]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 11:46:56 +0100 http://www.players.tacticalwargames.net/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=10&postId=305 ? 2009.

This is the fifth annual GothiComp?, and will be run in a somewhat similar way to last years event. The main change is the way entries are submitted.

The Goal
The general aim of this competition is simply to encourage players to get painting and show off what they can do. I encourage people to enter no matter how good or bad their painting and converting skills are.

The Deadline
This competition will open may 1, 2009, and the deadline for submissions is Thursday 31st July 2009, 4pm (UK time).

The Categories
The Single Ship/Squadron entry
Each separate entry should consist of a single miniature to be used for Battlefleet Gothic (however, note that conversions, scratch builds and even vessels from outside manufacturers are welcome). The only exception to this is:

- If the vessel is a light cruiser or equivalent, one or two vessels may be submitted as a single entry in the same photograph. Space Marine Strike Cruisers can be treated as light cruisers.

- If the vessel is an escort or equivalent, then the submission must consist of between two and four vessels in a single picture.

Aside from this stipulation, the entry is largely down to the participant.

The community will vote on the entries as usual.

In addition, there will be a 'conversion prize'. This will be a token prize for one entry based on the skill and style of any conversion work which has gone into the vessel, in an effort to encourage creativity in modelling as well as painting. This will be judged by a select panel. All entries are automatically submitted into both competitions simultaneously. The judges for the conversion prize are myself, Warmaster Nice and Cybershadow.

iThe fleet category/i
This year we introduce a new category: the fleet. For this participants submit a single picture of a fleet worth between 1000 and 1500 points in game terms. The fleet must follow the standard fleet restrictions. Fleet lists published in Warp Rift are also allowed. If you have a fleet based on a non-published list it is adviced to contact me about it.

The Prizes
tba

The Pictures
You should submit a single picture per entry, no more. Each photograph should be no more than 3 megabytes large. They may be of any pixel size as long as the file size is not exceeded.

The Submission
To submit a picture of your vessel to this competition, you simply mail it at: EMAIL=comps@tacticalwargames.netcomps@tacticalwargames.net/EMAIL

Make sure the header of the email contains the following: ship name / class name

Note that you do not have to be a member of the [url=http://www.tacticalwargames.net]www.tacticalwargames.net[/url] boards to enter this competition but in order to vote you will have to sign up.

We will compile a gallery of the entrants which will be available online. This gallery will remain as a permanent fixture to the site, and so you will be able to browse the pictures in the future. Please note, I am sure that there will be a rush in the last 24 hours before the end of this competition, therefore please don't wait until the last few hours if you can avoid it.

The Voting
Voting will take place here on these boards. Entries will be split into heats of up to ten entries each (this depends on the number of entries). The winner of each heat will go through to the next round until a winner is determined. Please note that entries will be placed into heats in the order in which they are submitted here.

Note that this year only the ship and/or class name will be shown, not who submitted it.

Additional Rules
All decisions are final, any prizes are non-negotiable and the competition organizers reserve the right to remove competition entries or request that they are resubmitted or altered. We will hopefully never need this stuff, but just in case...

That is it. Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have. Now, what are you doing still reading this? Get painting!

Have fun!

Although the problems with the Tactical Command forums continue, the latest issue of Warp Rift has been made available.
Issue 23 contains a variety of new material focussing on the Limante sector. This includes background, famous ships of the sector, fleet list, new rules and a scenario. In addition, the BFG High Admiralty has been persuaded to look at a few recent questions that clarify a few points that have been raised in a number of places. Meanwhile, the Showcase section looks at some fine examples of Tau engineering, and warms up the main thrusters in preparation for this years GothiComp? - which I believe is the worlds premier BFG painting competition. The issue is wrapped up with another fiction piece and a illustration of the scale of some of the vessels which make up the fleets of the Imperium. Download this latest issue in the Warp Rift section of the site, check it out, and feel free to let us know what you think.

In the time Warp Rift 21 has gone online and now Warp Rift 22 has been released as well. What have I done to my blog?

Well, sometimes I wonder: do people read it? Do people even read my editorial ramblings in Warp Rift? So, hit me a mail with the words:
'Yes I read.' and I'll be happy....


So what does Warp Rift need? A couple of things are running a little dry:

• Scenarios
• Cool fleet lists (fluffiness, new alien races, etc)
• General articles
• Tactica

Now you know what we need!

cheers!

Warp Rift 20 has gone online last month per usual. And your feedback has been appreciated as always.

Warp Rift 21 is in the 'structure' phase, aka : what articles do I have and what articles am I gonna use. This issue could be the first one to go online to late since I have multiple cool articles coming in around 15th november. But now worries since I'll try my best to get it in before the end of november!

Ceeya!

Warp Rift 20 will feauture the submissions we received for the scenario competition.

Within the coming weeks there I will upload a pdf with fixes in the Anargo Sector Project article from Warp Rift 18.

And now the most important message:

I really want to put forward a big thanks to the forum member known as Vaaish. He mailed me a very extensive pdf with his ideas on improving Warp Rift and its layout. In Warp Rift 19 I certainly made use of some of his ideas, he'll be the one to notice them easiest.
Thanks!

In addition to the Eldar MMS rules from Warp Rift 10 (upgraded to version 1.8 since then) there are now also house rules available for Dark Eldar at the following page:
