Oh and GAR, maybe add a link to the users post in their comment thread so people can quickly view all the updates etc otherwise you'll be continually editing posts.

Yes!
(that's what I've already said)



And I don't want to get punished!
(love the idea of an official punishment)

Ok I want in. I am gonna use my baron that I am making where do I send my pics?

The Archon's Challenge Stage 1 Baron Sathonyx Edition.

Awesome! i've been lurking long enough, time to jump into the fray, and hopefully get my army done:)

Are none GW models allowed?
To keep some level of parity in the models, non GW parts maybe used in the conversions, but models must be GW to begin with. Alternatively, a completely scratch built ( Green stuff or other modeling putty) model is acceptable as well.

I might be having a dense moment but can you clarify for me if forgeworld is ok?
I have a forgeworld torso that I have added to with GW bits.

awesome comp btw

I can guarantee that FW counts as GW in this case.

When will the next theme be announced?
Well i will guess it to be Core, but still ;-)

Well according to ESE's update on his Project Logs, were getting Troops next...which I have a unit already built oddly... I'm looking forward to doing the next round then this one xP

Also, just saying I've updated my entry in Stage 1 with WIPs.

[b]THIS WAS ONLY A WILD GUESS! I truly have no "inside" info!

I'm going to start a rumor thread and reference 'inside sources' that the next entry will be Troops - then I'll become an Internet sensation and take over the world.

No worries ESE, though it would make the most sense for Troops next due to compulsory FOC.

Also, Thor you sir may have just won the 'net xP

Sweet.

Now that we've got the snowball rolling we might as well start calling this the truth!

Guys, I have an idea. How about instead of making Troops choices deal with Elites beforehand?

We have Trueborn that can be fielded as Warriors.
We have Bloodbrides that can be fielded as Wyches.
We have Wracks (yeah, they can count as Troops too but are Elites)
and Incubi, Mandrakes, Clowns, Hunchbacks of Notre-Dame... we could even add skipped Court of Archon (without Archon)!
Not to mention most of You probably would like to add some "second in command" models...

Also, there is another reason. Those units are small, so they aren't as big step forward from single model as rest units.

I'm going to abstain to avoid GAR thinking that we've hijacked his contest!

Well 'Second in Command' already applies to my entry for HQ due to a number of issues e.g. parts snapping, lack of confidence in skills, unable to get certain parts but mainly Mandrake's 'failfire hand' for Archon or upper body for Male Succubus when i had the money to buy them.

Personally, Elites or Troops is fine by me though Elites would mean there'd be more variety in the entries.

Oh and should mention, my Kabal's true Archon will be done some point soon (i hope) when I get more confident in kitbashing/blending kits....and she's inspired by a Disney villian xD

Funny, my Haemonculus is also inspired by Disney, specifically one certain musical number.

From times when Disney did what seems innocent if You are kid and literally slap You in the face if You are adult.

OT rant here \/

Spoiler:

My Disney villian is no way as grand as your inspiration L_O but she's a personal fave of mine...you may be able to recognise who she is when I get my suboardinate Archon painted up.


Also, lap dancing princess? the hell? xP

And it's not even "musical number". There is no words, no point, just... lap dancing princess.

TWICE actually, since vid was montaged from two separate scenes.

Bonus point for another Archon inspiration, Duke of Zill.

Today I learned that your definition of lap dancing is different than my definition - I was also kind of experiencing an odd mix of both relief and disappointment that this was the case.

G rated lap dance.
Sorry.
