I'm going to be painting anyways, so I can use this as an excuse to do a better job. Heh.
(Seriously, I won't win. I like painting, but I am no good at it.)

An excuse for me to paint one of my new toys? Why not! I hope I get in for the dead line. I'm really slow.

So guys lets get this moving then Does everyone agree to the following: 1/ The contest will run from now to the end of January 2012 2/ All entries must be posted on the forum no later than Midnight (GMT) on Tuesday 31/01/2012 3/ All entries will be judged by Robin and he has last word on the contest 4/ The First part of the entry will be one squad: A Gruntz squad with or without attachments A unit of Specialists (for example: speeder bikers, mech's or remotes etc) 3 minimum 5/ And second part of the entry will be a vehicle: A Tank A Mecha A GSV Transport A ASV Flyer An Artillery Vehicle 6/ One last question do people think a commander would also be a good one to add as this would make it a complete force? So pipe up people as the show really needs to start! Edited to make it clearer

A Section commander would be a nice touch.

My only question on the rules as delineated above is: does someone have to submit two entries, or can they only submit one or the other?
(Don't care either way, but the wording is a bit vague.)

Sorry it should have been more precise Numbers 4,5 and hopefully 6 with be one entry not individual entry's. (But I am assuming people can have multiple entry's) When Robin select winner / winners he may have best unit / vehicle / commander then the overall winner for all three is. Again that bit will be up to Robin

I am not sure that allowing more than one entry per person is necessary or needed.
There will be other contests, and limiting each person to one entry is no penalty if everyone follows the same rules. I don't think we need everyone digging out their last ten years of painted minis to enter. There should be some sort of cap on entries, my preference is for it to be one, but MOB Rules.

I have no issue with the number of entries per person, as long as they are painted specifically for the contest. No raiding the collections for the best bits. Do something new!

O.k. count me in. I just bought some Eureka miniatures Sci-Fi German Stormtroopers,so these will be my squad entry with saw. and flamethrower attachment. I'm also thinking of ordering some Old Crow vehicles to go with them so depending on available time my vehicle entry will either be a half track troop transport or a goanna scout converted to a Panzerwerfer artillery piece. This will be the first time I try my hand at painting 15mm so I don't know if it will amount to anything but I'm hoping this contest will at least motivate me to keep at it.

my oringinal idea was a gruntz squad(6) and 1 or 2 squad attachments, so a tatal of about 8 figures and their transport. if you guns want to open this up with commanders and whatnot, thats cool. don't think we need a poll or anything. maybe we should keep it simple?
