the competition will run from now until 26 november 2004. that should give you all enough time to think about what you want to paint and procrastinate until a week or two before the deadline (well if you're all like me this is what will happen anyway).
first up is a model of your choice from the phigs miniatures range (available from www.phigsminiatures.com) that really is the only stipulation with regards to the miniature that you have. if you want to do a gnoll or a valkyrie then off you pop and pick one up.
conditions of the paint job will are that you need to slap on at least 3 different colours (just like if it was a gw painting comp). it would be nice if the mini was based but it's not essential.
any other questions, just drop a line here and i'll answer them as i go along, whilst also updating this page too.
oh and before i forget again, good luck to everyone taking part.

oh yeah, if you have any other questions about this that you can't find answers for then just jot them down and i'll think of something to answer it (hopefully anyway).
