The North Star Master Class:
JB Painting Competition!
The rules are as follows.
There are two categories.
Category One.
The Grimdark Style. The figure in this
category must be painted using only the
colours from the Army Painter Box Sets:
Masterclass: John Blanche Vol.1 & Vol. 2. If
you have bought the sets from us we'll know
already, if you haven't please photograph your
miniature entry in front of the boxes. If you want
to know what a 'Grimdark' style is, then read
the card in the box set from Mr Blanche
himself.
Category Two.
The non-Grimdark Style. The figure in this
category must be painted in the most un-
Grimdark fashion you can think of. Bright,
colourful and on the side of 'Good'. Think
Lancelot, Capt. Kirk, Elrond, Tom Bombadill,
Captain Klenzendorf, Erol Flynn's Robin Hood,
you know what we mean, leave off the Skulls
and forget the mud. You can use any paints,
there is no restriction.
You are restricted in what figure can be used
as an entry. It must be from one of the North
Star ranges. This includes all the figures that
are titled 'North Star', like 'North Star 1672', or
any of the North Star/ Osprey Games ranges.
These are listed here:
You can use any undercoat on the figure, and
you can paint the base using any colours.
You need to photograph your unpainted figure
and post it in the group or message us to show
the figure was painted in the competition
period.
You don't have to purchase new figures for
the competition, if you already have suitable
unpainted figures in your collection,
photograph them to enter.
The Painted Entries will be judged by North
Star's World Famous Kevin Dallimore and
Michael Anderson. They will also pick out a
'Special Mention' entry in each category,
where the judges feel the painting might not be
technically the best, but there has been an
outstanding use of colours.
To enter you must submit a photo of the
model/models.
Once your entry is finished, you must email a
photograph of the model/models to us. It must
be a high quality photo and be unfiltered. Sent
the photo landscape not portrait. You must give
the photo your name and send it to email
can send up to 5 photos of the entry. You will
receive a confirmation, if you don't get a
confirmation with 2 days, email again as you
must have the confirmation.
Starting date, 28th February. Finishes 30th
April. Any entries received after that date
won't be allowed in the competition.
The judges decision is final.
The first place prize will be a £75 voucher
code to use against any products on the North
Star website. First place in each category
wins the prize. (There is no cash alternative)
We will be showing off the winners on Social
Media, our Website and our Newsletter.
I think that's everything, feel free to ask any
questions if you are not sure about something.
We may amend the rules here if there's
something we've forgotten about, so keep
popping back to check!
We're really looking forward to seeing what
you come up with, Happy Painting!
