Maverike Prime's Conversion Challenge #2

[maverike_prime]

Greetings to all. As some of you are undoubtedly aware, I had previously announced a Conversion Challenge that had a huge turn out and there's been a drive to hold another such challenge. Well here it is! Conversion Challenge #2!

 

I am announcing a new Conversion Challenge! For those of you that have been following the original discussion thread, or saw the prior challenge and want to take part in a new challenge, I know what you want to know. What is the required part.

 

The Required part for this challenge will be: Lysander's Body. This is the just the main body part, Not the arms, or shield.

For those of you who are new to this challenge, and want to know more about it, here is some information. If you have any additional question after reading this information, please post them in this thread: Interested in a conversion challenge?

 

Rules and Information for the Challenge:

What is this Conversion Challenge?

This conversion Challenge will be a 30 Day challenge where in each participant will create a converted model. The final model may represent anything the participant wishes, so long as it does not violate any limitations as outlined below.

 

The Challenge is recorded has having started Saturday the 24th of June, at 9am eastern time. All entries MUST be submitted prior the end time, of July 24th, 9pm eastern time. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS!

 

Limitation 1:

The final conversion must use the required part. There are few formal guide lines for the part so long as the judges are able to identify the required part in the final conversion. For instance, you can not take the required part and simply embed it in a mass of modeling clay to build a large model around it.

 

Limitation 2:

The conversion must be appropriate for this forum (Remember, we are on BolterandChainsword.com after all)

 

Limitation 3:

All submissions should be based on game appropriate bases, in this particular case either a 25mm base or a 40mm base. Try to avoid putting the conversion on bases larger then 40mm.

 

Those are the only limitations.

 

When is this Challenge?

The Challenge began 24th of June, at 9am eastern time. The challenge will run for 30 days, until July 24th. By July 24th, 9pm eastern time, ALL entries must be in. There is currently a panel of 3 confirmed judges for this challenge with a fourth on stand by if needed.

 

How do I submit my conversion?

Post pics of it. There are several free image hosting services available online including Photobucket and Flickr. You can upload your pictures to those services and then post links to them in a thread on this forum. If you encounter difficulty in getting the pictures uploaded, I encourage you to ask for help. For additional information on taking good pictures of your miniature, We suggest you take a look at the B&C's Photoshop Tutorial: Profession Pics of your Minis.

 

What do I need to submit?

Pictures. for simplicity sake, I ask that you submit 5 shots of your conversion.

1) Front or head on shot

2) A shot from the left side

3) A Shot from the right side

4) A shot from the back side

5) A 3-view shot from the front-right, or front-left. You're choice.

 

Here are Examples of Each shot:

 

head on shot

The Camera is looking directly at the model and the model is facing right toward the camera.

Left Side shot

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/left-side.jpg

The Camera is looking directly at the model and the model is facing To the left edge of the frame. This helps give the judges a sence of the depth of the model. What may look like a flowing cloak from the front, could be shown to be a flat panel from the side

Back shot

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/back-shot.jpg

The Camera is looking directly at the model and the model is facing directly away from the camera.

Right Side

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/right-side.jpg

The Camera is looking directly at the model and the model is facing To the right edge of the frame. This helps give the judges a sence of the depth of the model. What may look like a flowing cloak from the front, could be shown to be a flat panel from the side.

3-view

This is the "Damn! Does this guy look hawt!" shot. It also helps give the judges a better sence of the model as a whole.

 

if the judges need a different shot of your conversion, we will contact you and ask for a specific shot. If when viewing your images we can not clearly see where you used the required piece, we will send you a message asking you to point it out for us.

 

Where do I send the pictures?

On this forum. Submit a post in this thread.

 

What were you saying about the required piece?

The required piece is the primary point of the challenge. Anyone can make a cool conversion with their own parts. But when you're limited to needing to use one specific part, it becomes much more of a challenge. In that spirit, this conversion challenge is limited by the fact that you will be required to make use of a specific part in your conversion. Please understand, that I am only requiring you to use the part. I make no requirement on how the part is used.

 

For example; Lets say the required part is this Space Marine Body. To have a qualified entry for the challenge that body MUST be used. You may want to use it as the central part of the conversion and convert a Space Marine Sergent directing his squad forward under fire. Perhaps you want to convert a scene where a Chaos daemon just ripped a gigantic gash down the length of the body so you take a dremal to the body carve out the gash and green stuff in the ravaged armor edges. The final conversion has a Blood Letter standing over the recently ravaged marine. That would be fine. Perhaps you want to swap out the head so you take your dremal and core out the head to put the half-cybernetic head in it's place and go on to convert an Iron Father who just wreaked a Tyranid warrior. That would be fine.

 

What about painting? As already stated, this is a Conversion contest. Not a Golden Daemon or Golden Bolter. You will receive no extra credit for a good paint job. In truth, painting your conversion before we announce the winners will probably hurt your chances at winning as painting tends to hides a conversion, and the key point is that you must use the required part.

 

If you have any questions regarding this Challenge, please post them in this thread: Interested in a conversion challenge?

I thought I'd kick things off with an entry of my own. Of course I disqualify myself from winning since I'm judging. But it's all in good fun, right?

 

I'm a Terminator. I win. Period.
