2024 Bartertown Painting Contest

Post by 3eland »

Here's the new painting challenge!

Every Bartertowner and staff members may participate in the challenge. I've used the spoiler tag to keep this post as clean as I can.

For the new guys, it's pretty simple. I'll keep track of the points in the first post but please let me know the total points you've painted in each post.

Only models mostly painted after January 1st 2024 can be submitted in the challenge. To keep things more balanced and to prevent cases where members hold off from submitting points until the very end of the year, we will set a maximum amount of points allowed to be submitted in the month of November and December to no more than 200 per month (you can still submit more, but any points over 200 will not be added to your total in November and December).

I've been swamped with work and am now mid-moving, so all my Warhammer is packed lol.

I HAVE managed to paint some things this year, but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to take pictures.

Re: bases - just score them 1 point each since it's fairly basic. So 58 points if my brain hasn't failed me.

sisters group.jpg
9 minis from my Escher gang for Necromunda.
My gang has 10 minis. 1 I painted a few years ago and left the rest. We just started a league and now I', motivated to paint the gang.
They aren't painted in the traditional style. I started with the Harlie Quinn motif. Now it's a similar, but the leaders of the gang each have their own color.
White for the Snow Queen, like Emma Frost from Marvel comics.
Black for the Death Maiden. I'm calling her the Black Maiden. Like an old 40k Calidius assassin.
Red and blue to keep with the mono color theme.
The Lil Sisters all have multi colors, until they earn their color.

9 models, 1 point each. 9 points.
