[Archive] Brush Slave League - Round 8: Thank you, CDO

clam:



                                                          ROUND 8

                               "Thank you, CDO"


This will be our last round for the 2012 season - but it will also be our 2nd themed round.

I want to use this last round to say "Thank You, CDO - thanks for hosting our 2012 league - and thanks for all the help and support. It’s been such a pleasure :hat off "

- and best way to do this - is of course - to theme the last round around Chaos Dwarfs.

So to achieve the maximum of 5 bonus points you’ll have to make a new theme of chaos dwarfs or classic chaos dwarfs allied/slaves (aka Hobgoblins, Orcs and/or Goblins).

And please notice that only new teams can receive the theme bonus - so previously entered Chaos Dwarfs will not be given any bonus, should you chose to enter them.

Deadline for entering a new team is:

                                             31st October 2012, 11:59 pm CET

You are NOT obliged to create a new team or a new themed team for this round, but this final round will give you the chance of getting 5 points bonus in total (3 for a new team and 2 for themed) :smiley:

Borador:

"And please notice that only new teams can receive the theme bonus - so previously entered Chaos Dwarfs will not be given any bonus, should you chose to enter them."

Thought I’d mention the missing word :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

clam:

What missing word? :smiley:

- but thanks :wink:

Borador:

Grrr… Well played clam, well played :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Bolg:

Hmmmm interesting… I still have to paint my hobgob command and banner, maybe I’ll try to put “CDO” on there somehow. I’ll have to think about it.

G.2:

Cool theme. I like it a lot. I look forward to seeing these entries. But, not before entering and seeing, round seven.

Lord Aldades:

Chaos Dwarfs, Chaos Dwarfs, Chaos Dwarfs… I better go search my cabinents of unpainted stuff to check if I have those…

clam:

Hmm! should probably apologize for single handedly picking the theme for round 8 - but CDO has been very kind to us (paint-o-holics) and thought we should repay for its kindness :slight_smile:

- and it’s still acceptable not to follow the pre-determined theme - should you choose to do so.

furrie:

Nice team, I already know something I could paint for this one, just need to get the final team member.

DAGabriel:

In Germany there is a saying translating into “to be fire and flames about something” meaning to be hooked by/enthusiastic about something, couldn`t find something similar in english. Would you accept something along this line?

clam:

Think we have a similar saying in danish - and I must admit that I did anticipate it would be a rather popular theme :smiley:

DAGabriel:

Thought it a problem because there is nothing similar in english, so our esteemed native english speakers wouldn`t know what we are talking about. But I think we now educated them in foreign proverbs.

Bolg:

Having troubles with my camera/memory card, I already made back up pics. I wanted to paint up Clams Chaosdwarves but I actually need to focus my time on other stuff so sending in my backups now would be a smart thing.

DAGabriel:

Finished models and now start on basing and background work.

Borador:

I’ll start today.

I’m all cured and only will have to visit hospital for minor check ups (instead of being there for 7 days straight)! There’s quite some time left until the deadline, so I’m betting I’ll finally send in a new entry. Huzzah, I’ll paint as much as I can!

furrie:

@borador nice to hear things are getting better.

Thorne:

DAGabriel
I know exactly what you mean but you have no need to educate me :). English may be my first but I don't do to bad with many.

...(bold is team's that achieved the themed bonus)...

clam
Shouldn't my name be bold?

Simple typo or should I start painting a new team?
(my aim was to go for full bonus so I'm just asking)

@Borador Glad tro hear you are painting again! enjoy (:

DAGabriel:

@ Thorne: No slight intended, I regard my english as not too bad but wouldnt pretend to be able to get all proverbs and sayings(?) right and as you can see one of my formulations seems to have been provocative unintentionally. I apologize that my english doesnt seem to be as good as your german and danish. Just wanted to point out a probem which could arise on an international forum.

Bolg
Bold or not - you should do a new team. I've heard you got some Marauder-ish Chaos Dwarfs miniatures laying around un-painted ;)

But your current entry do qualify for the themed bonus, of course (and should be fixed now).
