Now that we have recovered from the sale (well, most of us at least - our shipper is still recovering in the local psychiatric ward…), it’s time for another contest!

This time we are going to hold a Miniature Painting Contest. To enter, simply post your pictures in the contest section of our forum (details to follow).

Contest Rules

Failure to follow these rules will automatically disqualify you, so PLEASE read ALL of the rules before entering.

1. To enter, simply start a new thread under the appropriate category in our contest forum (this can be found at http://www.miniwargaming.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47.

2. You must post between 1 and 10 pictures that depict your miniature the best. These must NOT simply be links, but must be actual posted pictures (i.e. when people view your thread they should be able to see your pictures right there).

3. Include a short blurb about your miniature (e.g. how you painted it, a story behind it, or anything you want).

4. You must be 13 years of age or older to enter. If you are under 13, you can enter by having your parents or guardians fax us a permission slip to 1-888-561-6860.
