darthgus Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 yes, speaking on next time do you guys want a Required Part challenge or a Character Challenge? Personally I'd prefer a character challenge, simply because if I don't own the required part already I'm not going to go and buy a model just to get it.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Either way works for me, I actually like the required part challenges as they really make me think outisde the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong its a great concept... Its just that I'm poor and cannot go buying new models on a whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgus Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 How about this for a big conversion challenge... pick a theme and have everyone make a model that fits the theme... sounds simple doesn't it? But here is my suggestion: Ghost Rider! That is you need to convert a bike and a rider into a Ghost Rider style mini... sort of Ghost Rider in the 40K universe.

I'd say the contestants need to make an inquisitor and 2-3 henchman, it' a bit bigger than normal, but there are sooooo many possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I love ][ so would be well up for this, though I would say just go for the Inquisitor itself rather than the retinue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hey Kids, I'm sorry to say I will NOT be able to hold another Conversion challenge in the near future. My time has just taken a huge turn around of late and I no longer have much free time. Don't worry, I'll be back with a challenge in the future.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Awwww man! You know what though, I definately think we should keep the torch burning in your name. Who knows, if someone else takes the reins for a bit, you might even get to do an entry yourself! If no-one else fancies it then I'd be willing to run at least one. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgus Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 There is nothing to stop us continuing the challenge... we could always open the judging to a public vote, that way everyone can enter. All we need to do is set the challenge and pick the dates it runs between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 OH Gawd! I've created a monster! It must die! *Grabs pitch fork. Stands toe to toe with a bigger version of a Defiler* uhhmmmm... okay maybe it can live on with out me. Well if you guys want to keep running it, by all means please do. I'm not saying I won't be back, I'm just saying I'm going to be busy. In the last ten days I've started a new job, gotten a Web Design internship and started working on a School News Paper in addition to class time and projects. I'm working 40 hours a week at the job, and then I'm devoting 15-20 hours a week to the news paper and now I'm devoting time to the Internship itself and I still have to find time to do my class assignments. So my days got really full really quick. I'm still kinda struggling to figure out where the floor is so I can put my feet on it, then I'll worry about standing up and later I'll worry about getting my head above water. Is there anything I can offer to help out my successors? I mean most of the information is contained with in the respective threads I opened for each challenge. One thing I will say is if anyone asks "What are the limits on converting the part" if it's a required part conversion, don't try to get down to a set of rules and metrics about what counts as using the part and what doesn't. I think the best guide I came up with was to say "I want to be able to recognize the part in the final conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 sorry Prime, but this challenge of yours has become like Ultra-hate: unending and undying ^_^ i'm normally not the most initiative taking fella, but i may be willingly to take one round on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgus Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Would could set a rule that the winner of the previous challenge sets the challenge for the next conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 thanks, darthgus, now everybody is expecting things from me! ;) however, sins you all appear to have lost your genitails in the past few days, i will take this one on me so, unless anybody has any protest, lets get this show on the road and chose a theme/part thus far we have: 1. Inqisitor lord 2. Doomrider mk.? 3. ... all ideas are welcome ps: it apears my router heard me, as i lost connetion halfway wrighting this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Maybe some sort of veteran guard city fighter/combat engineer squad member kind of thing. I would prefer space marines of any codex or guard since I currently can only find my bits from them. An ork vehicle conversion would be awesome(I pick this for my top nomination).

WarInHeaven Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 may i remind you this is the B&C? thus: only power-armor, deamons, most things with an ][, and that's about it so sorry, but no Ork 'rides' still open for ideas people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I liked the idea of converting a counts-as for a specific character, as that way we aren't restricted to a certain bit. Also, I like the 'new Doomrider' idea. thus: only power-armor, deamons, most things with an ][, and that's about it And the Adeptus Mechanicus. Don't forget the cog-boys.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My suggestions: Count-as Tellion Marine with bionics (Could be a trooper or commander, up to you) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 And the Adeptus Mechanicus. Don't forget the cog-boys. my apologies, people with a machine fetish are indeed also welcome :P My suggestions: Count-as Tellion Marine with bionics (Could be a trooper or commander, up to you) added to the list: 1. Inquisitor lord 2. Doomrider mk.? 3. bionics with marine bits 4. count-as Tellion any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'd be happy with any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I like the Telion idea. You cooould replace the ork crew with space marines(think space wolf book 2). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 a counts-as from a different codex to C:SM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Pretty much, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 any other ideas? Master of the Ravenwing? A bit obscure, and hard to use in non-DA armies, and it requires a bit bigger budget than a normal character (as he either has his Speeder or his Jetbike), but it would be cool.
