So, deadline 26th of june, I assume that entries can be made during the entire day? +9 GMT or whatever it was the us had?

Hopefully I won't have to but it's nice to know.

I just sent my entry in! Yes, early, but I didn't want to forget or leave town before the deadline. I did just notice that in my e-mail every single quote or double quote appeared as a question mark... Weird.

After reading the rules, a simple head swap would be ok yes?

Thanks!

Hey guy's I am new to the website long term reader short term poster (blah blah blah), Just wanted to say I am really excited about this challenge and will be entering into it with a offshot Cadian command Squad I've been working on for the last few days. But so far I am loving the freedom that the new Command Squads have given IG players. Oh and Good luck to everyone who is involved.

I'm going to take a wild stab here and guess the reasoning is to draw attention to the new kits.

This was pretty clear, what isn't clear is the reasoning behind the restrictions. You're going to get less entries and less conversions.

I'm in. I'm not the greatest painter and have only been at this a year, but IG are my first army and they could use a new command squad anyway. Plus my wife thought the idea of a contest was an awesome way for me to get involved and went out and bought me the command squad for me to paint. Damn I love my wife!

Oh, man!

I can't wait to see these entries - I just wish I had the time, the money or (for that matter) the need of another command squad. Frustratingly, I now have three which are redundant!

Have fun, everyone...

What is the deadline to submit an entry? I must be over looking it.

In this view I guess it makes sense to base it on the kits.

My first impression was that it severly limits the range of possible entrants and that it doesnt make full use of the IG range, its players and their creativity.

For sure I have difficulties in seeing why one would have an unfair advantage by having to hack and slash through tons of metal in order to get the kitted out command squad ready (as is the case if you are using the other ranges).

On the forgeworld however (particularly the deathcorps) I understand it, heck, they even look so good that they look out of place!!

I'm thinking of entering this competition, but do you ship to Malaysia (South East Asia)?

Re: 40k HOBBY CHALLENGE: IG Command Squad Edition

Simonski — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:26:38 -0000

I could well enter, would shipping to the UK be possible?

i think everyone should stop worrying about "what is legal" and just submit yor command squad that you were going to build anyway, if its disqualified so what, its not like you bought a £15 boxset just to get an outside chance of winning a £35 one...

at the end of the day this is a painting competition, it shouldnt matter about whats underneath the paint, just that it fits the theme: ig command squad

TSINI — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:11:59 -0000

although i agree, the part about the crappy paint job wouldnt fly due to this really being a painting competition.

Boo-urns! This has to be one of the new catachan/cadian HQ boxes? I have been stripping and re-painting my Mordians for quite a while now, and could easilly do my HQ squad for this, but the fact that I HAVE to use the new model box means I can't submit them.

I can't believe I'm sayng this, but whoever came up with this idea sux.

I guess that means I am gonna have to buy a camera. And learn how to use it.

My only question now is which command squad to use? I have 3 so far. This is my third Guard Army!

Grumbles... the motivation I need just as I leave for my summer job off in the woods for two months. Col. Kilgore needs all the Valkyries he can get! (plus motivation for me to make him and his surf buddies)
