The leader of your army should be the best piece in your army, but furthermore should have character of its own. To showcase the model, and its character, there is this contest. This spring I decided to throw a rather large contest, with an interesting prize. Rules: - 1 painted Hero or Lord model (Conversions are allowed)
- The hero may be mounted on a horse sized mount (Horse sized base) or chariot. This means no dragons, stegadon, or wyvern. [Demons however may be used.]
- Up to 3 pictures of your model.
- 1500-2000 Word story about your character or history.
- Submissions may be pmed to myself (here or on Tauonline) between May 6th and midnight (GMT) of June 25.
- Voting will take place between June 26 and July 3rd.
- Winner will be announced on July.... oops. Maybe 3rd at midnight. If not, the night of July 5th.
So what is the prize? The 2009 Gamesday Chaos champion miniature!  Do you have to be a member of the Border Princes to join? Not necassarily. You do however have to be a member to vote. You also have to be a member to use this thread to discuss rules and such, and feel free to pm me either here or on Tauonline. |

Oooh, I've so got to take part in this, I love that model!
Just a general question here:
If I were to enter Archaon on horse, he has a 40x40 base, would that be legal?
Same for lord Kroak etc.

Oh yeah, Same goes for the Welf Stag Lord, Brettonian Damsel, etc.
No Dragons or Wyvern is pretty much the only thing I was trying to put out there.

I really really hope so. This seems like something Silk could be interested in, I may be able to get 'The Member' to join, and maybe even Grunt.

Could you be more specific? You should paint/ convert then paint a model to be a hero or lord in your army. You should also write between 1500 and 2000 about the character. It could be a history, it could be a story, for example it could be the story of a battle he lead, how he got to where he was, a heroic feat, anything of the sort. And don't worry Morglum, I do |

Why oh why did I mount my lord on a carnosaur? Ah well, I've got plenty of other characters I could paint up and write a background for. *flexes writin' n' paintin' muscles*

You can use a carnosuar as a mount for it. Or do you mean it would be a pain to paint? In that case... I can't help you And as an addition; you may use a preexisting character, IE the green knight or something. The thing is, you have to have your own story written up for it. |

Nope, so far my racism is only stegadons, wyverns, and dragons. They always seem to have more character than the lord themselves, and just seem a bit cheap in a contest when comparing them to someone on foot.
That being said, I was wondering about extending the contest, as the final date was decided a little hastily. If anyone does not like the current due date, please pm me.
