Maelstrom Painting Competition-only a few days left to enter
Something slightly different now.
The subject of this competition is the unit filler. With 8th edition encouraging the use of the larger unit size, an economical way of achieving this is the use of unit fillers. So, your task is to paint an interesting unit filler for either infantry or cavalry.
The closing date for entries is Midnight on the Sunday of Halloween weekend. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Any questions?
The winners from the previous competition are mentioned here

It is when you own 20 corsairs and you need 30 of them.DE_TE wrote:Whats a unit filler?
Instead of buying 10 more, you recall that you have some unused leftover bodies from another army, so you create a scenery which is exactly 5x2 wide, showing the slaves that the corsairs take along with them.
When you start the game, you have a 6x5 corsair unit with your 5x2 unit filler in the middle of it.
When some corsairs are killed, they are removed from the rear.
When 10 of them are killed, it is time to remove the unit filler and put back the 10 corsairs.
It is fluffy, it allows you some creativity with your leftover bits, and it is cheap.
Of course, you can do this with other troops than corsairs. Just find another idea, such as a reserve of bolts for the RXBmen, or sacrificial slaves for "sac dagger" spearmen, or a mini altar of Khaine for WE or Execs.

I haven't made a filler in years, so the quality isn't really up to what I would paint today, but not entering at all is for chickens

Dunno how to do all this fancy lighting control and stuff, just remembered I had this piece in my cabinet and might as well throw it in for the spirit of the competition. It's a Sorceress with a Sacrificial Dagger stabbing slaves.
What's mine is mine, What's yours is mine.

Well that was quite a disappointing number of entries, but well done anyway to those who did bother to enter. As there are so few who tried, I have decided to divide the prize fund between all 4 of you, so everyone is a winner!
