Master Painter 2016

We're starting to paint GruntZ squads today - which can mean only one thing! Time for LSCWC's Master Painter contest to return! This year, MP will form part of the GruntzArena season. It's simple. For the next two weeks, we will be painting GruntZ squads in B11 during Friday lunchtime for use in the crucible of the GruntzArena. Once painted, all GruntZ will be photographed and posted to this blog, where a poll will be held allowing the world to choose the best painted squad. That squad's painter will be crowned champion and showered in glory.

Term Two: GruntZArena

GruntZArena is full contact gladiatorial sport at it's finest. Teams of six heavily armed warriors, each with a Base Station to defend enter the arena. The team which captures the most Base Stations wins. Use of assault rifles and laser carbines has been authorised.
GruntZArena is a 15mm scale skirmish wargame, using the GruntZ rules system.
Figures include Eureka Miniatures Ventaurans and Sci Fi Germans and GZG Alien Mercs.

This term we will:

• Build team base stations
• Paint team figures
• Play four rounds of GruntZArena league play
• Play two rounds of finals

There will be some manner of potent prize for the champion. Remain attentive to this blog for further details which will materialise in the fullness of time.
