Commander Y Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Vavosas has been here a whole day, with one post so far, and already feels the pain we Moderators face every day... Maybe not the best opening salvo to make a ton of friends with, but he does speak truth...

Tirnan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 There are no stupid questions... but the world is full of inquisitive idiots. I may jump in on this as a way to break my long hiatus. Tirnan Wish I had an inquisitive idiot question to ask. I know can I mount the base on the back of 4 Elephants standing on the back of a space swimming giant turtle?Nevermind I'll just follow the rules.

Legacy40k Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 This contest seemed a lot cooler before Boltman won the Canadian Slayer sword! aw man! j/k now there is some extra tough competition (not to mention his standing in the last one) Its all good. I have a dread in the works, I dont plan on adding any figures (though somebody chained and bound in leather would work well with a Slannesh dread) what about skeletons/bones, how much of one would be too much (or any other model)? -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-541040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy40k Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 but realistically.. how hard would it be to sculpt them from scratch from greenstuff and attach them to the dread somehow? all you need is a blob with a big mouth and indents to imply eyes. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-545609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltman Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 This contest seemed a lot cooler before Boltman won the Canadian Slayer sword! aw man! j/k Rejoice, my children! For Boltman is not entering the dreadnought contest! :wub: Since I have an army to paint, I have too little time to side track. But most importantly, once you go all out on conversions, you never go back. The contest rules are there for a reason, but I find them much too restrictive for my imagination; I wouldn't want to paint a dread up and not do all I wanted with it in terms of add-ons. So I'll skip this one. Good luck to all!

Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Converting is allowed. So unless you were planning on adding other figures to the dread, then why not enter?

Chronophague Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 But most importantly, once you go all out on conversions, you never go back. Try fitting that phrase in with an all goblin, skaven or infantry IG army...:wub: I've converted my dread a fair bit already, I'm just not putting anything on the base that is a model(leaving space for later additions tho). You should really enter, since you apparently have some talent in making winning models :cuss Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-547476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycow Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Considering the time boltman spent on that awsome winning model the contest would be over before the first brushstroke. I really really want a digicam. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-548254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Contest is more about motivating folks to complete something for their armies vs getting a prize.

crazycow Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I know that but painting a crappy model just to enter seems a bit meaningless.

Boltman Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Well The Dreadnought project I had in mind involved models as casualties, being dragged. I would definetly not be in the spirit of this competition. Besides, I spent 4 months away from painting my army, and I really want to get it finished, my girlfriend is holding my Chaos Warhound Titan (at my request ^_^ ) until I finish the army! ^_^ And since there is already a Dread in the army... I can't wait to have it done though, then I can work on some other neat ideas I had for future Golden Demons... But how I could ever top what I did with Magmatrax is beyond me... :( Sorry guys, no Dreaddy this time!

Chronophague Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 But how I could ever top what I did with Magmatrax is beyond me... With the sort of progress you've shown, I'd doubt that you couldn't top Magmatrax quite easily. It's a completely other matter if any of the other board members could top it. ^_^ Now join the comp. ^_^ Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-549059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodai_27 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Ok - I have heard rumors that Venerable dreadnoughts are allowed for all chapters. Would it be allright to entr my salamanders venerable dreadnought ?

T14 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I'll take that as a "No"... Wrong! read the thread. For modelling/weapon option purposes, there is no difference between a normal or venerable dread. As long as it can pass muster as a game legal dread based on Wysiwyg... (without too much clutter on the base) you are good. Cheers, and happy painting. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/46870-bc-2nd-half-04-painting-contest/page/6/#findComment-551548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfatto Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I'm risking a good fishy slapping here myself. What are the boundaries for WIP pics that can be shared? Would induvidual parts (like just an arm or something to that effect) that have been pretty much fully painted be considered ok? Or are only unpainted or very WIP pics allowed?
