You could have the most beautifully painted WarHammer figure in the world, but if you forget to paint, flock and/or add sand to your base, it probably won’t win our WarHammer 40K Figure Painting Contest.
As of Thursday, April 15, 2010, we now have a total of 6 fine entries- all for different factions! I must admit they are all far “prettier” than I could ever paint a figure, but the thing that surprised me was that more than half (actually 4 of the 6 to be exact) were submitted without any work done to the base of the character; no sand, no flock (fake grass), no fake snow- not event paint was added to them. To me, this would put them at a distinct disadvantage from the models that had their bases worked on. So, it was easy to convince them to add some sand, flock, and/or fake snow.
So, if you’re interested in entering our contest and don’t have access to any basing materials, just drop by and if i have the time I can help you workon the base of your model. I’ve purchased 5 different colored sand (black, blue, red, oranage, and normal sand), have GWS’s burnt grass and GWS’s fake snow available to use.
