Wargamer merrily painting in the corner as i do on a Sunday when i had an idea to get more people painting up their armies - a participation league.
How it'd work would be that you show me a model at the club on tuesday, then again the following week with the model painted. In an effort to fairness a ransom style photo with the advertiser would suffice.
And for your troubles you would earn points. With weekly and monthly best painted models put to vote on the forum for bonus points.
The idea being that this isn't direct competition for who can paint the best or fastest but who can put paint on one model a week If they want to.
Full participation is not mandatory. You can drop in and out at any time. I will keep a thread on the forum updated with a league table.
Points (provisionally)
1 for entering,
1 for consecutive participation
1 for consecutive army/faction/system
1 for basing
1 for assembly/conversion (discressionary)
Bonus points
1 full participation in a month
1 win weekly best painted
1 win monthly best painted
Prizes are pending but the winner of monthly best painted would have the prime spot on the front page of our website. With a gallery of past winners.
For other prizes i'm toying around with being able to 'spend' the points you aquire for things like hobby supplies and terrain, with potentially bigger prizes for the highest scoring person for the year and maybe quarterly.
I would love a metaphorical show of hands to see who would join in if i run this as well as feedback to the idea so i can get to refining the details and get you lot painting!
