Arty is fine! But do avoid tanks if you can. But I see no reason why. Tanks should be excluded; thus if you mus have them one is alright

Upping the ante is the point right! These things always squeeze the best work out of me because seeing everyone else's awesome concepts gets the brain juices flowing. I love seeing the bad ass models that come from these competitions.

That album art was awesome by the way.

started with the work for this comp today... i think this will be a nice one... won´t tell you too much now... soon i show you some WIP pics tho...

I still have no idea what to do... Lucky we've got plenty of time - now what did i do with that thinking hat

my wife had the crazy idea to make a dio with a squad jumping over a wrecked tank... now...that is waht i call a wife that want to keep me busy... sheesh... a werecked tank model just for a 11x8cm diorama... a bit overkill,eh?

Got my first WIP up. I'm going to be doing a command squad post battle, need to visit the local store for more bits...

Sounds like a great idea to me (wish I'd thought of it...) , my wife justs says, "get those fething toy soldiers off my dining table" most of the time

well.... she does that too... from time to time^^... but often enough she encourages me too^^

I'm in! But a deadline of august seems a bit late...

Im in just for giggles

Count me in, I suppose.

best reason there is in my view

I've been playing around with some old figures and have a few ideas brewing, I'm thinking of having them in a firing advance so like the squad is pares and looks like they are peper potting. Also About tanks could I add a squad rhino into the diroma as well?

i bet you can add a rhino...tho it won´t count for the models then... if i understand the terms of the comp right...

I know that this is far too early but what about having round 5 a vechical round so you have to make a transport for your brotherhood and then a building to accompany it in round 6?

^ Boy needs to stop putting ideas in my head...

WIP

This image shows one Banshee the basecoat of Snakebite Leather (which may just be the worst GW paint to work with), another with a layer of Bleached Bone over it, then one with a wash of Gryphonne Sepia. The last is one of the original five to show the colours I need to work towards if they are to all work together as a squad. Relatively pleased so far. I don't need them to be identical, but I htink they will be similar enough. I may put a dark wash on the red of the original, if necessary...

Damn it, I like that idea. Now I'm going to be building a dropship for my brotherhood while building the brotherhood

Well by that logic I've still for another stormraven to build

Tbh, I'm not sold on adding vehicles beyond in form of wreckage for bases (which, incidentally, I'm not planning on anyway). I like the idea of unit + display base; more than that I think will distract from the focus of the contest. Don't get me wrong, I love tanks (indeed, getting distracted with them rather this just now!) and would love a tank or flyer contest - or indeed a dedicated transport contest - but maybe better left as a separate contest. If nothing else, I feel it inevitabły will disadvantage those who don't do a vehicle, or at least make most feel obliged TO do a vehicle to stand a chance.

But at the end of the day, it's up to the judges, and I'm cool either way. Just my 2c.

Maybe a "Total Wreck" competition - how much damage can you put on one vehicle and still make it look operational...

going by the standards of the race that created it... but maybe not you're right... Fething Orks.

add all the new guys. Total damage.. lol seems very silly.

I like the idea of the next competition being to build a transport for the unit from this round, or some other unit that you need a transport for.

the competitions are made to build a army slowly.

er...er...so making models for fun is not an option???...ohoh...

I only build for fun... I don't need an army...
