No worries BCK, save it for August, there'll be another chance then....... ;)

 

and with that

 

CHALLENGE CLOSED

 

I'll set to the hard task of picking a favourite.....

Apologies Jono for not getting time to post my completed model in time.  RL and mainly work got in the way - but eventually I did get all the bits needed and its built.  I'll take some pics this eve and get them uploaded this evening - better late than never though hey!?

 

You do (as always) have your work cut out though trying to pick a winner!!!  All the best pal!

No worries Raz, looking forward to seeing what you've come up with.

 

"Think big...." Like Rhino chassis big....? I could hope.

 

Good news on that front, just not for August..... ;)

 

Cheers,

Jono

  • Dreadnoughts => into a Venerable Dreadnought

Congrats to the top 5, Tommy's was my fav so good choice!

 

I'm well prepared for the next challenge, ive got 3 unpainted dread kitbashes from years ago ive been meaning to re do now I'm better at conversations. I think you should add in iron clads to the above, ive seen some great IC conversions around.

WOW, thanks guys, & especially Grotsmasha for running an awesome comp - I'm honoured & flattered to claim top place!

 

I certainly will be wearing the pip with pride (as soon as I'm on a proper PC - my tablet has trouble with pics!)

 

You've made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

 

Looking forward to the next comp!!

 

Thanks again, T0MMY

Congratulations to all the participants, and to the winner T0MMY!

 

Grotsmasha, in regards to the walker conversion challenge- will there be different model make up % rules than in previous challenges? I don't think people are going to want to hack up dreadnoughts, especially something like a forgeworld contemptor.  When should we expect the start up thread?

It'll start August 1st and the idea is to take a base model and add to it to bring it up to the Venerable/Relic, there'll be no % limitation on the starting model.

 

Top five ? Woop ! No walkers around though, boo. Hellbrutes are well past basic stages and WS dreads are like gold dust, so I'll keep an eye out for the next challenge.

 

After Relics of War in August, we'll have a Tank Challenge starting Nov 1st. But the real fun one, will be in April, I'm really looking forward to it.

 

Cheers,

Jono

Tanks you say? I'm in on that - being a bit of a tread-head... As for walkers. Might have some bits somewhere, or may have to break some models (ahem, I mean re-acquire some pieces) because my warpsmith needs a pet hellbrute... Hmmm... Thinking now...
