EDIT - an update (25/11/08): links to the 2 competition entry galleries:
Ork Nob
SM Terminator
as soon as Dan activates these you can all upload your entries (see below). once you have submitted your pic(s), you are free to post WIP photos etc in this thread, if you like.
EDIT - an update (19/11/08): links to the 2 competition entry galleries (one per category) will be posted shortly. as above,
your entries can be submitted anywhere from the 25th of Nov up to and including the 1st of Dec. the maximum pic size will be
1024x768 pixels (any pics bigger than this will be automatically shrunk to that size). each member can enter
1 pic per category - you can make a collage if you like, showing your model from different angles (see the Objective Comp winners for example), or just a single shot - its up to you. more details to follow...
this competition is open to all members of AoS (including any newcomers before the closing date), and each member can enter 1 model in either or both of the 2 categories. entry is free, and the prize for the winners are the bragging rights (;)), and to get pictures of their models included in the AoS Competition Winners gallery.
EDIT: our partner site and official store GamingFigures.comhas generously offered prizes! see below for details:
Prizes
the 1st place winner in each category will receive a £25 Gaming Figures gift voucher.
however,
there is a limit of 1 prize per person, so in the event that the same person wins both categories, they will receive one £25 gift voucher while the other is awarded to the person who scored the highest out of those that came in 2nd place. if the scores between both 2nd place winners are tied, then they will share the gift voucher equally (£12.50 each) - if the same person comes 2nd in both categories, then that person receives the whole amount (£25).
Many thanks to KInG & Spack!
Categories
- SM Terminator: paint the free
WD Terminator (or a matching model from the
AoBR boxed set) in any way you like. The Terminator has a Storm Bolter & Power Fist, wears a helmet and is on a 40mm round base.
- Ork Nob: paint the free
WD Nob (or a matching model from the
AoBR boxed set) in any way you like. The Nob has a Choppa & Slugga, and is on a 25mm round base.
as above, you can enter one
or both of these categories - it is entirely up to you!
The Rules
1) Stock Models only. clean and assemble the snap-fit models as they come, with no conversions or modifications. exceptions:
1a) you can drill gun barrels out
1b) you can use greenstuff to fill gaps between components
1c) invisible modifications are allowed (pinning, weighting bases, using magnets etc are all OK, as long as they are
not visible once the model is painted)
1d) you can add
minor chapter/klan specific details in order for the model to fit into the rest of your army after the competition - just dont go overboard!
2) Stock Bases only. you cannot use different size/shape bases, plinths or premade scenic bases. you can use basing details and other parts from your bits box to decorate the base, but remember that this is a painting competition, not a conversion contest.
3) Transfers/decals are allowed. feel free to use transfers/decals to decorate your models. they do not have to be taken from the transfer sheet in the
AoBR box.
4) Do NOT post pics early. only post photographs of your entry between the 25th of Nov and the 1st of Dec (inclusive). more details will be posted on how to take the pics, and how to submit them, closer to that time. you can of course
discuss your entry in the forums before submitting it - just no sharing pics.
something to note:
a similar competition is being held on another forum (although it was suggested here before that was posted...
). if your entry qualifies for that competition also, feel free to enter both.
any questions, just post them in this thread.
cheers and good luck!
