WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm hardly a fan of direct only, and even if i ordered Lysander, by the time he would be here there wouldn't be any time left to convert him decently It's certainly worth bearing in mind for the next challenge, that Direct Only parts do take a while to arrive.

maverike_prime Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Wow... this challenge might just be a bust. Do your Hobby centers really not carry Lysander in store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 None of the UK GW stores stock it.. I'm waiting on mine from GW Direct. Hopefully it should be here soon! I'll definately get my entry done in time, it's just gonna be a sprint rather than a marathon! :P Edit: He's arrived! Time to get busy!

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hands up then, who else is on board for this one? :D I'm really happy with how this one is coming along, it might even be the start of a new battleforce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Huh. By coincidence, I've had a mini based on Lysander's body sitting around half-finished for literally years. Any chance I could enter it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Getting seriously short on time now! Coming along ok but it'll be close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Wow... this challenge might just be a bust. I think you might be right on this occasion. I've got mine nearly finished, I'll get it all wrapped up for the deadline and posted but I don't think anyone apart from you and me is participating! Maybe a plastic part will make the challenge a bit more accessible next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Done! ;) That was a close one, really pleased with how it came up. :yuck: Hope there might be some other last minute entries coming in? Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Seriously can't believe that there's no other entrants. How disappointing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm surprised, but at the same time I'm not surprised. I'm more disapointed that no one told me the UK stores, or more apparently, the Non-US stores, don't carry Lysander in store. I mean there were some general mumblings about having to buy the model, but that was about it. So ideas for the next challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboli Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 maybe use lukas the trickster or calgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it doesn't explain why mine was the only entry & I'm in the UK! Still, hopefully the next challenge will attract a 'bit' more interest. :) My suggestion for the next challenge is the plastic laurel wreath from the command squad sprue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestin Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The plastics seems like a good idea to me. The player has to select a specific character with a metal figurine (such as Vulkan or Dante) and create a version entirely out of plastic bits that is clearly recognizable. Either that, or everyone has to make their own counts-as version of a specific character using only plastics, which must clearly be recognizable as the original. That second one seems extra challenging, since you have to stick to your army's theme, while clearly imitating another army's signature character.

Tutteman Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Unless the people suggesting Calgar know something I don't...I doubt anyone will buy a £30 pack just to get a Calgar legs for this challenge...Sorry. I'm still holding out for a themed idea. Like Last Stand or Hero Truimphant? But failing that plastic parts...I dunno ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But failing that plastic parts...I dunno :devil: that did cross my mind earlier, but all i could think of was 'recon' which would result in near identical scouts but if sombody has a good idea, i would like to hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverike_prime Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 hey wings, out of curiosity are you entering these challenges just has an excuse to motivate yourself to build models for your Nurgle Marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Haha, I'm definately NOT building a Nurgle army, that mini was a pure one-off for this contest! That way bankruptcy lies! I'm going to do a bit more work on it and then it's going on that auction website. I'm sure someone will give it a loving plague-infested home! Also, where's my winners badge?! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
