Big Hats of Doom



JonJon:

Pitts baby all the way

Eddandme:

You should use the vote option instead of saying it in a message :stuck_out_tongue:

It is on top of the page.

GRNDL:

Uhm, I thought Brush Slave was supposed to be about non-CD models? You know, so it didn’t get confused with GH??

Burske:

I didn’t see anything to that effect and went to the rules!

Entries

Participants will enter pictures of their �?~teams�?T.



A “team” consists of at least 3 painted humanoid figures (incl. dreadnoughts, Iron golems, War jacks, Cyborgs, Robots etc), but more can be included if you wish.

War machines (in a broad sense)can be included in the team, but don�?Tt count towards the required minimum number of team members.

The �?~team�?T must follow a single, distinct theme. So you can�?Tt do a Skaven ratman joined by a Space Marine and Alexander the Great.

All figures should look like appropriated gaming miniatures - but can be of any common miniature scale, genre, manufacturer etc.



Your entry should be presented in �?~group shot�?T of the team.

Use of a scenic setting is allowed but NOT required �?" it�?Ts the figures that count.



All miniatures have to be newly painted �?" or at least not shown on-line before (on the internet).

This was One If the harder decisions for me. Both are excellent entries.

Agree, may do an injustice here because I think pic quality plays a big part but i will go with the bighats. I miss a third button named "Draw".

A bit OT - but this needs a few words, I think!

BS sprung out from an observation that people seemed more interested in other stuff than CDs, but Brush Slave/Brush Slave League has always been open for those miniatures you have been painting - irrespective of race, scale, genre, manufactorer etc. Idea has always been to give you a chance to present your best efforts - could be from a period where you’re not doing Chaos Dwarfs - but certainly also from one where you do :slight_smile:

And it can’t come as a surprise that some people at CDO occasionally do paints Chaos Dwarfs :stuck_out_tongue:

And I see no conflict with GH. At GH we paint for a specific challenge with a rather strict set of rules. BSL will always be free - and based on “do whatever you like”. We will however, have some theme rounds in 2012 - and I can’t promise you, that there will not be CDs coming again :wink: We all have a “certain” background for beeing here and also shouldn’t forget who’s forums we are using  :hat off

Bassman:

That’s not fair! My beloved 5th edition Chaos Dwarfs against new FW resins… ouch!

maded12:

This is another hard one! They are both excellent mini’s! Both painters can be very proud of their work.

vulcanologist:

Two cracking entries…

Dawi Zharr Pitbulls

I absolutely love this photo. The DOF (Depth of Field) on this photo is absolutely stunning, something I have been able to achieve with my photos. I really like it. The three front characters are a little busy for my liking, I would have preferred a couple of rank-and-file figures and only one hero/champion. The colour choices are very nice, and the uniform colour choice amongst ALL the figures, makes these guys look really nice together as a unit. Overall a great photo, but a little busy.

Big Hats of Doom

The good-old plastic Big Hats. I considered painting 3 of these for my entry into this round, I am glad I didn�?Tt as these are great, and mine would have not compared to these great minis. I know how hard these minis are to paint, due to their lack of detail, and that is why I think these ones look so good, as they look very detailed. I think the addition of the shields has helped immensely. I also like the bases. Great job overall. My criticism is in the photography and lighting. I would have liked these minis to have had a better light source on them, so I could see the shields and details a little better. Overall these a really nice, but definitely needs more lighting.
