I'm not going to participate, because my painting skills aren't good, but I think for the first time it would be great to do the Pharaos Team, because they are the best miniatures Impact! has.

IMO

Mephisto (and anyone else). This is not a painting contest. It is just for fun. If you wish to participate, don't let painting anxiety stop you.

And personally, I've never seen a "poorly" painted FF team. Sure some aren't as good as others, but it seems to me that FF players generally take pride in their mini's and table top standard to a FF player is usually higher than other war games. I'm sure your painting is better than what you think.

Now space marines... that's something different. Seen one of those painted with latex house paint (no joke). The kid was only 11 at the FLGS and he just couldn't understand how people got such fine detail. The question "how many guys can I paint with a gallon?" 3 of us older guys bought the kid a decent brush and 3 paint colors and gave him a lesson :).

I voted Siringit -- I agree with Dark Lord that they rank next to the Pharaohs as they best teams out there. And with so many different figures available for it, there shouldn't be any probably getting plenty of variety and different figs for everyone. (If they do win, though, I call dibs on a Warthog or Cape Buffalo, since I know I'll happen to have those two handily lying around! ;) )

@Mephisto -- I'll just echo the others: legacy teams aren't painting contests, they're only about the effort to take part in a community project. If you're able to touch brush to metal, you're in -- the skill level of the result is immaterial on a legacy team. That, and it's almost always true that you're going to be your own worst critic (speaking about anyone in general, there), so like Ted mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you're not half as bad as you might think you are.)

I forsee a very close run battle between three teams...Thunder Hammer, Pharoahs and Siringit.

I have some Thunder hammer Dwarfs I could part with one of. I think I have a spare Anubis Thrower somewhere. If we're going to do Siringit can we limit the poll to within a couple of weeks so I can get Gavin or Draco to to bring a model to Tulips for me?

I would love to join in. I was a little worried my painting would stand out like a sore thumb, but if that's not an issue.

I would vote for siringit. From what I have seen of them, they are going to be at a different level compared to nearly every other f.f. model available.

I'll be leaving for Amsterdam in twelve days time, so that's fine.

Looks like I should dig out that spare Anubis as well...just in case...
