Wow. I think the only word for that is "epic."
True, we love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

I expect honesty about models' conditions, thank you.

If I don't respond in a day or two, please check back, I've forgotten-sorry.

They aren't properly based.

Knowing the rate you paint, I thought the Subject line was going to be your current total since entering the painting competitions -or something similar, kt! LOL

...I really did, though.
Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

I suk at painting faces...Note how many models have full helms, are beasts, monsters or robots. Then count how many have a face.

Ummm yes they are. The terrain itself is the base since they are glued directly to it.

So would they be 2, 3 points each? They are 54mm. Isn't that the same size as Inquisitor game models?

We haven't had anyone submit any that size for the contest, but if they did; how many points would they be?

I think it would probably be around 3 points each. That would net around 107 points per volunteer.

To be honest, I went through the whole blog to find when the project started and from what I can see, deadline to submit to be a painter was february 18 so they had at most 3 months to do this.

It's incredible to have 140 volunteers to painting the same thing over and over for 3 months and the consistency of the painting is incredible.

Simply amazing.
I've been dealing with minis for years. Just because I'm new here, doesn't mean I'm an idiot. Please refrain from treating me as such during our negotiations.

1. I support that the Lower Rating ships first, unless another deal is made.
2. I will take pictures of all my packaging and receipts during a trade. Please do the same.
3. I understand that "Real Life" happens, but please keep me in the loop if something takes place that hampers your ability to adhere to your agreements.
