(Cross-posting this in a couple of forums)

Greetings all!

This is a post to announce an "open call" for art for the upcoming "Black Crusade" supplement.

Following in the mighty footsteps of Moscovian and his "Raiders" project, this is an attempt to put together a cool book detailing some of the forces that battled in the recent 13th Black Crusade: Black Legion, Lost and the Damned, Cadian Imperial Guard, and Ulthw? Eldar!

I'm looking to collect pieces anyone is willing to produce in full page, half-page, or half-column sizes.

Let me know if you're interested!

(Additionally, there will be an open call for photos, so this is more for drawings, paintings, digital art stuff.)

Good idea.  Another supplement!

Maybe you should contact Mechmaster.co.uk if you can use some of his work (if usable).

I can pretty much say that yes I will be doing this!  :cool:

This could very well be the inspiration that I've been looking for...  :agree:

Do you reckon you might run the same kind of scheme/competition as Moscovian relating to the cover art?  :whistle:

That's a very distinct possibility! I'll talk to Mosc about how he ran it.

Also, I'll be doing a Tyranid focused supplement after the Black Crusade...

I stayed out of the Raiders competition due mainly to voting on who won, that and I was too sick to put out much. But I will not be side-lined when there's demons about!

Original Kashnarak concept:


Second Tormentor concept

Wow, great start on the art. Lets hope we can get the photos of the models up to the same standard.

Erik McGrath = Scarik.  As one of the original people in the Raiders design team he voted on the initial round of artwork to give us our top ten in the artwork competition.

Edited for stupidity :shutup:

That's a very distinct possibility! I'll talk to Mosc about how he ran it.

I ran the artwork competition as follows:

I posted on several different forums about the artwork, referred them to a single thread here on Tactical Command (so people didn't think there were multiple competitions), and threw out some ideas as to what we were looking for. See this thread.

It still wasn't enough artwork coming in, however, so I started reaching out to artists on the web and personally emailing each one of them.  I probably sent out over a hundred individualized emails and PMs to various folks.  Some art was made for the book, other pieces were already done up and appropriate for the book.

Once the artwork came in, we were supposed to judge it and post the winner.  My comrades were being difficult, however, and refused to score some pieces or simply didn't respond. :mad: So I took the top 10 cumulative scores that I had and put them out here for a vote.

Winners were then announced.

Ultimately, I received a lot of pieces but they came in after the competition was over.  I don't think you will have the shortage of artwork that we did though.  We were dealing with an original storyline and two races that had unit types most 40K artists were unfamiliar with.  Black Crusades is a topic well covered in books and games and as such has inspired many people already.  

You'll need some prizes, so if you were to run a competition I'd start looking through that ample stash of goodies at home and see what you can part ways with.  Copies of the printed book themselves is a good one to have.  It adds up with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prize winners though.  The copies of Raiders alone cost me over a hundred dollars (books + shipping), 1 phalanx of Necron Warriors (worth about $20-25), plus a Warbarque and Corey's Pylon.  Fortunately Juddski forfeited his models otherwise it would have been worse!

Here's some concept art that I've been working on for this project. I've been trying to get my head around Space Marine and Eldar proportions.
Also, I've managed to come up with what I think is a pretty cool CSM Decimator concept...

LOTS of pics...
