Oh, feth... it cost you a Dremel? cry.gif

And while accepting your compliment, let me pay you one myself and say that even I have never been brave enough to try to convert one of those pewter bricks that they call a Chaos dread. He looks great.

Also, if I hadn't taken so long to figure out what to do with my Contemptor, I was going to convert the plasma cannon into a volkite, so you one-upped me there. :D

Sorry for the tardiness brothers, real life has poked its head in to jab at me, but anyhoo, Augustus' entry from the sign-up thread,

and now,

RELICS OF WAR ENTRIES CLOSED

Damn, the first of my Challenges that I have failed......I will however, still finish my entry with the next Challenge. I'll need a few days to sort out some Favourites.

Cheers,

Jono

Good luck to the finalists!

 

I would've liked to enter but a number of real life complications denied me adequate table time to hack up forgeworld dreads for the contest.  Grotsmasha-- are you still allowing people to enter previous contests whenever a new one crops up? 'Cuz I really wanna knock out this dreadnought conversion! (and get a pip)

Yep, all previous Challenges will be open for the Treadheads Challenge starting October 1st.

Sorry for the delay, we found termites and I've been flat-out renovating. I'll have a Challenge Favourite and Banners/Pips hopefully by the weekend.

Cheers,

Chopping up a brick of pewter is not adequate. It's not even average. Insane and perhaps a little masochistic? Sure, but it takes something to do what most modelers wouldn't even consider.

My first wife was a very temperamental and volatile French Quebecois. I know pain and suffering.

In comparison, this dread was a Saturday afternoon on Panama City Beach, in the Red Door Saloon, enjoying half price drinks with the sea breeze hitting me. tongue.png

Yeah, that whole French thing doesn't do it for me. I don't really care for the language itself or the accent it imparts on broken English, but glad you got out of that.

Hey guys, the primary hold-up was that I was wanting to have the banners and the pips ready before announcing, but I've had so little time.

 

So without further ado, the Challenge Favourite of the Relics of War Challenge goes to.....

join me in congratulating Augustus on his fantastic entry, it was a hard choice amongst a bunch of excellent conversions.

I'll P.M. everyone with Banners and Pips once I've had time to make them.

 

 

 

Now, moving on to further news, a new challenge comes October 1st. To finish out the Challenges for 2014 we have

 

 

Grotsmasha's Conversion Challenge 7

Treadheads

 

 

This is a two month, two part Challenge. Part one is to create a brand new, unique vehicle. You will need to create a small fluff piece, as you would find alongside a unit in a Codex. You will also need to provide a stat line, a points cost and any upgrades available to it. 

The second part is to model your very own tank variant. Any chassis from any board appropriate army is acceptable.

 

So what constitutes new? 

It could be a previously unused weapon load-out.

It could be a new pattern of an existing vehicle.

It could be a modified transport capacity from an existing vehicle.

It could be a vehicle from the fluff that has never had rules or a model (Custode Grav-Rhino I'm looking at you...).

 

There will be no parts restrictions for this Challenge as well, if you can build it, and you cannot find it in any current or previous Codex, it'll be a valid entry.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

 

Cheers,

Jono
