Welcome to the fourteenth, and definitely not the last, monthly painting competition (#PaintComp) here in the OnTableTop forums.

Taking a page from @warbossd gaming club book as inspiration there will be a key word or phrase set at the start of the month and anybody who would like to participate can paint something up, build something or engage in whatever creative outlet strikes them, as long as there is at least a tenuous link to the key word.

Then, not later than the 25th of each month, post your results here (not in the project system!) and we all get to do a community vote on it! Voting will open the day after entries close and will close at midnight local time on the 28th with results posted the following day.

There are no prizes involved, only fun! It’s not mandatory. It’s just for fun.

This month’s key phrase is:

Fire

I think this is a theme that can be interpreted in a whole lot of ways and in (almost) every game sytem / style.

Nice choice. No idea what I’ll do for it yet, but I’ll be sure to try and submit something.

you don’t feel the burn ?
nothing that fires your imagination ?
does it have to be literal fire ?

can’t you be fired ?
It’s so hot I thought we were in the fires of heck …

Well I was going to be (possibly) cheeky and paint a campfire, but when I went to collect the model I found I’d already painted it. Damn me for being so thorough. I need to think what else I could do.

If you stand next to someone with a gun and shout “Fire” I’m sure something interesting will happen.

I’m working on Abyssal Dwarfs and the clue is in the name as far as their connection to fire goes. I’ve got a fallback elemental if I’ve got time or enthusiasm for it.

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you are working on.

I was going for a firing team, but I am just home after a week in Berlin and think I won’t have enough time to finish it. I also got a backup model that I surely can get finished in time. So let’s see what will be the entry this month. Success to all.

Fire!

Not the model I’d planned to do (that was a campfire terrain piece, but I found I’d already painted it months ago) so in the interest of taking part I’ll throw in this cannon I painted last week. I hadn’t intended to submit it so it’s a fairly basic paint job.

Here’s a regiment of Abyssal Dwarf Decimators with their blunderbusses. Pew, pew, pew!

Almost finished my models, tomorrow I have to do just the last bit of basing and then I can make some pictures.

Here’s my entry for this month. It’s from the Grand Cathay faction for the Old World, the Cathayan Fire Rain Rocket Battery and crew. Hope you like it.
