Grotsmasha Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So while the B&C was absent, I posted the question to the members of the IBoH forum to a positive reception. As the title says, would people feel about a Chaplain kit-bash competition? Rules would be along the lines of: 1- Not to be painted, conversion only. 2- Must have Crozius and Skull Helm, doesn't need to be codex legal, rule of cool here. If a bare head is used, the helm must be attached to the model or base. 3- Maximum of 25% existing metal/Finecast: ---25% consists of the following combinations; --- Head- 0% can be from any existing model ---1x Arm- 12.5%, 2x Arms- 25% either from the same or seperate models ---1x Leg- 12.5%, 2x Legs- 25% either from the same or seperate models ---Torso- 25% 4- Green Stuff/Sculpting putty is fine, small details to full sculpts. 5- 1 calendar month build time. 6- Multiple entries per user. 7- Wolf Priests and Dark Apostles acceptable 8- 3 options for judgeing; ---1- I'll put up a prize, and be solo judge, ---2- Forum-wide voting. ---3- Contestant only voting. I'll be participating for funsies. I'm thinking April for the challenge, that way the LPC will be done, and everyone has time to plan and get bitz. Any suggestions? Something you'd all bee interested in? Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demus Ragnok Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 3- Maximum of 25% existing metal/Finecast: ---25% consists of the following combinations; --- Head- 0% can be from any existing model ---1x Arm- 12.5%, 2x Arms- 25% either from the same or seperate models ---1x Leg- 12.5%, 2x Legs- 25% either from the same or seperate models ---Torso- 25% Regarding the highlighted, do you mean that it is acceptable to use a head from an existing chaplain model?

Grotsmasha Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 @ Demus Ragnok: Yep, exactly, you can use any skull helm from any existing model and it does not count towards the 25% rule. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercus Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I wouldn't mind having a stab at this. Might be my last chance at modelling for a while as my second daughter is due at the end of April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sweet!!! I'll PM everyone near the end of March as a reminder. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This sounds like a great idea, however rule three is a wee bit confusing. Is that a maximum 25% metal/finecast from each constituent model (eg: all of it can be finecast/metal, just that the arms, legs, torso etc. must be from differing donors) or 25% metal/finecast total (eg: the rest is FW resin/plastic/sulpted components)?

Grotsmasha Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 @ Olisredan: The finished kit-bash should be no more than 25% metal/finecast. It's to prevent people sawing two models in half and swaping the legs over, stuff like that. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdfox Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I might join this. However, i'm planning to use leftover parts from a painted jump-pack Chaplain that i cut apart and turned into a Wolf Priest. Is it fine to use parts that are already painted?

Grotsmasha Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yep, that should be ok, just dont want the whole model painted as it masks some of the conversion. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 sure i'd be up for that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Would it be ok for us Chaos types to do a Dark Apostle so that we can play too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 @ Danny Cyanide: Yep, absolutely, covered in Rule #7, but it must comply with Rule #2 which is mandatory skull helm AND (Dark)Crozius. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm up for it! Chaplains are my favourite 40k minis, as you can tell from my avatar :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Admetus Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I would be up for this, if I didn't already have somewhere in the region of 6 chaplains, 3 of which are scratch-built. I also don't trust myself to wait until April to start doing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoros Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hmm. Interesting. I might be up for this; either a Chaplain of the Cult of Flames or something like a Blood Priest of Khorne... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CovertToaster Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I see a bit of a hole in your rules Jono. Seraphicus is not metal or failcast so it wouldn't stop me from sawing him in half and bunging him on different legs which are potentially still not metal or failcast. I mention this because it's super easy to get multiple copies of this model from ebay giving me plenty of oppourtunity to destroy a couple or three experimenting.

GlauG Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Totally up for this. Want to get my sculpt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Are third party parts allowed, or GW only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 @ Jolemai: 3rd party pieces are acceptable. @ CovertToaster: I have actually considered this loop-hole myself, and the final version of the rules will expand that rule to include and named special characters, wether they are metal, Finecast or plastic.

Captain Cirrius Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I didn't read every reply but as far as voting goes, my suggestion would be that it be contestant voting only, with each contestant given two votes if they choose to use one for themself, that should be legal, but both votes can't be cast for only one one entry (apologies if I didn't explain that well).

Disruptor_fe404 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm planning to make a counts-as Thulsa Kane soon. Unfortunately, he does not use a Crozius... Though I was planning on incorporating it into either his relic blade or his backpack. Also, what's the word on Forge World parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
