Cavember Painting Contest Alteration - Bring Your Roughriders, ANY and all!

I've been having a bit of a think, and realised I really did'nt like what I'd done with the painting contest.

It was pointed out to me by one reader that only allowing entries for models based on my own models was a good marketing ploy to sell Roughriders. I had to agree with that, and realised that I had made a concious decision to do it that way. This has been playing on my mind a bit since, along with the fact that actually I've been commericalising my hobby. On reflection, that realisation has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I think it may be time to put a stop to that, before my hobby, and my blog, become a second job, and a shop.

There are a few things I'm thinking about, but for this reason, please find below the ammended rules for the Roughrider Painting Contest,



I've been inspiried by one of my fellow Praetorian bloggers, Col.Ackland, who recently posted a challenge to himself, and to others, to get his and as many other Praetorian Roughriders painted up as possible. You can find his post HERE. It struck a cord with me as a damn good idea (I'm still only just assembling my second five man unit!), so in response I've decided to take it that little bit further.

I'm extending his challenge to get your Praetorian Roughriders assembled and painted, and at the end of the month I'll be running a contest for anyone who does, for the best Roughrider Squadron. The winner of the contest will get recieve 10 Roughrider conversion sets. The details/rules are as follows.

• The submitted Roughrider Squadron must consist of between 5 and 10 models.
• The unit may be composed of any models, and depict any regiment you wish, as long as they are recogniseable as Roughriders (i.e. they should be WYSIWYG).
• All models in the submitted entry must be finished and both fully painted and based.
• Each entrant may submit up to two pictures of their entry.
• All entries must be submitted to the below email address by midnight on the 30th of November 2011.
• A public vote, lasting one week, will be posted in the first week of December on the blog.
• In the event of a tie, I will cast the deciding vote.

Roughriders Preview from Victoria Miniatures

Victoria Lamb has posted a preview of the Victoria Miniatures new Roughrider, and it looks like an awesome sculpt. Speaking personally I've already got all the Roughriders I need - albeit unassebled (surely your not surprised?), but I may have to find room for some of these anyway!

For more details, take a look HERE.

Pre-order Rorke's Drift from Warlord Games

Just spotted this in my inbox, and thought it was rather cool and potentially worth pointing out to any Praetorian fans who might want to recreate Last Stand at Glaziers Creek, as inspired by the defene of Rorkes Drift. Warlord games are releaseing a 28mm terrain set of Rorkes Drift, included are laser cut wooden buildings with interior details and removeable roofs, and plentiful resin accessories such as mealie bag barricades, and a vast host of other bits! They are also including some of their new plastics - I think while they will almost certainly be true scale 28mm, they will no doubt be a vast improvement over the current similar plastic British Infantry offering from Wargames Factory. One to watch for Praetorian fans - or obviously for thoses into historical wargaming arouond this period!

It seems reasonably priced for everything you get as well, I may be tempted...

Not only that, but I'm also pleased to say that I've now taken delivery a new casting run of the Roughrider kits, so there are now a further 95 sets in stock. In addition to the above painting contest for this month only there will be free shipping on all orders of 5 or more sets (just that little extra incentive!).
