Paint Scores
Battle Ready is considered at least 3 colors that can be made out from 3 feet away. Bases do not need to be textured. Battle Ready gives players the +10 points paint score.
Players who wish to compete for Best Painted must set their army out during the Lunch Period of Sat Jan 31st with their name on a card or paper near said army at the last table they played at. Judges (Myself and 2 others) will come and score each army participating during the lunch period.
What will be taken into account? The FLG Paint Rubric guide will be used for judges.
