Subject Matter: Open Theme!
For this contest we want you to enter with anything involving painted miniatures and Chaos Dwarfs, Hobgoblins and all their misbegotten ilk and slaves!
The theme is completely open. Enter war machines, terrain, armies, single characters, civilians, dioramas, warbands, multiple units, ships, objective markers or whatever you fancy. Want to build a big hat workshop? Go for it! Want to model a sorcerous and prophetic rider on Bale Taurus duking it out with a High Elf on a Gryphon while flying high? Go for it! Want to model a Daemonsmith and his apprentices shackling a fire Daemon? Go for it!
Keep it as simple or as complicated as you like. Let your imagination run wild!
If you are unsure if your entry will fit the subject matter, please contact @Admiral and he’ll sort it out with the rest of the Staff.
Basing is unrestricted and up to your discretion. You may include plinths and display bases if you want. You may include fancy backgrounds. We want to encourage the creation of beautiful models and modelling scenes, not hamper it.
