Painting Competition

Painting Competition 

Coal & Claw Weekend 2013 will be hosting a painting competition again. Entries are due in by Saturday, July 6th at 5 PM. Any entries submitted after 5:10 PM will NOT be judged. Models that have won other previous painting competitions will be disqualified upon judging.

1. Master Painter

Any small or medium base model (base size up to 40 MM). If you place 3rd or better in this category, you are ineligible to win in the other groups.

2. Battlegroup

The Battlegroup entry can be any legal Warmachine or Hordes Battlegroup consisting of one warcaster or warlock and two to four warjacks or warbeasts.  These models will be judged on the quality of the paint jobs, the creativity of their basing, as well as the cohesiveness of the battle group. Warcaster and Warlock Attachments can count towards your model count.

3. Monsters Among Men

Any huge base model (base size must be 61mm or greater, usually 120mm).

4. Tabletop Terrain

The Terrain Table painting competition is all about showing off a great table top set of terrain.  Bring in a full spread of terrain, enough designed for a 4'x4' table.  The Terrain will be judged on quality of painting, preparedness, theme, and functionality.  Bonus points will be considered for participants allowing the use of their terrain entry throughout the event.

Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each category. Please note that if we mark you down for placing in the Master Painter, you are ineligible to win the other painting groups. We are doing this for 2013 because the prizes for Master Painter will be exceptional beyond the other competitions.

What's the deal with the raffle?

If you have noticed on the events, each event a participant fully completes they will receive a raffle ticket at the end of the event. Those that place 3rd or better earn bonus raffle tickets. These tickets will be used at the end on Sunday for a very special prize...

Well, one of the Pressgangers here in Dallas has volunteered to pick up Stormwall or Conquest for Sunday's raffle.

Yes, the individual volunteered. You read that right. The only stipulation is that you, the would-be participants, have to complete each event you attend in order to get the raffle ticket. If you decide to drop mid way through the tournament, no raffle ticket for you.

Of course, other events might have raffles during the event for other prizes. Or there might be goodies for those that make special achievements or be the first to win a bizarre scenario. But let us be honest for moment - who would not want to win a Colossal?
