Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Jeff Zorn]

Howdy,

Just a brief announcement:

NASAMW Historicon Painting & Modeling Competition - 2005

Some people paint toy soldiers in order to play, others play in order to
have a reason to paint. We are all somewhere on this continuum. NASAMW does
an excellent job of promoting the playing aspect of the hobby. Now we are
going to promote the painting and modeling aspect of the hobby as well.
NASAMW will be sponsoring two painting and modeling competitions this year.
General and specific guidelines are:
1. All entrants must be NASAMW members.
2. Figures can be from any and all ancient/medieval historical rule systems
(however, no modern, sci-fi/fantasy) and be in any scale.
3. Cost to enter is free.
4. Figures are to be brought to the NASAMW table on Saturday morning before
9:00 a.m. and will remain on display until 7:00 p.m. There will be a little
paperwork to fill out (entrant's name and what historical army the figures
represent), but this can be done any time from 12:00 Thursday onward.
5. All painted figures and modeled scenes must be the work of the entrant.
I.e. entrants may not use figures painted by someone else.
6. Entries will be judged on a combination of painting and modeling skill
(including figure painting and modeling of bases) and historicity. Since no
one is an expert in all eras the judges will be aided by short written
statements regarding the historical quality of the entrant's work (part of
the paperwork in #4).
7. 1 entry per person per category
8. Please no winning entries from previous years.

Judges and two gift certificates are being provided by The Last Square as
prizes for the following:
1. Army Award: For best sub-part of an army. Entries must be 30-40 figures.
2. Camp/Baggage Award: For best camp mini-diorama scene. Entries must
include whatever would at least be the minimum amount of baggage as
required by their rule system, or in the range of 8+ figures. For example,
the minimum in DBM is 4 stands of baggage.
