Austin Powers Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do terminator legs make a marine into a terminator? Probably not. (...) I keep wondering why this simple contest of "paint a chaos marine" must be so damned difficult for some people. I suppose terminator legs do not make a terminator marine, but I thought it would be safer to ask. And this nicely links with the second part of your reply. Taking a stock Chaos Marine and painting it is very straightforward as far as sticking to the rules is concerned, but if you prefer to do conversions and are in doubt about complying with rules I think it is better to ask (as I have in two instances) than to risk committing to a project than could be disqualified. ;) I am sorry if my questions sound superfluous. Not that I want to enter for the prizes, just want to participate, but being disqualified pretty much ends participation... :drool: Regards and thanks, Austin Powers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 I keep wondering why this simple contest of "paint a chaos marine" must be so damned difficult for some people. I believe Aaron the Unforgiven has the right quote for that Chrono: When considering submitting a piece for a competition, you must, without fail, ask said competition's coordinator any and every question you can conceive of in an attempt to bend said competition's rules and restrictions to suit your personal desires. This rule must be especially observed if entry into said competetion involves no fee and includes a prize generously donated by an individual who gains little or nothing from such a venture. I know no Terminator armour is allowed, but "TrueScale" figures are; but, having in account that a often used method to make TrueScale marines is to use Terminator figures' legs, are these allowed? http://www.duckblindminiatures.com/images/funstuff/mackarel.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Powers Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I am not attempting to bend any rules, I am just forwarding questions precisely to make sure I am within bonds before I start building. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugski Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I love these competitions. At one time or another my signature always shows up B) Still not too sure if I am going to enter this one. Time is everything, but everything costs time as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think you should all enter whatever you feel like, and pour your heart into the completion of your mini. When your done, it'll either be in the competition, or disqualified. The next morning, the sun shall rise again. I teach 7-8 graders...some of these responses resemble the behavior of my students...<internal voice echo> "I know I can do this...I can probably get away with this...I miiiiiiiiiight be able to justify this..."

Teg Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well, I said I would wait 'till I'd finished painting my Space Marines for a tourny before starting on my CoC entry. That tourny was yesterday (I came joint 13-16th / 18 :rolleyes:), so I now have no excuse to stop my evil modelling and painting now! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw, how old are 7/8 graders? In the U.K you subtract five to the age to get the year they are in. How does it work in the U.S? I've always been interested... because I'm cool like that :P M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teg Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have started on my model! (At last :sweat:) One part of the model is mainly tiny bits of junk held together with GS, which means the whole thing gets bent with the slightest touch. ;) I'll leave it to set overnight, then clean it up tomorrow... It'll probably be a nightmare to paint, too. Why did I sign up for this? :D PS: I hope that was ambiguous enough to avoid the 'Don't discuss your entry' rule. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM_TW Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I dont think I can make it. RL is throwing a curve-ball again... but if I DO make it, it'll be nothing special. So no Chaos-sorcerer with a 2-handed kite (actually, aeither a disc of Tzeentch or something similar) in his hands, being dragged across the floor, pretending to cast "winds of chaos". Maybe I'll try a bunny-eared bezerker instead.... hmmm... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
