TEN tanks?
Geez. That's nuts.

...and, if I can't get assembly credit, there's no way they're going to give you credit for stripping.

Hmm. That didn't sound the same when I was thinking it. LOL

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Prep work doesn't count AND the original intent was models that were started entirely after 1/1/2011.

Hey does stripping minis count? LOL

I stripped, rebased and primed, about 100 Valhallan's on the weekend.

I get board of projects easily so I jump around a lot.

Also working on:
Menoth Force. - Currently Primed - Woking on wash effects and main colors
Warhound Titan - Bought it with main colors primed. Have reworked colors on some panels some paint & finishing work completed- Working on interiors.
Ultramarine Force - Lighting effect priming completed. Finishing work completed on a few.
Spacewolf Force - Working on finishing
Baneblade x2 - Working on washes and finishing.

I was just kidding on the stripping....lol

Then I have to discount the baneblades and the Space wolves. They were started Dec. last year. The others were started this year.

The Titan was started by another and I JUST started working on it this year, as discussed before. I will probably have to take partial points on it.

Points updated! porkuslime is poised to overtake Norse! Sorry, but I only gave you a point for the terrain piece. I hadn't intended terrain being in here, but I wanted to give you a point for effort.

Hopefully I will be posting a handful of points in a day or three! Just to keep 4th place lively until someone knocks me to 5th. :wink:

Well.. OK on the terrain.. I don't think that terrain actually should go in there, now that I think about it.. the sizes and complexity are hard to standardize on a points scale..

Go ahead and drop me that point.. cause in 48 hours I am adding at least 11 points back onto the total.. HA!

To be fair, ANY points scheme is going to be largely arbitrary. Whether you drybrush a Tomb Kings skeletal cav. archer or sweat over a Bretonian Grail Knight in full quartered regalia with free handed heraldry you still get 3 points. If I had to judge everyone's models individually I'd go mad(der). It's just a friendly challenge to try and encourage us, (the staff,) to paint.
