Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Soooo to keep things moving and lively!! let's start to discuss the next contest !! ^^

Do you want me to throw a dice against this listing, like I did last time? or do you prefer another method?
Also before the theme is selected, it would be a great moment to make additions to the list, so suggestions are most than welcomed, let's leave a one or two weeks spacing between the first league and the following one, so we can discuss and comment without haste and maybe in this period of time the following list can grow little bit.

I also think that the 2nd contest should allow for people to have Christmas and all those family and friends compromises without messing up things too much, so I would say let's start the second league on December 1st. and end it with the endings of January on 2016 so we'll have plenty of time to scheme and plan ahead.

1. Ladies and lassies of middle earth
2. Maya month, and it is not the bee!
3. Trolls or the thing you don't want to face in the night.
4. Fighting dudes, like in the batman tv show or even better.
5. Ringbearers, Hey I did wear it, you don't?
6. Black is the absence of colour, or the Nazgul month
7. Manly men, or how to wear a long beard and it's multiple uses League 01 October - November 2015
8. Mikea or middle earth furniture, plants and nature friends
9. Plate armour, is it a myth or not?
10. To the spears!! or the month of the rider
11. Are all orcs green?
12. The third breakfast or how to became a good hobbit by "the attic warden"
13. Is it hot down there? or the "southern thing" month
14. To elf or not to elf or the "do they have pointy ears?" month.
15. Postcards from middle earth, or which vignette I choose for this month?

Roll a 14 faces dice

That would be a little bit irregular.... xD

Seems that there's a bit of consensus about rolling a dice will wait a little bit more for it though.
If you have a desire of adding items to the list please go forward!!

roll a dice!!

Oooooo Great!!!!

I have a question...can be MS589 King Ostoher miniature inside this rank?

Oooo this is a great rolling dice result !
I am sure many of us can choose and do great paintings here.

I must look at so mnay minis before choosing which one.

Maybe the chance to paint the Galadriel on horseback figure M400. Hate to see her in plate armour so an excuse to paint and be rid

B****ks , Thank you for pointing that one out Master Chris, I shall search through the hoard for another figure

I have chosen M93.

Great selection of miniatures here!!! I can't wait to see them painted!!

Plate armour?

In fact it's just an excuse to paint a miniature with a majority of metallic surface whether it's chainmail/ringmail or full armour it does not matter.

Did so :-)

Soooo again the end of the 2nd League is approaching so I gathered up our "themes" list again, so in a few days we can start the third edition.
I really wish some more people join it, as it is not just about skill, but to listen, learn and share opinions ^^

I had an idea for a couple of "themes" more so I will add them to the end of the list, and remember that you all can make suggestions and give opinions (in this thread please) about new themes or contest mechanics!
