Happy New Year everybody. I hope back in the festive season, your stockings were filled with blisters, and snug under the tree was a Stegadon awaiting you Christmas morning.

For now, is the time of painting! It's a bit late but it's here, the first competition of 2010.

Golden Old One 2010 Competition 4 - Special Unit
Start Time: Like always, this instant!
End Time: March 31st, 2010.

Competition: Paint any special unit in our list.
Description: Your task, is to paint one of the special units from our list. Special units start adding the flavour and definition to our list. And of course, most of the cool things are in special as well (Who cares about foot troopers and skirmishers! We want Chameleon Skin and hulking brutes).

Rules:
1. The entry must have been painted during the last 3 months (From October) or during the year of 2010. The objective of the competitions is to get people to paint, not to display work done 3 years ago.
2. The model must be made and painted by you! Don't be a dirty Skaven and take credit for other people's work.
3. The unit must at least be the minimum unit size of it's type. This means at least 10 Temple Guard, 5 Chameleon Skinks, 5 Saurus Cavalry, 3 Kroxigors, 3 Terradons or a Stegadon. Your entry may be more than this, but no less.

Rewards:
Coming first in the competition grants you two things!
1. The rights to display the Golden Old One 2010 Competition 4 winner's medal in their signature.
2. You get your choice of a custom title on the Pyramid Vault.

Entry Details:
People ALWAYS get this wrong, so pleas read this section before sending me your entry.
Please send me an email to someone2040@pyramidvault.net with the following details
1. Subject should be "Golden Old One 2010 Competition 4". If it isn't odds are it'll be written off as junk.
2. In the body of the email, leave your Pyramid Vault Username and attach up to 4 images of your entry.

All that being said, get painting!

Would I be safe to assume that the "Rare choice" for the competition will commence after March 31st?

So next up is create a custom standard, rare is after that. If you start painting your rare choice straight after your special choice is in, then you've got plenty of time to make it absolutely awesome Very Happy

I'll probably participate in this one. For starters I've got a unit of cold ones nearly done. But if I manage, there's also four terrakroxes, which are indeed, kroxigors with draconic wings, that just need a few more touches to finish the conversion off.

By the way, wouldn't it be better for the next voting thread to post thumbnails of the entries? I know there's lots of big picture hate around this forum, but that way you guarantuee people won't just click on the first few links and vote without seeing the rest Wink

Sorry for that then. I just remember the first competition with probably close to 20 entries and having to go through all of them before voting. It just went through my head.

Hey all. This is just a reminder for you Lizardmen collectors to get your painting hat's on. There's only 1 month left in this competition, and only one entry so far.
Everyone need special units in their army! So get painting!

Don't say never!
I think Stegadons are very doable, just depends on how finicky you are with your shading and highlighting.

For example, there's 18 days left for me... and the next 7 I'm finishing up my Dogs of War for a tournameny. So including said tournament, and busy weekends, I still intend to completely paint 3 Kroxigors.

At the moment all I've done is assembled and based them!

So yeah, don't give up, give it a shot. The whole idea is to motivate you to paint! Don't feel inclined to rush, but if you're painting because you feel like entering this contest, the contest is doing it's job!

I am definitely in on this thing. Stegadon itself has been painted. Still need to do the howdah, crew, and base. Will try to post a WiP shot in my paint blog sometime tonight.

Not gonna finish. Not done with the crew and was at work late tonight ... I'll have to get in on the next round. No matter what it is (core, rare, special, character) I'll have something I can paint for it.
