GZG-ECC 8 Miniatures Contest Guidelines & Rules

• Full Thrust/Starship Scale
• DirtSide II/Epic Scale
• Stargrunt II / 25mm Scale
• Stargrunt II / 15mm Scale

Note: Miniatures submitted for the contest do not have to be GZG-specific miniatures. If you have a WH40K mini you think is just absolutely killer, submit it for the 25mm Scale category. If you have a home-grown starship you use for Full Thrust that you think is just awesome, submit it for the Full Thrust/Starship category.

Second Note: due to some growing concerns and complaints about work being submitted over the years by "outside" painters, any miniatures submitted for the painting contest must have been painted by you. The contest is meant for the participants of this little con. Okay, yes, this would be nigh impossible to enforce. But we are operating under the honor system here. Thanks.

Now you can have a group of minis (such as a squad of SGII soldiers, or a platoon of DSII-scale tanks) submitted as one entry. But they will only count as one entry. A squad of SGII-scale infantry and an APC of the same scale will count as 2 entries.

Unless you know the miniatures personally, it is unlikely you will know whose mini is whose (unless they tell you ;). You will vote in accordance to an identification tag associated with the mini in question. You may make up to 2 votes per category.

Judging
YOU will be the judges for the miniatures contest! The miniatures will be placed out on display at the end of the morning gaming session, and will remain out until the start of the evening gaming session. At that point the judging will be closed and prizes awarded to the best and second best of each category. Should there be a tie, a revote will be called for, to be made by the available members of the con who are present at that moment. Mark 'Indy' Kochte will abstain from this second vote. If there should be a second tie, his will be the deciding vote.

You will be able to reclaim your entries during the saturday evening game session. See Mark to recover your forces.

Winners will be required after the judging for a quick photo-session. :-)

Questions can be sent to Mark Kochte

GZG-ECC 8 Painting Workshop

Painting for the beginner, and not so beginner, wargamer. I will cover the important aspects of painting neat, presentable miniatures. The idea is not to go out and win a 'Golden Demon' but to help you to improve your own talents and skills so you both enjoy painting and are happy with your results. I will cover basics ranging from Brushes and paint types through shading and highlighting to varnishing and basing finished figures.

I will provide brushes, paints, and primed figures, but you're welcome to bring any of your own figures or supplies.
