Looking good CS.
I think some further clarification regarding the artwork category may be needed. Trouble is that the possibilities in various computer programs are virtually limitless. The rules say "no photoshopping" but I think this needs to be explained further:
1: Are you allowed to use photographs of miniatures, environments etc. in some form? (ie. can you add a sky as a dramatic backdrop for your painting). Advanced 3d programs can generate stuff that'd look virtually indestinguishable from photos so it'd be difficult to judge this...
2: Various filters and techniques would mean that you could make images that look like "real artwork" but are still basically photoshopped photos.
3: Collages: One of many art styles. Being composite in nature this could violate the "one image only" rule.
Personally I love graphic styles such as pencil sketches placed in colage environments made from photographs. Not sure how that'd work in a 40k related universe but it is more the principle of the matter I'm curious about here.
4: Animations: Admittedly not very likely, but what if someone want's to do a small animation. Though it'd have to be a very short one it is technically possible to make a very small animation at 75 kb.
I think most people will know what kind of artwork you have in mind for this category, but unfortunately the sheer volume of media options available makes this a somewhat tricky category to define. I don't know if it is practically possible to say "this graphic style is allowed, and this one is not".

Thanks for your comments.
Warmaster Nice - Your comments are valid. I have changed the original regulations to attempt to strengthen the art category. I dont think that we will ever define the idea exactly, so I have asked artists to contact me about any questions.
firestorm - I am afraid that only entries into the stated categoried are elligable for the conversion prize. I am sorry, but there will be no terrain or open categories this time around.
I will open up the submission threads shortly.

I have made advertising posts at the DRM forum, as well as SG and Warseer. Anyone on other, relevant boards, please pass the word.
Thanks.
