Iron Gauntlet 2010 - Challenge the Third

 

The veteran's one eye continues to glare at you steely. " Real fancy," he snorts derisively as you show him the livery of your Chapter, " But tell me, whelp, has your Chapter any heroes? Or are they all as... unimpressive as you?"

 

Okay folks, its that time again. As the First Challenge closes today I'll role out the next one. This time is character creating time. The challenge goes as follows:

 

To complete this challenge you are required to complete TWO new or Counts-As Characters for your Chapter. These Characters can be anything you want, from a dreadnought to a techmarine, a Chapter Master to a scout sergeant. All that matters is that the characters are DIY. Three rankings as usual and they are as follows:

 

Bronze HQ Skull - Complete one item from the list below

Silver HQ Skull - Complete two items from the list below

Gold HQ Skull - Complete three items from the list below

 

THE LIST BELOW:

- 500 - 1000 words Fluff for Character

- Complete to Three colour standard a model of the Character

- Rules and Stats for Character (not acceptable for Counts-As Characters)

- A picture/drawing of the Character

 

Note you only have to do three of the above list to complete the Challenge

 

The Third Challenge ends on the 7th of July, so thats two months people

 

To Accept this challenge simply post the following vow:

 

I ,Insert name here, accept your third Challenge and vow before my Brothers and Sisters of the B&C to provide TWO characters of my Chapter before the 7th of July 2010. I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and will help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May the Emperor or a giant pink bunny, uh, Chaos Gods, curse me if I fail.

 

Keep in mind people that the development of actual rules belongs in the HOMEGROWN RULES sub-forum here on the B&C

I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and will help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May the Emperor curse me if I fail.

 

...like I failed the First. Oh well, onwards and upwards!

[Maleagant]

I, Maleagant of the Archangels Chapter, accept your third Challenge and vow before my Brothers and Sisters of the B&C to provide TWO characters of my Chapter before the 7th of July 2010. I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and to help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May the Emperor curse me if I fail.

[Slick Jimmy]

I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and will help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May the Emperor or a giant pink bunny, uh, Chaos Gods, curse me if I fail.

[Argon]

I , Argon of the Oblivion Knights, having recently been turned into Chaos Spawn accept your third Challenge and vow before my Brothers and Sisters of the B&C to provide THREE characters of my Chapter before the 7th of July 2010 AD. I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and will help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May I suffer the wrath of Chaos if I fail.

 

So, three questions:

 

1. Do we post the characters here or in the Homegrown Rules forum?

 

2. Do I have to draw the picture or can we get somebody else to do it?

 

3. Does each character have to have the same three things? I'm doing two homebrew and one counts-as, but none of them have a model yet.

[Dark Apostle Thirst]

I accept the challenge to fulfil all three requirements for the Lords of Shadow. May my fists be consumed by flames should I fail.

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

I ,War Chief Madwolf Shadowmane of the Hounds of the Hunt, accept your third Challenge and vow before my Brothers and Sisters of the B&C to provide TWO characters of my Chapter before the 7th of July 2010. I vow to present these legends of my Chapter here in this thread and will help my fellow Challengers in their efforts. May the Emperor curse me if I fail.

 

Started the fluff on the first of my two characters. The thread can be found here.

[Brother Argent]

So, three questions:

 

1. Do we post the characters here or in the Homegrown Rules forum?

 

2. Do I have to draw the picture or can we get somebody else to do it?

 

3. Does each character have to have the same three things? I'm doing two homebrew and one counts-as, but none of them have a model yet.

 

1. Post the Characters with finished rules here, if you develop them. There will be no discussion of rules here, only a quick poost of them. Develop them in Homegrown rules but post them here with your character when done. Simply so the Liber doesn't get bogged down with discussions meant somewhere else.

 

2. Well whilst it would be cool if you did it I suppose I can accept someone elses art. HOwever give them credit for it. Of course you only have to do three of the list to get a golden skull so you dont NEED to do artwork anyway

 

3. Nope. One can be fluff rules and picture, whilst the other can be model, picture and fluff or whatever. If you do a counts-as character the rules bit doesn't apply, as their already written for you.

 

Oh and because I should

 

I ,Silver Phoenix of the Sons of Bennu, accept my third Challenge and vow before my Brothers and Sisters of the B&C to provide TWO characters of my Chapter before the 7th of July 2010.

Quick question, can these characters be part of the 500-1850 pts we are painting for the Second Challenge?

[Brother Argent]

Captain Nightengel: Yes, that would work. Although its more awesome if you do different ones ones from the Second challenge would be acceptable.

Can we post links to threads we start in the Homegrown Rules forum?

[Brother Argent]

Yep, I suppose that would be allowed.

[Dark Apostle Thirst]

I vow to complete the challenge for the Wraiths of Darkness as well. May I be ridiculed if I fail.

[Ferrata]

To post your characters

 

Do you need to create a new model for this or could I use a pre-painted one?

[Brother Argent]

Pre-painted would work I suppose. Its more about creating a character that is shown in both his rules, fluff artwork and model, (I know I said both there) then about painting or drawing. Its about expressing character of the character in whatever format he/she taes.
