GZG-ECC V Miniatures Contest Guidelines & Rules

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

You may submit upwards of two (2) entries per category (ie, you can potentially submit a total of 8 entries to the contest). Your submissions should be given to Mark 'Indy' Kochte on Saturday morning.

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. :-)

GZG-ECC V 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.

IMPORTANT: BRING YOUR OWN BRUSHES, and paint. The brushes you will see why, the paint as its best to either stick with the media you are happy with, or, so I can give advice/help on paint selections. Bring one or two figures, either primed or base coated.
