I\'m up for a challenge Nick! fancy scratch building something, rather than just painting a mini? Might make it more interesting, and in a way beat the credit crunch!:)

Y\'know what? I, the referee, will accept the newb\'s challenge. By the time our 28 days of painting has past, I\'ll have a new camera and will be able to take pics of my finished product again.

Name your mini, sir or madam!

I\'d take a challenge, (I don\'t think I\'d do very well as I still can\'t take decent pictures) But It\'d be fun. It\'d have to be limited to GW though and I\'d want it to be maybe something I already had. Beasts of Chaos? Space Marines? IG? Any takers? Oh and I think this\'d be one to post on the referee\'s account it would be more interesting to have a comp where it was anonymous. (It seems like some peoples challanges aren\'t)

The referee account is happy to accept postings for purposes of the challenges.
Yes, there\'s a WIP thread out there for a Challenge that sort of detracts from the point, but that\'s their business.
It\'s interesting to see such thorough WIP\'s. :)

awsome straight into the competition and against the ref no less, this should be interesting.

It is good to be dueling you sir prophet, lets hope i can give you a run for your money

As for mini, after reading your first post on this thread im going to suggest a GW model as it will be something a little different for you.

The winged vampire lord:

Its got a bit of everything on it, skin, armour, cloth, fur and a bloody big wing.

If you are up for it?

If its not to your liking, then maybe

Wulfrik the wanderer (GW)
Ice queen of hyperboria (crocadile games)
Aoi Inukai (Anima tactics)

are all models that i would also like to have a crack at.

what you fancy?

I\'m game for that vampire.
I think my LGS has one in stock for easy pick-up, even.
I\'ll pick it up saturday (my next trip in), and we can officially begin sunday, assuming you\'ve got one, as well?

ok, it\'s time for me to throw down the
gauntlet.jpg


I have a specific challenge for anyone who thinks they\'re hard enough:

A conversion of a plastic GW Terminator with an adversary of your choice.

You may arm him (or her I guess) any way you like, but it should be based primarily on the plastic model rather than one of the metal characters etc.

They may be fighting any roughly man sized adversary.

This is a conversion challenge, not a painting challenge, let me be clear on that point! (If you\'re up for it we could then talk about a paint-based re-match on the aforementioned model!)

I know it\'s specific, but I\'m thinking of doing a squad of them, and would like to have a go at a test piece first...Competing like this will force me to pick up my game.

People dont seem to think it\'s a versatile kit... anyone up for the challenge of showing otherwise?

c\'mon, you know you want to

gwon! it\'ll be fun

gooowwwooooooonnnnnnnn!

becha can\'t
I becha.

chicken.

EDIT: Actually I\'ve had a change of heart... no I\'m not backing out, I\'m going to make this challenge specific to one CMONer... The undisputed heavyweight champion of the marine, Mr. Vincenti. He has provided me with such inspiration over the years with his GD entries, and I want to reach for the stars. Take this on Vincenti, it\'ll be fun!

So... Adie... U up for it?

Your avatar says you\'re chicken ;)

@Necroghast: i\'ll take you up on that challenge, been a while since i really painted, and i\'dd have to postpone a couple of other projects, but it\'d be fun. and the mini\'s in your gallery look more or less equal to mine.....

if you accept my acceptance of your challange, let\'s pick something 40K.

but, first of all, will you accept my acceptance??

I\'ll happily take you on Alex, that would be most entertaining I\'m sure :)

Also, I have some spares if I need to mail them to you...

...we could even have a face-to-face convert-off if you fancy it! Has it ever been done like that before??
