Calling Armada Painters!

By Crabbok, in Star Wars: Armada Painting and Modification

I'm doing a contest on my website - winner will get a Legion Core Set in the form of a gift card for miniature market (Or you can use it for whatever you want I'm not a micro-manager). Painting submissions can be for any game - Armada, X-Wing, Imperial Assault... as long as it's FFG.

That's pretty rad. Might have to submit something, not that I hold a candle to some of the guys on the board.

I dig it. For those of us with bandwidth challenges, could you please post a brief summary of any rules? I’ll watch it later.

Can it be a custom model we use for an FFG game or does it have to be an FFG product that we paint? Thanks for the contest!

Nevermind, I got it from the video. Sorry for jumping the gun.

Also posted the rules on my website

Sweet idea! I will take a look at what FFG things I have in the pipeline. For this I may need to pick up something new! I have an idea that I have been wanting to try for a while. I may finally be picking up that third Liberty!

I'll probably pass on entry, as I have negative interest in Legion (hey look a very derivative game that happens to be star wars IP, sure why not, that'll sell it alone), but quite generous of you.

I'm game. Now, does it have to be a single model or could we paint up a group of ships as one entry?

Well, it's not like I'm forcing the winner to spend the gift card on Legion specifically, you could always get stuff for another game.

You can post as many entries as you like!

Aww.

The best things I painted recently were Rebellion , but I've already sent them back so I can't take nicer pictures of them...

I'll accept mediocre pictures! It'd be nice to see someone do Rebellion in this contest!

Once I've decided what I'm entering, I'll ask my wife to take some nicer pictures than I ever could. :)

An additional question: If I wanted to submit, say, an MC80 Command with its attendant fighter cover, would I need to specify that you're only considering the MC80 for the contest or would you consider the MC80 & squadrons as one unit?

Has the painting theme to be star-wars centred? (a bit boring)

if not I'll try to make Hewey, Dewey and Louie MC30 ^_^ . not sure to have enough time, although, got them primed this evening....I'll post what is finished around Nov, 20th

Possibly, more like to leave entry for those interested in the spirit of it though.

Any theme is fine! I look forward to seeing them!

I'd suggest doing individual photos in addition to a group photo. This way in case one of them ends up in the finals, it'll be easier to showcase it.

I'm literally looking at my entry on my desk at work.

Oh what fun we shall have!

So it can be something we’ve already painted? I remember a contest someone did not too long ago that they required your entry to be a new paint.

BTW, this is a generous so thank you very much!

That would get you the award for most masochistic painter, @Drasnighta lol. I painted one of those stormtroopers and nearly lost my mind hahaha. I might take it on one day but right now I’m working on a nativity scene from my childhood that I want to complete before Christmas.

Based on entries so far I would say previously painted are OK. I have a brand new mini on my painting table that I will be doing though. I just don't have many FFG models that I have painted and would want to enter.

Agreed. I’m scheming something.

Would stuff from Shapeways be excluded? I have a Nebula Star Destroyer from Mel that I want to enter, but I don't know if it will be accepted.

Pretty sure the rules are it has to be an FFG product, which is why i haven't entered yet.

It's just FFG Stuff, but you can still post Shapeways stuff and get entered for the doorprize... just can't win the grand prize that way.

Gotta get @Vykes to submit some; he is a story teller with his art ?

I may have to submit some pics....
