60mm Challenge, by Bit Kingdom

+++++ INCOMING +++++

Bit Kingdom's 60mm Challenge!!

The new competition to keep all you conversion, scratch building and gaming addicts active this Fall is this – the 60mm Challenge!.

The folks over at Bit Kingdom and us here at Work In Progress, have a small challenge for you. Simply put, if it belongs on a 60mm base, or less, then convert it paint it and take a picture of it and e-mail THE IMAGE to the contest guy (who moronically worded this at first)! yes it's that simple. Why is it that simple? Simply because Bit Kingdom wants a lot of entries for their prize.

Bit Kingdom will be giving the winner of this contest a free battalion or battleforce! Why would you not try to win that!

We will accept conversions, scratchbuilds or straight-out-of-the-box builds in any scale (on a base that's 60MM or less). Any race/army accepted and encouraged, and any rules system! If you need some parts, ask Nate over at Bit Kingdom, they are sponsoring this contest after all!

1) All entries are due by 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8) on the 11/13/09 (November 13th, 2009).

2) All entries must be submitted are to consist of ONE 700x700 pixel max photo (you may make it a collage, you may also send more, but only one will be posted). Any entries not fitting that criteria will NOT be entered (if there is time left you may fix and resend it)

3) All entries will be submitted to "The Contest Guy" (the Contest Guy will be Brother Weasel, and Brother Weasel only on this one!)

4) All judges ruling is final.

5) Voting will begin shortly after the 13th, and will last for approx 2 weeks

+++++ END TRANSMISSION +++++

Excuse me while I collapse to the ground, start to hyperventilate and begin to giggle like a manic Homer Simpson.

While I'm down here could someone please be kind enough to get me a sketchpad and a pencil, I have a few ideas!

YES!

May I just add my favorite for letter word that starts with an 'F' and isn't 'free'?!?!?

i would advise against it.

Simply put, if it belongs on a 60mm base, or less, then convert it paint it and mail it to the contest guy! yes it's that simple.

I'm guessing that was just poorly worded? Otherwise I'm gonna try to model up something rude and fit it on a base and mail it too you with haste.

Ih tink ih will take part of the callenge

hmm, 60 mm... that calls for dioramas!

I hope I have time...

Beork

Rules edited to indicate that WIP does not actually want the actual entries, just a digital representation thereof.

...awesome...

hmm, I was thinking diorama, but am I allowed or doess it have to be a game legal beasty?

Beork

Errrr Boerk....I think it can be anything as long as it can fit on a 60mm base. Diorama, single mini, small vehicle, the only thing that should matter is that it fits on a 60mm base.

now to finish my project for the procrastination chalange. as long as i don't lose my internet conection or camera again.

Sooooo....you can make anything if you aren't on your computer? if your internet connection goes, wouldn't that allow you more time to work on your entry for the competition? Or do I live in crazy world?

It just has to belone on a 60mm or less base...

IE i dont' want someone to put on baneblade on a 60 and call it good...

(unless it's an epic blade i suppose)

use some common sence, if you question it's legality to hard, it's probably not legal...

I could see a couple of smaller minis on a 60mm base, but i'd say ghazkull vs a dread would be too tight...

if you really want to know, send me your idea in a pm and i'll make a desision:)

Ok thanks. When I first read it I thought it was some sort of late april fools joke

there goes my hopes of free minis.

Awwww, we could have sent you loads of guard stuff.....in fact lets do that!

my orks need somethign to loot from (not that i dont' have 3 demolishers on sprue on my drawer... free and never used, anyone want to trade me soem SM stuff? get back on topic of winning Bit Kingdoms stuff

so can we have it on a 50mm base (GW large) as that would make it alot easier for me if i can

no i just can't send in a pic if i don't have my internet conection.

Its great to see another contest so soon.
Only problem is I gotta finish pretty sharpish considering I leave home in 1 and a half weeks.


May I suggest a little more advertising of Bit Kingdom though considering they're being kind enough to provide prizes? I don't mean anything overboard, its just at present I don't think that theres even a link. (And no I don't have anything to do with their company by the way!)

And one final thing, what if one of our many talented European/rest of the world ex. US) members was to win (I'm pretty sure Klaus (see last comp) isn't from the US for instance )? Can stuff be shipped internationally?

WE actualy have a link at the botom of WIP... He will ship international, the last time he did this the winner was in russia... And yea i'll add a link up top some time when im in front of a computer.

60mm or smaller, means 50mm is fine

Yay, off to try and win the contest

Does it have to be 40k or can us fantasy players enter too?

IGNORE THIS: just read the opening post a bit closer and found my answer

Sorry all!

I apologise for ever doubting your preprepparedness

*chuckle*
Unfortunately I'll have a hard time fitting the ATHENA on a 60mm base...
but I'm tempted...
I could probably get her landing gear on a 60mm base...

Just kidding

Dammit! Klaus is entering the contest, lets all just bow out graciously then.

Go with an Epic Scale version of the Athena. Should just about fit on the 60mm base.

about the 'any rules system'...

any GW-related rules sytem or really any rules system? Because i'm scratchbuilding a Battlemech for the Clix System at the moment, which might perfectly fit into this scale. But Wizkids is really not GW-related.

You'll find a way.
