"The Fanatic Studio is looking for a group of talented painters who are interested in painting models for us to take photos of and use in Fanatic magazine, the Specialist Game rulebooks and on our website. What we?re after is models that have been painted by accomplished painters and real gamers that show-off a wide variety of painting styles and alternate colour schemes."

blah blah blah...

"Closing date for all applications will be the 31 st Oct 04, with people being notified in November."

So, if you're willing to enter the epicomms contest, why not send a copy of the image to Specialist Games?

Jimbo:
Would it be breaking the competition rules to submit pics of a mini both to the competition and to Fanatic (which we have no release date for).
I can understand if the extra exposure of a pic in Fanatic mag mught upset the "exposure" balance but what are the "official rules stance" on this?

Cheers!:)

edit: Hmmm... I just re-read the add. Since the pics submitted to Fanatic appears to be for internal use only I don't suppose it should be any problem. Sounds very interesting though. Getting the newest releases for free in advance to their official release doesn't sound like too bad a deal IMO ;)

It shouldn't be a problem.

With the release schedule of Fanatic mag, I would be extremely surprised if anything that you send in today appears in print before the end of the competition here, so it shouldnt influence the decision at all. Although, it might be best not to actually mention if you sent an EpiComp entry in and if you got feedback from Fanatic, but I think that this is covered in the 'no discussion' rule anyway.

They're currently editing issue 8 - Nothing submitted now will be seen for a good few months to come!

It is out as it is available even up here. From the only GW store, that is.  :(  For some strange reason the local independent stockist hasn't received any.  :blues:

Just a thought, should this thread be taken out of the paint cometition and put somewhere else?

Just a thought.

I'm scratchbuilding an epic ork speed freek army from carboard, paper, and little bits of metal & plastic. This no doubt leaves me with nothing but vehicles (the main reason to do speed freeks), but still, the speed freek list allows for a lot of variation in that. Now, I first drew up a 2K list (which actually was illegal, with 835 pts of gunfortresses in one mob), which, because of modelling issues, finally didn't really appeal to me. I made a new list, at 3K, which seems to be the regular game size.
A lot of mob sizes are like this because it costs more points (I'm a bit lazy, and orks are simply with a lot!), or I already built the models. Still, I'd like to know what you think of this list.

I now present to you:
Da shiny stuff tribe! (II)

Da mastas blitz brigade, 8 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, bad ork smallwheelz (bike boyz), 2 flakwagonz...370
Blitzers wan, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, flak wagon, gunfortress...370
Kult of speed, 8 deth wheelz (buggies), speedsta, extra deth wheel (buggy)...275
Blitz koptas, 8 deth koptas...250
Blitzers too, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Blitzers tree, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Blitzers for, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Speed kult too, 8 buggies, mekboy speedsta, two extra buggies, flakwagon...335
Da bommerz, 5 fighta bommerz...250
Da scorchas, 8 scorchas, mekboy speedsta...250
4 gunfortresses...500
3K
81 models in 11 mobs, 36 of these models are built, 30 of those painted, and 8 others half-built.

You'll probably be better off combining some of the blitz brigades into a larger formation. Small ork mobz find it hard to rally.

Also, your supreme commander is an infantry unit in a formation of AVs - he is destined for a very short life as all AP hits will be allocated to him.

Pics of finished models?
