Brother Tyler Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The hotly anticipated Arena of Death competition for our members begins now. The first round will involve a number of forums have smaller Arena of Death competitions to determine each forum's champion. After that, each of the champions will face each other in a site-wide Arena of Death competition to determine the overall Bolter & Chainsword Blood Duel champion.

Shinzaren Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Do we need a picture? I don't own a camera, but if we need a pic, I can probably beg, borrow, or steal one. EDIT: Ahh, thank you Ferrata. I'll make sure I get a pic up when I submit my entry.

Ferrata Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You do need an image of your entry (that just sounds wrong). It is just a good way of thinning the ranks a little, requires that bit more effort. Any kind of picture will done, even an 8-bit image from an old phone as long as we know it is a Space Marine.

Ferrata Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It would be to easy otherwise for people to enter - you have to show some effort. Surely you have a SM laying about somewhere.

I know - I'm just amusing myself. Nope, no models.. To be honest I can barely summon the willpower to log in most days, let alone shoddily paint a mini!

Codex Grey Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I hope it's not considered bad sportsmanship to use a model another guy painted (for my my Chapter), since I don't paint myself. Is it?

Ferrata Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 No, as long as it is a model (and we presume it is one you own and not just some random image of the internet...)

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Blast you! 'Shakes fist at picture necessity' Means that you might get a poor quality pick of a beautifully painted model. It has wings. Er, I can use Codex : Space Marines for a Chaos model, right?

Brother Argent Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well I plan on entering, just not sure whether to enter Arkel of the Sons of Bennu or perhaps one of the Iron Dragons.

Codex Grey Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 No, as long as it is a model (and we presume it is one you own and not just some random image of the internet...) Thing is, DarkKnightCuron has been collecting an army of my Heralds of Light since right after last christmas, and I have had several discussions regarding fluff and how that would impact his models. It started off as just the Captain and command squad of the 5th Company (which he actually offered to send to me after being finished, but I turned him down since I don't collect), but now he's building an entire battle company. And recently he commissioned another guy to do the Captain who turned out great, and I thought it would be cool to honor DKC's dedication to my Chapter by entering the Captain in the contest. So there's my explanation. I might be pushing it, but no biggy if I'm not allowed. Here's the thread with the model in question: Relevant thread Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206877-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2469080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Debonair Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Bah, curse my rotten luck. I haven't got any chance to take part in this, since real life is getting complicated at me. :D Oh, and I don't own any tabletop legal models other than the occasional bolter-only-marine*. :lol: I'll be restricted to cheering on from the sidelines this time. Go Liber! *And they aren't painted in the colours of a chapter I've written about, here or anywhere else. :sweat: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206877-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2469094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it? It should be a model that you possess, otherwise we'll be opening the floodgates for anyone to enter models that aren't their own. Now if you don't have any models of your own, perhaps you and DarkKnightCuron could collaborate on entering a model together - something along the lines of he creates the model and rules while you write whatever background you want. That would be acceptable. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206877-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2469177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you are short changing your Captain IMO. You have 30 points left to play with and could still give him more "bite" without having to worry about adding extra stuff to the model. Example, Hellfire Shells and Digital Weapons. Just my recommendation trying to help a fellow brother out.

Example, Hellfire Shells and Digital Weapons. Just my recommendation trying to help a fellow brother out. Thanks for bringing this up, as I was aware Hubros is underpowered. However, I was of the impression that the model should represent what items the Character has i.e. Relic Blade on Profile - Relic Blade on Model. I could be wrong (it has been known :D ), but that is how I took it. The reason, I bring this up is because I honestly don't know if I could sculpt said weapons onto a model if my life depended (I have only ever used Milliput than Greenstuff and I wasn't that handy with Milliput to be honest), so until I knew for certain or not, I thought it best to just leave them off the profile. Thanks again for the heads up though ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206877-blood-duel-arena-of-death-competition/#findComment-2469571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Oh hells yes. I will post my entry tomorrow and get a picture of him added too. Unless I decide to build another character to use instead :D (I'm guessing it will be alright to use a Deathwatch marine from my Chapter? Modelling purposes and such?)

Thanks again for the heads up though ^_^ True, as far as I am aware the model must represent the profile, and vice versa. However, Hellfire bolts and Digi Weapons don't need to be modeled on the mini. Hellfire ammo is just different ammo for the Bolter, and Digital Weapons are so small that you don't need to model them on.
