Attention Chaos Daemons Players!

[Brother Tyler]

Just in case you didn’t notice, the Bolter & Chainsword is holding a contest to design some Apocalypse datasheets that will be made available for download from the site. The theme for the contest was the Eye of Terror campaign in which Abaddon the Despoiler led his thirteenth Black Crusade out of the Eye of Terror and into the Cadian Gate.

 

The contest is designed around two stages. In the first stage, members were invited to design datasheets. In the second stage, members are invited to paint up miniatures in order to pick the ones that will be on each datasheet. Well, we’ve completed Stage 1 and have chosen both the winners and a few of the other submissions that received sufficiently high marks to be turned into datasheets. Now we turn to Stage 2 in which we’ll get some models to represent the datasheets.

 

How does this apply to you?

 

For starters, anyone is allowed to submit images for the datasheets – you don’t have to have submitted any datasheets in the contest in order to do this.

 

In addition, we’ll be using the same image cloning techniques that Games Workshop has used. This means that you’ll only have to paint up a handful of models to represent the various formations.

 

Lastly, there is a datasheet that might appeal to the members of this forum.

 

This datasheet is the Tide of Decay, featuring one of the greater servants of Nurgle and forty-nine Plaguebearers. The minimum required models for this datasheet are:

• Great Unclean One, or Herald of Nurgle, or Daemon Prince (must be clearly Nurglesque)
  
• 1 Plaguebearer pack consisting of 3 Plaguebearers
  

You can paint more than the minimum required models, of course. If you think you’re up to that, you should check out the specifics on the datasheet linked in the datasheet name above.

 

So if you think you’re up to the challenge of becoming the Chaos Daemons player whose miniatures are immortalized on a Bolter & Chainsword Approved Apocalypse datasheet, get to work. The deadline for submitting images is midnight EST on Saturday 28 November, 2009. This means you have about five weeks.
