Yeah, fantastic stuff, we should get quite a few entries if Fanatic link to us, and with all these prizes- perhaps a 'special thank-you mention' could be made to all the people who have donated stuff at the gallery for all the entries when it is up..? _________________ www.darkrealmminiatures.com

Which goes for anybody- all gratefully accepted.  There is some neat prizes in the wind, including something a little special and unique.  No details yet, but rest assured it is worthy of your best efforts to participate! Stormseer- we will indeed have a "Grateful Thanks" section on the front page to highlight who has dug deep to provide prizes. WRT The debate about a "Veterans" category, I can see both points of view and appreicate the offers made to step aside to make way for others to have a chance of winning a place.  Very noble indeed. I would rather not go to the trouble of having to police such a category however.  There are a lot of people who are resigned to not winning but will enter anyway for the fun of it (and who knows, we may have enough prizes for some "special mentions"!) If you feel strongly about it, how about a self imposed restriction to entering only in a single category?  This may be an easy answer.  Feel free to add pics for anything as usual however!

So if you have any burning issues about the rules and categories, speak now! A new forum thread has been established so further chats about the comp will go there.

Primarch, That was very nice of Jervis. Hopefully some prizes can be had to make the competition more interesting. Does this mean that Jervis has committed to providing prizes? Will this also mean that we will be a "quasi-sanctioned" event? I'm mostly asking because I wanted to enter some of the proxy figures that I have been building (I've been painting the new 6mm Scotia sci-fi IG companies), but if GW has much to do with it then I probably won't be allowed to do so. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

This competition is run by the members of this board, and is not controlled or sanctioned by GW in any way. I emailed Jervis to let him know about it (as did others here), and he replied enthusiastically and kindly offered a donation of prizes for the event. Personally, I would be happy to have non-GW minis in the event, as long as they conform in some way to the Epic categories listed and could be used in the game. If, as a result of this, GW pulls their support for the competition, then I would be rather keep the 'open nature' and rely on prizes donated by the community. However, I think that Jervis (and I have not checked or confirmed any of this) would be fine that Epic is being pushed, even if a variey of minis are used. For me, this is one of the reasons why I am determined to keep these boards independent. For me, this gives us the best of both worlds. Jervis is enthusiastic about the competition, and is willing to provide a few prizes and advertise in the Epic Vault (I don't know many other GW people who would be so open in this way!), and we are able to decide on procedures. I myself use minis from a huge variety of makers. _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

Cyber-Shadow, Personally, I would be happy to have non-GW minis in the event, as long as they conform in some way to the Epic categories listed and could be used in the game. If, as a result of this, GW pulls their support for the competition, then I would be rather keep the 'open nature' and rely on prizes donated by the community. I'm glad that you're the boss, Cyber-Shadow. I treasure the site's independence as well. The way I figure, the game is promoted whether we use GW lead or not. As long as we're playing the rules, those same rule sets sell and GW still comes out ahead. However, I think that Jervis (and I have not checked or confirmed any of this) would be fine that Epic is being pushed, even if a variey of minis are used. For me, this is one of the reasons why I am determined to keep these boards independent. For me, this gives us the best of both worlds. Jervis is enthusiastic about the competition, and is willing to provde a few prizes and advertise in the Epic Vault (I don't know many other GW people who would be so open in this way!), and we are able to decide on procedures.

While I haven't cared for a few of Jervis' decisions regarding E-A, I get to like him better and better for his open attitudes and easy-going ways. The differences are primarily artistic and I can live with those. He makes some great decisions regarding how to promote the game and I'm really learning to trust and respect him.

If only he had these ideas back when SM-2/TL was still around! (Of course, maybe he did!)

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
