Excellent. I'm in on this.

**Polonius**

Hmm, and I just happen to have some primed 30k EC Vehicles waiting to be painted....

Maybe I'll do a full Contemptor Talon.

A walker would certainly count for this challenge. It's a machine, after all!

Sadly I'm nowhere near complete for this sneaky challenge. :(
Real life has struck once again! As ever!

Got as far as some black and silver base colours on the assassins. What a let down hehe

haha realised this was the wrong thread for that!

Erm... I like the 'something new something old'

I saw that, and I am not murdering a defiler model to make a walker. I'm gonna try using wood and plastic to build my own legs. when does this challenge start?

**Buttery Commissar**

Ahh, I assumed bitz sellers would have the pieces.

**Priest Foxley**

so copying someone elses design is ok? I thought that was plagarism or something.

**Buttery Commissar**

Because they put a guide together on how, in this case it'd be fine.

Seeing one and being inspired to do something in the same vein is also fine...

Straight up lifting someone's custom painted, hand-built diorama that you found online would be kinda crappy. There's the line.

Would Servitors count in the 'Rise of the Machines' category?

Absolutely!

Whoops! Completely missed the thread. I'm sure I've got a vehicle lying around.

What's the policy on failed to finish previous entries? ie for the first challenge I failed to finish my Ravenwing command squad. They're still just primed. I abandoned and entered something else. Would I be allowed to enter one of those? I'd rather not, but thought I should ask in case my desire to "close projects" overpowers me

PS I'm assuming Tau crisis suits are in

**Paradigm**

Either is fine! So long as the proof is eligible then it's all good!

**meecham63**
