				<title>Gamesday Chicago 2011 40K Conversion Contest</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ This was the event that I knew would win me back my admission costs this year, so I ran to the tables as soon as the doors flung open.  After clipping and pocketing 8 Dark Eldar blaster weapons and 3 pairs of feathered Dark Eldar Scourge wings, I went to work on my model.  Since I was first, I was lucky to get entire sprues, so I got a dreadnought torso sprue.  I also got a Tau crisis suit sprue that didn't include a torso.  Hmmmm.... This was the result:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/8/6/255706_md-Gamesday%202011.JPG" border="0" /><br /> <br /> I ended up being in a tie for first place with this guy's model, and his eventually won out:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/8/6/255707_md-.JPG" border="0" /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 9px; line-height: normal;">Automatically Appended Next Post:</span><br /> Mind you, we only had 45 minutes to make these models, and the glue they provided was awful, I only stood a chance because I had some hobby glue and kicker with me during the competition.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ How does the contest work? They give you a batch of sprues and tell you to figure something out?<br /> <br /> And 2000th post, w00t w00t!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yeah, they give you clippers and some glue, and a bunch of plastic sprues, and you have 45 minutes to build a creation for judging.  If your model gets selected for judging, then you get to keep it.  I made sure to do the first contest of the day, at 10:15 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(682);'>AM</span>, that's when all the new Dark Eldar sprues were still fresh and untouched.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I think yours should have won.<br /> <br /> You guys sure got some good sprues to work with.  At Baltimore last year all they had were various chaos crap.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I went to the Fantasy event.  I got a sprue of Chaos Warriors and three sprues of Marauders.  No daemons, no mutations, nothing cool like most others wound up with.  I wound up making about ten warriors for my troubles.  Next year, should I go, I'll be making terrain.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ So, you kinda cheated by bringing your own glue, and on top of that you stole a bunch of bits so other people couldn't use them later in the day?  Well, congratulations.  You're a real winner.]]></description>

But, yea, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> glue can be pretty damned aweful.  Honestly, a bottle of zip kicker would have been fine as it works with the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> stuff anyway.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Haha, the model that beat out mine in the first contest of the day ended up winning first overall:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=&pIndex=5&aId=17700019a&multiPageMode=true&start=6" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.games-workshop.com/<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>gws</span>/content/article.jsp?categoryId=&pIndex=5&aId=17700019a&multiPageMode=true&start=6</a><br /> <br /> Well played, Mr. Leonard, well played (slowly claps).  ]]></description>
