February Painting Contest
Note: Due to logistical problems, there won't be any resin prizes for painting contest in the foreseeable future. We are looking into alternative ways to deliver special prizes to you, and will keep you informed. Happy painting!
**********
Contest Categories: The contest is split up into 3 categories, each with its own submission criteria, and each contestant may pick only one category:
Legendary - Paint this month's legendary model
Solo - Paint one single model from this month's release
Army - Paint at least 10 models from this month's release, and post a picture of them as part of an army. Each army must have at least 30 models from OPR of the same faction, and must include at least 1 hero model.
Rules: To participate, pick one category, and share a high resolution picture in square format via the Dropbox link below (leave a margin on the sides for re-sizing). Only one picture may be submitted, and you must use your Patreon username as the file name, or the submission will be discarded!
Submissions: https://www.dropbox.com/request/vrcne8e4ABq2lN8Onf0S
Deadline: February 25th
Not Allowed: Welcome Pack Minis, Loyalty Rewards, Terrain, Game Aids
The miniatures should be painted by you, no re-sizing over 5% is allowed, and only minor modifications are acceptable. By entering the contest you give OPR permission to share the pictures on our website and social media.
Prize: The community will vote for the best submissions, and the top 3 of each category will get a special 75% store discount. As a bonus, one other random participant from each category will also get the special store discount!
Happy Painting!

Sigh - I have just realized the deadline is Feb 25 - tomorrow - and I'm only halfway painting. :(
Two questions: 1) Do you have an ETA on the Sister Novice Leader? That's one of the models I'm considering for the competition this month. 2) If we kitbash one of the warrior banners onto the novice banner bearer, would that be a valid entry for this month or is it too big of a change?
1) We don't have a timeframe to announce. 2) That should be fine.
Winner gets an extra juicy vote on the next army to be considered for release?
I would like to see Sylvanuth, the tree folk. there is no OPR codex for them but it might get my GF to play because she collects and paints them. Well, the big ones she can decorate heavily and make em pretty.
Winner gets to request a model for next months release
so ready for this one
Dang I finally can compete and no resin rewards for winning? Dangit
Other prizes I've seen for painting contests have been refunded subscriptions or access to model(s) from a previous month's release, if you're looking for ideas :)
I freaking LOVE THE IDEA of a credit towards the files for a previous model.
Does a Ratmen Sniper model count as a solo given there are two ratmen in it?
Yes - they are sculpted together. Similar to how a weapon crew counts as a solo entry if you're painting one of the siege weapons.
being a member for a while and having nearly everything i would want from the OPR MMF store, i was always mainly interested in the resin. I can see that there are problems for shipping to Europe and such, and the atlas3d resin is almost as rare as hens teeth in europe (and it's awesome resin) I can honestly not think of something to replace it that would be benefitial to you and a good incentive to us. Although i love the painting contest, it's great fun and aspires to improve, a prize is always fun to get. I don't mind paying for the shipping myself, it's still cheaper than buying good resin.
The resin shipped from the US that would get custom fees to pay was not a very enticing price if you live in Europe. Vouchers or discount codes are the best way to go imho
How about you ask for volunteers from the community that can print locally (to the prize winner) and either get a discount on the shop/a free month or a specified number of model files of their choice?
pretty sad that the painting context is only a 5% discount on the store (since you usually get 70% already)
i didnt even realize we get 70% off a month... always thought it was like 50% off
Vouchers sound a good plan?
I think a MMF vouchers would be a great idea, or a voucher to a reputable website to buy resin from. I totally get that mailing resin to each winner every month much be a logistical nightmare, but it was a cool reward!
