thinking about re painting my army...

[General Leevous]

ive been thinkin about it and ive come to the conclusion that my army looks like crap (no pun intended) and im sick of it. so im thinkin about stripping the whole thing and actually try to make it look good instead of basecoat with enamel paints (yuck) then devlin mud. im looking for a general consensus and if i get 10 people to convince me then i will (even though im lazy and will hate it). then this way i can paint them actual death guard colors

My only suggestion would be don't strip your entire army at once.

A friend of mine did that once and regretted it. He plays in tourney's occasionally and had to sit out of a couple becuase he striped the entire army.

Wait, didn't your Plague Marines score the same as Paul's Ultra Marines in that one painting competition?

 

[Opforce3]

yes. and thats why i have no faith in the garbage scoring systems everyone uses.

Maybe you should use more devlan mud, nub.

yes, but this way i can get a BETTER score than paul  (sorry paul)

Even my garbage scoring system??

When was the last time there was a painting challenge? There hasn't been one since I started going to BG. I'd be interested in one!

I think it was part of the scoring wrapped up in the Doubles tournament, Jeff.  I think your army scored 2nd place.  Ian's Thousand Sons scored 1st.

I don't remember how many points were available, but I want to say Ian scored something like 18 points, you scored 17, Paul and Lee were in the 10-11 range.

Beyond that I have no idea what happened.  I don't even know the criteria you were judged on.  I showed up after the scoring had taken place.

Ahhhh... ok. I think they used a painting rubic that they use in Cambridge for the double's tourney.

There's up's and down's to rubic's. I think there good because no matter what you are not going to please everyone when judging painting, if you can present someone with a sheet that says this is why you scored what you did, its good. I think they should be published before hand so you know what your getting into.

Sorry for going off topic!
