Rules

[steve]

Hey kids, here are some details to go with the Conversion Contest.

First: You must build (but not paint) a model of Chaptermaster Sequoia. You must also compile a stat sheet for all of his talents, abilites, and weapons to include a point total.

I have no intention of ever fielding him in a "real" game so feel free to go nuts on stuff. Think Marneus Calgar but much bigger, cheesier, and preposterous-er. This guy is in charge of the Pointy Sticks after all.

ALL ENTRIES (in picture and text form) to be e-mailed to me by 15 Dec 2006. Winner(s) will be announced on 21 Dec, in the regular Thursday update.

All rules subject to change. At the moment this will not be an open vote. Rather myself, and possibly one or two others, will weigh in and pick the most appropriate version.

So, GET TO MODELLIN'.

Questions?

[chaospooper]

what is Chaptermaster Sequoia?

[Pyro5050]

the chaptermaster of the pointy sticks....

Sequoia is his name....

[Deuteronomy]

Oooo, a challenge!!!

Count me in, Steve!

Is there a limit on photo size? Amount of text?
Can we post WIP, or do we all have to keep our models 'hush hush' until such time as you shall decree?

Deut:
Pic size no larger than 600 pixels across. Writeup should outline any special abilities, weapons, additions, familiars, powers etc. Fluff to go along with your entry is okay too, but if you do a killer model and the fluff states that he has relations with abnormal llamas it will hurt your chances.

Please no WIP models. Completed CM's only please. Please.

Hmm, so if I actually model a llama on his base as a familiar that would be alright then? Tempting....

Ok, oh Mighty Primarch of the EPS...I'm on it!

Does the model need to be playable in the game?

(dumb question, I know, but if it doesn't need to be playable...)

[steve]

IF the llama is modelled then you are good to go. Within reason, of COURSE. And no, the model need not be playable, although it will probably be fun to try...
So go nuts. NUTS i say!

*Ahem*

Will see what I can do, the bits box has recently been used up in some serious conversion, so i'll do what I usually do in that/every situation. Go ask Wraith..

[Tyranid Fodder]

I'll have to get a plastic terminator and extremely bulk it up with plasticard and pointy stick iconography.

Of course the biggest question is what kind of weapons should I arm him with?

[NightLord48]

a giant scythe... or a stick.

Okay, I have a cunning plan of creation...

[Cyborg_get]

THe rules for the "Movie SPace MArines " come to mind. Rediculous stats, and abilities, and IMO perfect for stats for him. I plan on making something for him, as I have a lot of time and even more bits.

[Dufflious]

Those are "Book Marines" dear fellow. =)

As a great Primarch once said... "Give me a hundred Space Marines. Or failing that, 1000 of any other troops."

[Cyborg_get]

Are the EPS, following their history, a vanilla chapter, or do they use traits when/if fielded out?
