#MFXTOP

So week 1 is almost up, so I thought that I would quickly type up the dates that things are happening, even if just for my own sake. Plus a few clarifications.

Times, Dates, Places

Tomorrow (at time of writing) or Monday the 6th of January, you have up to "midnight" to put your entry in for the first week...

Tuesday the 7th of January where I will make a post, with your twitter handle and nice shiny photo.

Firstly, I say midnight in quotations as really any entries made before I write the post will go into it.

Again to make your entry tweet @TheMalibros with your best photo and the #MFXTOP plus, for clarity, a message saying that it's your entry.

From then on the next 3 Tuesdays will have the same thing happen.

14/1 , 21/1, 28/1

On Tuesday the 28th of January, the post will not only include that weeks entries, but also will the date that I will announce that "Voting has opened" and will be all the way until Thursday the 30th of January at "midnight" to pick that months Tyrant of Painting, which'll have it's post on the Friday, and as previously mentioned where February's competition will start.

When the votes open, I will clarify how to do so, but simply, it will be twitter based.

Lastly, a few clarifications.

What the FAQ?

Wave 2 models  are allowed to be entered, for the sake of "what if the points go down when you said 7+ and it was 7?" first of all. Meh. Secondly, this is fine, the themes are themes, the rules aren't really meant to be hard and fast, it's all about fun.

Entering more than one model is not really "legal", it's arguable if there is an advantage to adding multiple anyway (I guess you may hit different fans), however if the case is you paint a miniature week 1 and enter, but then by week 4 you decide you have a better entry, do it, enter.

All I ask is, please mention this is what is happening in your tweet. I can then delete your old entry before voting happens. Something I will check anyway, and yes, I will "bother" as it's only 3 other blog posts to look at.

Cheers and good luck

If you do have anymore questions, check the previous post first, then, if still not answered tweet @TheMaliBros or even me directly @Psientologist use #MFXTOP or leave a comment on one of the blog posts.

Have fun with this everyone!

I am so pleased how well this has already kicked off you cannot understand.

If we can all get this to carry on the way it has already in the first week, Tyrants of Painting will get bigger, meaning more pretty miniatures for us to all look at and share, everyone learning, improving and basically becoming better hobbyists and making Malifaux even more of a game for people to take a second look at if they haven't already.

Lastly, please spread the love. Get your friends involved, let people know you're painting something for #MFXTOP and direct them to here @TheMalibros blog.

Thank you again
