" Think your Chapter is worthy, whelp? Prove it to me! Take up my challenge. See if you are as worthy as you think!" he snarls, his voice gravelly and full of contempt. You slowly reach down. With your hand inches away from the gaunlet. As your hand closes around the ceramite armour you glance up at the veterans face. There is a gleam in his one remaining human eye and a crooked msile on his lips.
Its here, ladies and gentlemen. The inaugural Iron Gauntlet DIY Challenge. For those whom weren't following the ideas thread for this I explain what this is. I set a personal goal for 2010 to develop a new DIY Chapter, in models, fluff and an IA article. I then decided, to make things interesting, I was going to challenge people to do the same. Thus I'm throwing down the gauntlet.
The Iron Gauntlet will consist of FIVE challenges that I will announce as we come to their start. These challenges will range from devolping an IA to painting modesl etc. By the end of the challenges a participant whom has completed all the challenges will have a fully devloped and ready to play DIY Chapter army. Note that Challengers DO NOT have to take part in all Five Challenges, but may chose what ones suit their fancy.
Completion of any of the Challenges will result in the challenger recieving a signature image. As a player completes each Challenge an image is added to their signature to show their achievements. Completion of a number of challenges results in a reward signature for being a good sport. Each Challenge has a number of criteria that will result in the Challenger gaining one of four ranks: Failure, Bronze, Silver and Gold. What rank a Challenger achieved is represented in their signture. Completion of gold level in all five challenges results in a special signature.
Challengers may dispute their ranking on each challenge via PM to me and I will investigate any dispute fairly and thorougly or, if I feel I need to, will consult the Mods. Bear in mind that once you have appealed a ranking and a result has been decided, that result is final. There are no second appeals etc.
Because this is a inaugural Iron Gauntlet some rules may be required to change as we go, however they WILL NOT Change during a challenge.
The Chapter you enter can be a Chapter either under development in the Liber Astartes or a Chapter you have not yet started writing. Whilst someone may enter a Chapter already in the Librarium it is prefered if the Chapter hasn't yet reached Librarium status and if you do enter such a Chapter you obviously can't participate in the First Challenge (see below). Chapters can be Loyalist, Renegade, Traitor or anything else.
Challengers can enter challenges with different Chapters (As long as their all your DIYs). This, of course, isn't as cool as completing every challenge with the same Chapter.
For any further questions do not hesitate to PM me and I'll update this post accordingly.
