Zealot Of Chaos Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Is there any word on the new challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 yeah sorry, had a nicer series of unforseens culminating with a dislocated shoulder, a trip to the emergency room and dealing with an Osha investigation at work. I'll be making a new challenge thread shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'll be asking questions here now in light of my previous blunder :) How far does the count-as thing go in representing weapons? In your example you used the Blazing Axe of Khornate SomethingSomething Slaughter to represent Seth's Blood Reaver, but to what extent can this be used? Can Azrael's Sword of Secrets be represented by a polearm, or a mace for example? Edit: Does he need Dark Angels iconography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Excellent choice of model. Now I have a reason to buy robes and other assorted bits. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I hope it didn't hurt too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Azrael's Sword of Secrets be represented by a polearm, or a mace for example? Edit: Does he need Dark Angels iconography? I'll answer the simpler question first: Does he need Dark Angels Iconography? Nope. No chapter iconography is required. As for the weapon: Azreal is armed with a sword so what ever your model is equiped with, it should viable be able to be explained as using the same stats and rules as sword, or power sword in this case. A Pole Arm I can see utilizing the same stats and rules as sword. A mace... I could see a smaller mace working in a smiler fashion to a sword. Basically, I wanted to avoid people putting power fists on their models and claiming they were Close Combat weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it didn't hurt too much. Oh you know, nothing like having a TV fall on you from 30 feet up to make your day. Thankfully it was only a 22" and not one of the 60". THAT would have done a lot more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply! :P I just have one more question (for now :P). Can any of his wargear be represented by trophies? (like the Protector or the Lion Helm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any of his wargear be represented by trophies? (like the Protector or the Lion Helm) hmm, good question. I'd say as long as you can physically point to something on the model and say "This is that piece of wargear" go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 i'm happy, real happy :P something big, mean and ugly (in the good way) comin' right up! and i give ya all a little head-up: i'm going to tackle the Dorian Heresy :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 and here's the link for the current challenge: Conversion Challenge 5: Counts-As Azreal Be sure to spread the word. No offense to you guys, but I would like to get more then 5 or 6 participants in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onipunk Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Might help to say what "Protector" and other specific bits if wargear actually ARE for anyone who wants to participate but doesn't have access to a DA codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LardO'Blood Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Can we reuse conversions we did in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Can we reuse conversions we did in the past? as long as it meets the requirements and it does not violate any of the limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 So, why is there the limit on metal? I understand that reusing the Azrael model would be real lazy, but there are some good Dark Angel bitz out there in metal. The previous challenge had the same limitation. What is it about metal that gets it cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 So, why is there the limit on metal? I understand that reusing the Azrael model would be real lazy, but there are some good Dark Angel bitz out there in metal. The previous challenge had the same limitation. What is it about metal that gets it cut? mainly it's to force people to adapt, but it's also to avoid the endless questions of "What is part of a model?" Say for instance you wanted to use Azrael's sword. Is the sword part of the model or is it separate? I mean the first challenge I did was required part challenge, you had to use a speccific part in the challenge. and someone made the comment to the effect of "If I take the part, submerge it in a mass of green stuff and sculpt a greater daemon around it, does it count as using the required part?"

Zealot Of Chaos Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Right best get my thinking cap on, sorry to hear about your shoulder. **edit** Is there anything preventing me entering 2+ models or is it one entry per user? I only ask because having ordered parts to make a loyalist counts as I came across my old Chaos bits box and started bitboxing a guy together and would like to enter a loyalist and traitor, if I can only enter one I'll enter the loyalist (provided I finish him in time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It's gettin' to be a lot of equipment for one guy, can we make a count-as Watcher in the Dark to carry something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 since the regular Azreial model uses a second model, I'll say using a converted watcher is fine. Just don't make the watcher/servitor/thrall/whatever more impressive then the marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Sorry to disappoint guys but I can't get a model done for this one, have a whole BB team to produce in the next fortnight. Time is NOT on my side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So, a pretty disappointing turn-up, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I don't know, I think the standard of entry this time was really up there, as good as we've seen so far. Perhaps we should try a specific part challenge again to get a few more people involved, seems like the no-metal approach is putting barriers in the way of entrants.

GooseDaMoose Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Only 2 people :( But yeah, I think the specific part contests are a lot more interesting and challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
