Lets Get the word out on this one guys! I would be glad to have to fork out almost 200 bucks for prizes if it meant a good amount of competition!



Servius’ pid=‘3099’ dateline='1244173810To participate go to Rites of War and PM Servius with the unit you are submitting.

One unit, minimum size (though you can go larger if you so choose… I personally am) over a month. For free. Give it a shot, take a chance at winning some loot.

I’d love for this to be a fierce competition! I know there are some people with very nice painting skills and/or converting skills!

Any questions, please PM Servius on RoW

jolpis:

i’ll join in

will a warmachine do?

11

Hashut’s Blessing:

I sure will. jolpis, only regiments can be entered. Infantry must be at least 10 models AND a legal size. Cavalry must be 5 models AND legal size. Monsters etc must be 3 models AND of legal size. Unfortunately, that means no war machines…

12

Lord Archaon:

Monsters etc must be 3 models AND of legal size.

Hashut's Blessing
Monsters must be 3 models and of legal size, but Ogre-size ones must be 5+ models.
13

Kera foehunter:

so are these new ( unpainted figures) !! then we paint them for the contest

14

Swissdictator:

Yes, these are figures you have not yet painted.

They can be fully assembled and converted… just not painted.

15

Servius:

Aye, Swiss. Models may be fully converted and assembled previous to the contest but painting must be new. while this is tough to enforce (which is why I am requiring a Picture of the unit before the painting. Unless either myself or swiss can visually attest to the entry being unpainted previously (this would require us to be local.)

Also the models need not be GW or even for a GW game unit. But in those cases contact me on RoW so I can verify the entry previous to the start date.

16

Swissdictator:

A little under a week to register! We’re getting close to 21 participants so there is a lot of loot up for grabs!

17

Hashut’s Blessing:

Waiting for my pics to upload, then I’m sending the PM!

18

Swissdictator:

We now have over 20 people.

There are A LOT of prizes up for grabs, so I strongly recommend everyone check this out!

19

Hashut’s Blessing:

Excellent! I am the one that pushed us over! W00t!

Pyro Stick:

Wow i almost forgot about this.

Damn if the unit has to be completely unpainted then i wont be able to enter. The time allocated to complete the whole unit is about the same time as a Golden Hat runs for and thats only for one model. With the time that this has to be completed in i doubt i will be able to complete a while unit from scratch. I thought i would be able to enter a unit that i have already painted the first rank of. Then i would only have to paint about 10 models which is probably the most i could do in a month. I probably dont even have a whole unit worth of models that dont have at least some kind of paint job on them.

Actually, would i be able to enter a Bone Giant? Ive got one lying around that i need to strip and seriously give a new paint job.

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently a bone giant isnt a legal entry. Looks like i wont be able to enter this at all.
