The Librarium Painting Challenge 2013
Signup now!
Merry Christmas The most feared Painting Challenge on the internet is making a return for its sixth successive year! Welcome to the 2013 B&C Librarium Painting Challenge (which goes by the fearsome acronym of LPC). For those newcomers to the B&C or to the Challenge, The Librarium Painting Challenge serves as a chance for gamers to make a New Year's Resolution to get all those minis they received for Christmas painted before the end of March. So what prizes await those who succeed and what punishments will be inflicted upon those who fail in their efforts? Read on!

Each entrant takes the Librarium Challenge Vow, as seen below, and chooses the amount of models they wish to enter. This can range from a single miniature to a 3000pt army. There are no restrictions on painting ability, the standard required is merely whatever you can achieve (otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter in the first two challenges ) in the timeframe available. So what reasons are there to enter the Librarium Painting Challenge? Motivation. In this case, there is both the carrot and the stick. The root vegetable of your choice is simply the glory and camaraderie (with over 300 participants last year!) of the Challenge, not to mention the cool signature awarded upon completion. The stick in this case is the Challenge's Failure signature (as pictured below) and losing your soul to the Librarium owing the Librarium an article (not really that much of a punishment...). So there should be plenty of motivation whichever way you swing



Please note that only board appropriate minis may be entered. This means no xenos or non-PA models. If you're unsure on whether or not your models come under this clause, feel free to drop me a PM to clarify or post here. Please note that Epic, BFG, Inquisitor and Space Hulk minis are all welcome, as long as they qualify as board appropriate. It does not matter what stage of completion the mini is in, as long as it is less than approximately 50% complete. Basecoat to unassembled to one Inquisitor's leg painted, all are welcome.

The Challenge and its Signup begins from now and lasts through till February 1st. The completion date for models is the 31st of March, when you must post photos of you finished Vow model(s) or face humiliation and shame from your successful comrades! There is also a requirement for at least two WIP updates in between your signup and the posting of photos.

I, [insert name here] of the [insert subforum name here], vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least [units/models amount here] on or before the 31st of March, 2013. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done.

The Subforum Challenge is once again included this year. When you take your Vow, you select which subforum your army hails from (ie. the Throne of Skulls for World Eaters, the Black Templar subforum for Black Templars and the Liber Astartes subforum for DIY chapters). For every Vow completed, that subforum gains a point. The subforum with the most points at the end gains the title of LPC Champions and a subforum specific Vow Completed and LPC Champion signature. The current Champions are the Dark Angels subforum, who snatched victory last year from the two-time Champions in the Blood Angels with 42 completed vows (an amazing completion rate of 81%!). The Challenge is on! Will the Dark Angels retain their ascendency or is there another subforum with enough commitment to take it from them? If you are unsure under which subforum your army falls under, just post your vow without a subforum but with a Chapter name so that I can sort it out for you.

Although the Librarium is currently undergoing renovations, the punishment of an article is still included. More info on this as it comes to hand! This article can be anything, from painting tutorials to homemade Index Astartes articles to canon information on battle barges.

Once again, if you want to view the fun, mayhem and camaraderie invested in the Librarium Painting Challenge, check out the previous year's Challenge. Don't miss out on this once in a year chance! So what are you waiting for? Sign your board name here, grab those dusty paints, open those Christmas boxes of untouched 40k minis (board appropriate of course ) and join in!


Please note I will be policing the failed people from last year who haven't met their article requirements strictly...

[Aqui]

Just a question before I work out my Vow and commit to it. Is it within the rules to paint mini's from more than one army, but on behalf of one sub forum? I mainly ask because I want to submit mini's from two or three DIY armies (Steel Wings [iron Hands successor] Bahltimyr Reavers [Raven Guard Traitor successors] and Angels of Salvation [Dark Angels successor] on behalf of the Liber). If I'm really with it, I might even have chance to finally start a few mini's from the Amber Dragons [salamanders successors] and the Order of the Dauntless Spirit [Order of the Valorous Heart sub Order]....but we'll have to see :)

I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with a minimum of SIX articles (one for failure this year, one for failure last year and one for the year before, then double the whole lot for not getting them done in time) and wear a far worse Signature of Shame until my penance is complete, the articles of redemption are done and I am redeemed in my eyes and those of my brothers.

 

I figured double or nothing with the articles should be appropriate after my withdrawal from the LPC a few years ago and then my failure last year. If not let me know Sig.

Yep that's fine, you just have to choose one subforum for it to count towards :)

 

UltraRich and Silver Phoenix, sorry guys but I do need some sort of Librarium article before I can take your vows. It shouldn't take too long, whether it's a tutorial on how to paint blue or just a summary of the fluff known of a particular chapter's relic.

I do realize that this picture does not have the twinlinked bolter in it. I forgot that it was a wargear item and didn't put it in the pic. It will be shown in further pics of model which should be done over the weekend.

 

Who would have thought that we would have forgotten how to make a stormbolter a normal item on a whirlwind in 10k years :)

 

 

The Green Link in my Sig is my WIP. WIP pics are there for this LPC
