Attention all Clan Skyre Engineers, a competition is being held for the creation of the greatest clan skyre weapon. This device must fit upon on a chariot base (may be no larger), must be painted, original, and must have a suitably inventive name with some background. The contest shall commence immediately and a poll shall be held in 6 months time to decide the winner. Post pics of your weapon design to be judged (a separate topic will be started for the purpose of posting only).
can someone from admin stab this topic, much appreciated

Hi.

Great idea! This can run nicely alongside the abberation competiton in the Clan Moulder forum.

We can simply run this exacly as a paitning competition, but with a longer entry time and possibly a whole months voting.

A year might be too long, as peoples ideas may fizzle out.
How does 6 months for entry and a months voting sound?

Wish I could plot like you can, you must have a mind like a corkscrew to turn all those scheming corners

That's an excellent idea for a competition :) Look forward to seeing how it develops and what people come up with for it. I'd like to enter it myself. Is a year a bit excessive though?

i thought the aberretion one was running for a year, was using it as a template for this one, but yes six months sounds fine
ahh my mistake the aberration one is running until the end of the year not for a year
@scarfester how long do you suggest the entry period should be then? and there has been questions as to whether you will be giving painting points for this competition (it was my intention that it would merely be a cool way to share ideas, display modelling prowess, and provide an impetous for a new project, therefore as a primarily fun based event, although considering this is a skaven forum people are always looking for an angle :P)
mutate: just post if your entering (just so i can get a rough estimate as to how many people are in fact interested/ involved in it), as to my entry i have an idea it's a bit ambitious though :ph43r: .....but of course that's what clan skyre's all about

No Slaves Were Harmed In This Production.....yet Dev

Ooo... excellent. I can definitely see myself entering this. A couple of questions tho...

Can we enter multiple times? Not necessarily planning on it, but nice to know.
Does it have to be all GW parts? I'm assuming no, but its worth asking again.
Are you sure it can't be bigger? Pretty please? ...Nevermind, I'll just build it anyway and enter something else.

no, no and i'll concede to the last one (especially since now that i think about it mine will probably be a squeeze on a chariot base :D)
you are of course welcome to share any other designs you have but please choose one to submit for judging (a poll will be opened after the six month period, as well as a new topic started to post pics of your creations)

I'm in, definitely. Does it have to be Clan Skryre? or can it just be Skaven-esque? :huh:

Count me in for an entry. I've had just the idea in mind for a while now. 6 months will be plenty for me. Just a couple questions.

Are we aloud to post pics 'in progress' before the contraption is done? (Like in painting vows thread) Or do we wait till it's done and painted?

How big is a chariot base, 40x60?
