Got your Dark Vengeance sets yet? Looking to use the Helbrute as a Counts-As Carnifex? Or maybe using Chaos Cultists as GENESTEALER Cultists? Aha! Amirite? Then this is the competition for you!
We use a points system for models based on size. The idea is to do a minimum of 20 competition points in two months, scored as follows.
Infantry, 25mm base= 1 point
Cavalry, bikes, or 40mm base = 2 points
Monstrous creature, Dreadnought, or terrain larger than 40mm base = 5 points
Vehicle or Trygon/Mawloc/Tervigon = 10 points
Superheavy, gargantuan = 20 points
And here's the unique bit - we have a badge system, so that if you paint over 400 points (Codex type points) you can have an "Swarmlord" Achievement badge in your signature. So that even if you don't win the competition, you get recognition for going that extra mile. Yes, I still intend to make these.
Here are the rules:
1. You must post in this thread the list you are painting (it doesn't need to be legal unit sizes) AND a picture of the unpainted models (they may be primed though). You can do this any time from now until the end of the competition. BUT!!! If you are doing models from the Dark Vengeance box, you don't have to worry about putting up unpainted photos! We're smart here in the Hive, we know you didn't start early!
2. You must paint at least 20 competition points of models according to the list above, completely including bases (unless they are transparent flying bases).
3. You must post pictures of the finished models to this thread before the end of 31st October 2012. Ideally no more than 5 pictures in total, but you must clearly state that they're the final ones for entry in your post.
You can post updates as you go along, for feedback and to encourage others.
Once all the entries are posted, I'll generate a poll so that the entries can be voted on. We are looking for quality of painting. This is a competition. A signature badge will be awarded to the winner and the second place runner up. A badge will also be awarded to anyone who paints over 400 Codex points, whether they win or not. These badges are somewhat mythical, but they are coming soon.
So get painting! And let the best painter win!
