April Painting Competition

Our April Paint Event is about to begin.
Rowan and Wil Kenrith have been hopping planes and having adventures for most of their youth. They are planewalkers, spellcasters, fire and ice made manifest.
Running from April 3rd until April 30th you will have that stretch of time to enlist and paint your copy of Rowan and Wil Kenrith, and base them dynamically on any base size of your choosing. The theme of this event is fire and ice and your basing scheme should incorporate those themes. How so ? Well that's up to you.
Top Prize is $50
Runner Up $25
If we get three 16 and Under entries we will hold a separate winner for them, otherwise they can duke it out with their elders.
You must paint both figures fully and incorporate them onto a diorama base (your choice of materials and size) and fully base it as well, theme to Fire and Ice.
Any figures not claimed by the end of Sunday May 7th will be given away
