Golden Hat XXI
3 August 2014, 3:33 am
Welcome to the 21st Golden Hat competition! "Horns and tusks, unrest 'mongst the thralls! Watch out for slave rebellion and keep on loading that Hellcannon's soulfurnace with Goblins..." Subject Matter: Slavery and Artillery For this Golden Hat contest we want more artillery slaves! This could range from solitary slave crewmembers, such as Dreadquake Mortar slave Ogres; through Hobgoblin Bolt Throwers; to artillery crewed entirely by the lowliest of slaves. It is as such a theme with a relatively free scope for your creativity. Entries will consist of one or more artillery slave crew members. Optional composition considerations: Inclusion of the associated artillery-themed warmachine for the slave(s) is entirely optional in the entry photos. Furthermore, although the focus of the entry must be on the slave models, a maximum of one Chaos Dwarf model may also be included in the entry, if desired. Aside from slave crew for artillery warmachines there is no limitation on warmachines from a particular army list and entrants may take their queue from any source, including creating and painting crew for an artillery warmachine of their own design. If you are unsure if your entry will fit the subject matter, please contact Admiral and he'll sort it out with the rest of the staff. Basing is unrestricted and up to your discretion with the following exception: Display bases and plinths are not allowed, though diorama bases are allowed for entries featuring a warmachine. Specifics Subject: Artillery slave(s) The Due Date: 11:59 PM September 15th, 2014 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone) Please read the full rules that apply to the Golden Hat competition before submitting your entry. Submission All entries must be sent to the Golden Hat account no later than the due date. Entries will not be accepted after this. (Entrants have ~6 weeks to complete entries). If for some reason you are having trouble with your submission, contact one of the Staff. In order to avoid problems, entrants should not wait until the last minute to submit their entries. How to Enter Upload up to 4 photos of your entries to the Internet. Photos may not have additional text or items/models unrelated to your entry. Next, send a PM to Golden Hat (a special user that all Staff have access to) containing the links where the pictures can be found. (Note: This is the same as previous Golden Hats). If you win: - Walk across the backs of the cowed masses you have scorned and pushed aside, in order to take your place in the vaunted Golden Hat Hall of Fame. - Receive the Golden Hat medal for your online persona (As with previous Golden Hats; if there are more then 10 entrants the silver and bronze Golden Hat Medals will be awarded as well). - Everyone who enters gets a number of slaves equal to the number of entries. If 20 people enter we award 20 slaves to each person who entered. Entries will count towards a veteran medal. - Win a flayman! See below for details. Once all entries are received a thread will be created for voting and determining the winners! If there are any questions it is best post them here so that everyone can benefit from any details or clarifications that may arise. Prize The winner of the contest will have 1 unpainted flayed enemy of the Chaos Dwarfs converted by Admiral after the contest. It will be based on a 20x40 or 25x50 base, and posted on his expense to the winner's address. The base size of the "flayman" is the winner's choice, as is the enemy's race in question, though it may not be larger than an Orc, Gor or Saurus. Also be careful with your choice, since not every man-sized creature will make a good-looking "flayman"! The winner will be contacted about the prize via PM after Artisan's Contest XV is over. Should you wish to donate a prize to the contest, please PM Admiral about it and he'll sort it out with you and the Staff. Good luck everyone! The Staff
