Preparing to Invade (Painting Score)

To help participants understand how the appearance scoring for Invasion Kenosha II will work, a series of articles have been written to show examples of what is required to earn points. These are only examples and general guidelines for what is the expectation for each question. The judge has the final say when it comes to actual scoring and whether or not an army meets the intention of question.

1. Is the army fully painted? (5 points)

One of the fundamentals of Invasion Kenosha is for participants to bring a painted army to the event. This may seem like a daunting task, but in reality, meeting this requirement is rather simple. Every model must be base coated a minimum of three colors. (Note: In the image below, we are talking about the model, not the base. The base is there for reference and to show the model was primed white.)



2. Is the painting level of the army consistent? (4 points)

The second painting question is meant to ask whether all of the models share a common painting scheme or if units look like they were painted for different armies. It also asks whether or not all of the models have been painted to the same general caliber. (Note: The first image is an example of not consistent. The second image is an example of consistent.)



3. Does the army have shading and highlighting? (3 points)

The third question asks if the models have been painted a step beyond just base coating. This question is not asking how the shading/highlighting was achieved, only that it is clearly present on all models. This means that a solid base coat and a nicely applied wash will typically meet this question.



4. Does the army have painted details? (i.e. eyes, banners, jewels, etc…) (2 points)

The fourth question is looking for the little details that can only be added via painting. Each model is different, but every model has little extra things that can be painted.



5. Does the army contain an example of what the judge would consider to be complex or very detailed painting? (1 point)

The final question is the toughest to both describe and earn. Unlike the other painting questions, this question only requires a single model to have reached this level of painting detail and skill. The judge is looking for that model in the army that really stands out because of the painting. Something special that says a lot of time and love was put into the model. To be clear though, this question is not about conversion work or basing. It is about the paint job alone on the model.
