I have a model almost completely assembled, but want to do more and paint it, is it acceptable, or does it need to start from tiny pieces and go from there?

^Ditto.

I have something that I've roughed out but needs a tonne if work. Would that be allowed or does it have to be something brand new off of the sprue?

Also, it's 9cm/3.5inches tall but it's not a 'codex unit' just something from the depths of my imagination. It could probably run as a Daemon Prince if I had to give it a name. Is that a suitable Monstrous Creature entry?

as long as it is not posed flying it is good!

Then, sir, consider me a participant! I'm very excited about this!

We are only here to judge the paint and finish look, any assembly stage is fine even up to the primer.

One tank is the minium, more are allowed.

Am I right in thinking that Monsterous Creature entries have to be armoured in the 'tank' theme? I'll be doing that anyway but if it's not necessary I might not put on quite as much.

Well I'm in then. I was going to finish my crusader leviathan, but as I am currently working on my necromunda figs, my arbites ride is getting my attention. Progress has already begun in my p&m blog. It started from a tank from the dollar store. Here is the current standings of it.



It is part of my grim dork dark comedy police force.

Well how does one make a big creature tanky? Are you saying Thick carapace? I would have to say a large creature should look bulky, but for lack of a better way to say this, there is no clear way to define a creature as tanky. The only limiting function I am going to have is that it walks on the ground. And preferably without wings, but it can have them if not modeled flying.

Wait... Is floating ok?
If not, Seeker Chariots!

I had a brainwave about my other exorcist turret

I had made a sob to go inside this one (entire upper assembly comes off) but she's disappeared into the warp

floating isnt flying. A skimmer tank is still a tank

Well, the MC I'm planning to enter is floating

He's based on the Deciever model, so I just wanted to make sure it was A-OK.

Well I was thinking that they might have to be wearing thick armour but I guess that wouldn't work with things like Tyranids. If it's not part of the brief that's a good thing though, it means I don't have to put on more than I intended. Mine will be firmly on the ground and wingless too so I'm all good.

Hmmm, I think my entry is going to be a bit on the boring side. It's gonna be the humble Rhino.

It's all about marketing, dude! It's not a boring and humble Rhino...

It's a study of a blazing emblem of the Imperium! The universe's never tiring pack horse! Herald of war, deliverer of judgement. A trusty mechanical beast that's tread the surface of thousands of worlds, carrying the Emperor's finest so they can execute His will!

Now that... that is how you up sell.

I'm in, and I'll try to actually complete my entry this time around. You said drop pods were ok?
