Who will be voting?
You will! The vote will be public like out past contests open to EVERYONE. But seriously if you cheat..we will find you, we have in the past and we will again.

There will also be a category for Staff Entries, but we won't be winning anything. There will be an updated post with more prize information as we gather it in the near future.

ReplyDeleteNice to see you are running this competition again.
Can you enter a Dread Knight?
(is the answer any different if it looks like a robot-walker?)
If it has an armor facing value in the codex, it's allowed :)
ReplyDeleteCan the piece include crew figures? Just checking as the article did state no infantry.
ReplyDeleteOf course the vehicles can include crew. Someone needs to drive these things :P
ReplyDeleteim doing a custom build armoured core (giant robot) would it count if i entered it as a missle sentinel?
ReplyDelete-fuzz
Yes, as long as it has official stats and an armour value.
DeleteIs primer-black okay, or are you looking for TOTALLY unpainted plastic/greenstuf/etc?
ReplyDeleteawesome, will send an entry in the next day or so.
