Post subject:  EpiComp 2013 Rules
It's nearly time for EpiComp 2013!

The rules for participating are below, if you have questions please post them here.

Dates

  • Entry Submission Begins - 0000 UT, September 1, 2013
  • Entry Submission Ends - 2359 UT, December 29, 2013
  • Voting - 0000 UT, January 5, 2014 (subject to change)
  • End of Voting - 2359 UT, January 12, 2014 (subject to change)

Categories

For the purposes of these categories Epic models include models from any edition of Epic or 40k universe 6mm conversions. EpiComp respects the IP and copyright of all manufacturers and reserves the right to exclude any entry we feel is unsuitable (PM me if you have questions on that bit).

  • Best Single Model - Any single 6mm Epic vehicle/flyer or stand of troops.
  • Best War Engine - Any single 6mm Epic war engine (Titan, super-heavy tank/flyer, etc.)
  • Best Battleforce - Three or more of the following:
    • Three or more 6mm Epic vehicles or stands of troops
    • One or more 6mm Epic war engines
  • Open - One of the following:
    • A diorama
    • A terrain piece
    • Any 6mm sci-fi vehicle/flyer, stand of troops, war engine or battleforce of models from Baccus 6mm, Ground Zero Games, Plasmablast Games or any other 6mm sci-fi manufacturer
  • Dark Realm Miniatures - Any 6mm sci-fi vehicle/flyer, stand of troops, war engine or battleforce of models from Dark Realm Miniatures.
  • Exodus Wars - Any 6mm sci-fi vehicle/flyer, stand of troops, war engine or battleforce of models from Exodus Wars.
  • Microworld Games - Any 6mm sci-fi vehicle/flyer, stand of troops, war engine or battleforce of models from Microworld Games.
  • Onslaught Miniatures - Any 6mm sci-fi vehicle/flyer, stand of troops, war engine or battleforce of models from Onslaught Miniatures.

Entering

You do not have to be a member of these boards to enter (you do to vote however). Just e-mail your entry to epicompetitions [at] gmail [dot] com.

Please include the following:

  • Your name, and TacComm member name if applicable
  • A 1024x768px image of your entry in .jpg format (don't put your name/TacComm member name on it!)
  • The title for the image
  • The category that you wish to enter the image in

Entries should be models that you've completed during the past year and not previously entered in an EpiComp competition. Entries already posted here or elsewhere on the internet can still be entered.

Because EpiComp tries to keep the entries as anonymous as possible please keep identifying information (eg your name/TacComm member name) out of the entry.

Voting

Voting will take place on these boards, so you'll have to be a member here in order to vote. I'll break down each category into heats and the winners of each heat will go onto the final for a second round of voting.

Voting is set (tentatively) to begin on December 23, 2013. It all depends on whether the galleries are up though so this date and the end of voting are both subject to change.

Prizes

The prizes for the categories will be announced as I get them. A big thank you to those who have already donated! If you're thinking about donating something please PM me! EpiComp relies on the community's support and the great manufacturers who make our models for prizes!

One prize will be awarded to the winner of each category. A conversion prize will also be awarded to the best conversion across all the categories. This will be decided on by CyberShadow, myself and someone else (so feel free to shower us with bribery, ass-kissing, and the like).

Any winner will be awarded a maximum of one prize. If an entrant wins two categories they'll be able to choose the prize from either category. The prize from the other category will be awarded to the second-place entry in that category.

  • Best Single Model - A model donated from Fibser
  • Best War Engine - 5 metal Warhound heads from Apoc
  • Best Battleforce - $100 of product from Inglewood Designs
  • Open - 1 Defence Line Set 3, 1 Damaged Defence Line Set 4, 1 Straight Pillbox Set, 1 Corner Pillbox Set and 1 Trench Set from +psypher+
  • Dark Realm Miniatures - £50 Dark Realm Miniatures gift certificate from Doug (plus a few extras that he can't say anything about right now)
  • Exodus Wars - A formation of Battle Squires, a Small Behemoth and a Royal Empire Infantry Platoon with bases from Tom
  • Microworld Games - $40 Microworld Games gift certificate from Steve
  • Onslaught Miniatures - Onslaught Miniatures army deal from Deacon
  • Best Conversion - A Charybdis Ordinatus courtesy of Todderman

Post subject:  Re: EpiComp 2013 Rules
one further clarification please, what about entering a mini in multiple categories? ie. can a titan entered in the war engine category be included as part of a battleforce?

Post subject:  Re: EpiComp 2013 Rules
No one seemed too bothered by it, so it can go in both. If you want a firm ruling say that one of the three can be models that were entered in other categories. I think a battleforce entry made up of three other entries is a bit against the spirit of the comp (ie, to paint).

Added a prize thanks to Todderman. I'm still looking for a few more if people are willing.

Are people painting yet?

Also, anyone willing to post links to this on the French and German forums? Any other forums out there that I'm missing? Got TMP, Warseer and Dakka.

+psypher+ has generously donated a huge lot of terrain as a prize.

We're still looking for three more prizes.

Another generous donation from Inglewood Designs! I'm still hunting for a Best Single and WE prize.

Also, only one entry so far. I know more of you are painting than that.

Yeah I'd love to enter but everything I own in my collection painted this year is verboten :(

Clarification question: Custom self made and only as personal use items are allowed (even if made in a 3d printer)?
