AOS Marker Competition Thread 08/08 IT BEGINS!

Postby conscriptboris » Thu Aug 21, 2008 10:15 pm

UPDATE: Voting is now closed!

And the winners are:

1st: Spack
2nd: Culven
3rd: LadyRaven





Hi all,

So for those itching to get started......ill quickly spout the rules :P

- Entrants must be registered within AOS, so join quickly!

- One Month to complete your entry. (22 Aug to 22 Sept)

- Publish WIP photos in this link, final entry photo in this Competition Album

- WIP Photos are up to the people themselves, helps keep the thread alive and makes others worry if they are behind (WIP in this thread only) :twisted:

- Once time is up the voting can begin for 7 days. You will be able to vote for your top three favourites! choose wisely you only get one chance.

- The size limit is now going to be down to the player, it can be any of the 3 sizes of round bases! (which i believe is 25mm, 40mm, 60mm) They must be plain with no pre made stuff on them.

- It must be painted.

- On the date set, the entry finishing time will be 2359hrs GMT. However I know people live round the world so as long as it is done by the time I get out of bed the next day, then no one is put a the disadvantage of awkward timings.


So everyone is happy? I know there is probably some way around the rules to do something different (ive seen you all attack GWs tried and tested rules so I dont want none of it!) This is fun time, lets play the game ;P

Ok, the dice is rolled........*drum roll*.........oh, off the table, re-roll, ok its..............2!!!!

so the first marker is the command centre, hmm interesting, so let the competition BEGIN!!!]

BTW If your thinking I made the roll up, ask anyone who has played me, that roll seems about right :P

I have many bases, but I can't throw one that far, and I don't think you want to wait that long for the post to deliver it. ;)

I have my concept, I just need to poneder for a while, and then do some sketches. I may even post the sketches near the end of the competition. :)

Did you ask Tim? I recall he bought a bunch of those bags of bases and he wanted the 60mm that has a bit of a rise like the 25 and 40. He may have the thin ones.

I doubt that.

Oooh, important question, would one be disqualified if they were to build a "Command Center" instead? :?
