Chronophague Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 PS:whens the entry pics guna be up and running????! We'll you are gonna be waiting a bit longer. There are 44 Frater entries and 13 mod entries for a total of around 171 pictures. So it's gonna take me the better part of the day to get things set up and ready (no thanks to those of you who sent in the 800k single photos.......). So I suspect voting will either start late today or first thing tomorrow. Reading skills ftw.

HellChyld Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 keep your shorts on. he'll mostlikely have them up later today as he announced. atleast you dont have to wait several days like some forums where they have 2 or 3 people working on it and you wait a week before voting starts.

NeoHunter Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 He probably has too many entries to sort out. And don't forget! Each entry can have up to 4 pictures. Do the math.

Allerka Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Keeping in mind, the bulk image uploader only lets you do four pictures at a time, plus he can only re-upload them to the B&C server as fast as his own bandwidth will allow, then organize, label, and provide another other editing to each entry. Doesn't help, like he said, when some pics are nearly a meg big a piece (If you estimate one MB total size per entry, that's 44 megs of data he has to upload, and most home internet connections have very limited upload speeds). At least, that's what I'm GUESSING he's doing. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1381786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Then you also have to take into concideration that Kurgan suddenly might get caught up with his work IRL and thus prolonging it ever more then already necessery.

Legacy40k Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kurgan has a life beyond this forum? Admittedly I am getting impatient, I want to see all the models that are better then mine!, I kept all my pictures to 200k or less so hopefully they didn't need reediting.

NeoHunter Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well done to all the entrants! I see a lot of great work there! I think it will be quite difficult for most people to decide on the three best painted Chaos miniatures in this competition.

Allerka Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Good GOD that is some fantastic stuff! Everyone should be extremely proud of what they put out. Full armies of any of these minis would be beautiful sight, indeed. And, yes, I'm definitely boned for winning as well. :yuck: Also, I think it should be mentioned, and just to double-check, contestants can't vote for their own entries, right? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1382550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the winner might want to use their new minis to do that, who knows ;) And though I'm pretty sure, I know the answer, the question came to my mind, too.

NeoHunter Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hmm...if you were to take all the miniatures from the contest and assemble an army, you would have the most disorganised army in the whole world I think. A riot of colours too. Hehehee... I don't think you can vote for your own entry. It wouldn't be fair.

Reaper31 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I was thinking the same thing about the voting for yourself issue....But even if you could, its a rather unsportsman-like thing to do.

Wiflewood Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you're allowed to vote for your own entry then you're effectively just reducing everyones votes to 2, as most people would vote for their own (even if just to stay in the running) There really are some awesome minis there, so many different styles of painting and converting, and loads of really cool poses as well :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1382674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Some great stuff here and in the mods thread. It's going to be hard to figure out the three to cast votes on. Guess I'll just go with my oldschool approach and save the favourite models to a folder, and then reduce pics till I got 3 left. :D Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1382678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoHunter Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I do feel that some of the photos, especially mine, could benefit from better lighting and photography. Too bad I didn't have good lighting in the first place.

Reaper31 Agreed! Voting for yourself would be a very unsportsmanlike thing to do. :) It is great to see such a vigorous community response to this competition and congratulations to everyone who entered the contest - there are a lot of really nice miniatures there and it will be really tricky to decide who finally gets the three votes in each category. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1382775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured it should be mentioned to ensure there was no confusion. Didn't want people thinking I was asking to see if I could get away with it, or something. :P I'm still stuck at five to pick from... *Sighs* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/113890-the-call-of-chaos/page/16/#findComment-1382802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Unfortunately we had to pull an entry from both the Frater and Mod categories this morning. In the flood of entries that came in at the end I let em slip past so apologies for that. Also a good point that reading the rules thoroughly before hand! On the other hand, the folks who had their stuff pulled can of course go and post it up for discussion now.

Iacton Qruze Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'm amazed. I always figured there were a coule of people that always turned out the spectacular pieces, but there are a ton of really awesome entries. my hat is off to all the participants.

brninghalo Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 This was the first B & C contest I have participated in. I am glad to see such a healthy turn out for entries. The mod entries and the frater entries show the amount of talent that the board comprises and it was very difficult to select only 3 of each to vote for. As many others have done, I had to save pics and then slowly eliminate until I was left with 3 in each group. I'm interested in finding out who eventually wins-they will have earned it. Congratulations to all of the entrants, both frater and mods.
