Chronophague Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 No he didn't. Besides once this goes over to page 4 do you really think anyone else is gonna read the first 3 pages? Hmm, apparently my ":huh:" got lost somehow, I definately recall putting one after the "Invalid" joke... I think only 30% is gonna read the rules, even if it was the only post in the thread. Asking is more important than reading to understand. :P I wouldn't mind this whole thread and it's contents being slimmed down to the two or three posts that are half sensible. It's always the same thing with these B&C competetions... Rules--No Oblitterators!!! UserXXX-- Can I make a Oblitterator? R0xx0r. --> Mackerel...

Stormwulf133 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Ok, a friend of mine helped me build a dread. He sculpted 2 icons onto the dread, but the rest of the work is mine. I have yet to paint this dread and just started it last night. Would this be a legal dread to use? I have to ask because some painting contests allow others to do some of the conversion work, and some do not. If not, I guess its on the the EC dread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 but by having everyone with the same model it makes it easier to decide as it's not oh that's a better model than that one, by everyone haveing to paint a dreadnought of some sort it narrows it down in the model type and then it's mainly voted on the paintjob as some models are easier to paint than others eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystlyfe Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Alright folks it is time for an all new painting contest here at the Bolter & Chainsword. We have done Rhinos, we have done Banners, we have done B&C Marines, General Heros and even a mini-army, so now it is back to basics. Cheaper, like those minus the rhino and 40k in a flash army?

Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Aaron the Unforgiven once said: When considering submitting a piece for a competition, you must, without fail, ask said competition's coordinator any and every question you can conceive of in an attempt to bend said competition's rules and restrictions to suit your personal desires. This rule must be especially observed if entry into said competetion involves no fee and includes a prize generously donated by an individual who gains little or nothing from such a venture.

JMcL63 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I think UltimaMouse has a fair point. If the B&C wants to encourage as wide as possible participation in their painting competitions, then a basic single mini comp is a good idea. Not just from the point-of-view of cheapness either, but also because a basic single mini is easier to finish quick enough to actually enter. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Vidius Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm with Ultima mouse and JMcL63 on this.It would be better for an HQ model of your choice e'g Librarian chaplain. or you could do a chapter master comp were you model your chapters chapter master or use the existing models and paint them. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 One little problem with single models tho. It's the been there done that dilemma. There's already been at least 2 single model categories. And besides, the comp is on the way already, and some people, including myself, have already bought their dreadnoughts. I doubt the mods even want to try and change the contest subject any more...

Commander Y Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I also find it highly amusing that UltimaMouse finds this contest "too expensive," given this quote from a thread below: HRM... its hard to find magnets small enough to hold a sponsen and also.. the sponson stick things that hold them up are really fragile.. i just went out and bought two of each kinda tank.. (six altogether) and i swap for what ever mission i need! Really, folks. The contest is for a Dreadnought -- something every army has a version of, and something that nearly every player would like to include IN their army. If you can't get ahold of one, or think it's too expensive, or don't like the concept... THEN DON'T ENTER. Simple, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 but also because a basic single mini is easier to finish quick enough to actually enter.Sorry but I cannot accept a complaint on the amount of time given to paint a dread as a valid complaint for this contest. You guys have more than 8 weeks to paint up the dread for this contest. More than enough time for even the slowest painter on the board (SCC ;) ) If the B&C wants to encourage as wide as possible participation in their painting competitions, then a basic single mini comp is a good idea. And no the contest won't be changed because a few folks feel it is "unfair" to have it be about Dreads. We have done single minis 3 times in the past and the turn out for those contest has been right in line with the turn out for all the other contests -- around 30 or so entries (40k in a Flash being the exception). So a single "cheap" mini doesn't increase participation to any great degree or we would have had huge turn out for the B&CMarine, The Chapter Hero contest or the "any Marine" contest (back on the old EZBoard).

JMcL63 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Fair comment Kurgan. But my comments were not intended as any kind of complaint about the current competition. Any sense of complaint about this, or previous, B&C painting comps were unintentional, and may well derive from my own personal frustration at being unable to enter recent comps (largely for the hinted reasons you might have inferred- quite legitimately I must add- from those remarks of mine to which you replied) after enjoying entering the first one. Rather, I was agreeing with UltimaMouse to suggest that future B&C painting comps might include simpler, single mini requirements. your own comments on whether or not such things might change the uptake of a B&C contest have the irrefutable advantage of knowledge over mere impressions. If I was wrong on that, well I apologise. That's it really. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberious Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 As long as I keep the cover in place my dread should be legal (working on full detailed and lighted interior, but with light off and lid in place it is not noticeable). This contest has given me an excuse to buy the dread I've been wanting for the last 6mo, but I've just kept talking myself out of buying one. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Seato Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 That mackerel has seen quite a bit of action since this thread started. Can I enter it, interred in a dread of course, for its holy and most righteous deeds on behalf of the Inquisition? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbeard Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I'm glad I read this. I just started playing 40K and my first painted figure is a penitent engine. I was going to just post it, but I need to buy more lights for photographing. Hehe, now I can put it in a contest instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 Some do..but for this we follow the Golden Demon method and that means everything needs to be of your own elbow grease.
