In order to give everyone ample time for travelling (to a bash of your choice, of course

) , you get till October to realise Steveb's request :

I was thinking along the lines of a themed free company 5 to 10 figures, using characters and/or ideas from mordheim and rpg warhammer. For instance the traveling judge with his bailiff and executioner and court clerk or two. or maybe the tax collector with list keeper, strong arm man/men and strongbox, traveling theatre group of USO entertainers, the local postmaster and his mailmen, the butcher/meat slicer and store clerks and customer, the local police chief and the deputies, I think you get the idea. The emperor has just called up all available forces as a stop gap to a sudden incursion and everyone, I mean everyone, has been conscripted to serve.

steveb

Good luck and inspiration to all !

Oh, and Steve, you aren't allowed to enter the competition, so don't send the 20 entries you realised in the mean time...

You need to sticky this.

Great choice of theme

I've got a few ideas already, probably too many.

And I've also already done some unique free companies. I guess I could modify them further and enter them

Sorely tempted by this.........
Hmmm, can I afford to splash out on a Militia box..................

Oxycutor · « **Reply #3 on:** June 30, 2009, 04:52:34 PM »

Free Company is the best value for number of models and money spent as far as Empire is concerned

After buying Flaggies, Greatswords and a guitar?

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #5 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:04:21 AM »

What was the guitar for?

I'd enter, but everyone else will do so much better than me.

(but no stealing my idea)

Merrick · « **Reply #6 on:** July 01, 2009, 02:53:51 PM »

Because I wanted a guitar?

Anyway, I am now determined to beat the Welshie.

A post on the frontpage of the site would be great ... I don't normally look at "stickied threads" and I think I am not alone there.

Soju · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2009, 11:46:50 PM »

Oo I'm so going to try and complete this contest. lol.

Hmmm to do a funny one or a serious one... that is the question...

Didn't you get the greatswords at a discount price?

I got them all for a discount price.

However, replace Greatswords with Cannon.

My bank account is not about £4.
I think that's about $8-9 to you yanks.

Maybe about $6. Damn recession.

Mine is at about £12.56 after buying a new car. But oh well.

Steveb's idea is absolutely excellent. I'll see what I can do... already have an idea!

Merrick · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2009, 02:57:28 AM »

I lied.

£100 went into my account the other day.

It's back on....

Captain Schweinkreiger · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:51:39 AM »

I think I will be throwing my hat into the ring as well, is this strictly converting, or is it painting as well? If it's painting, i am going to be SOL, after seeing some of the masterly painted pieces by some of you blokes.

ZeroTwentythree · « **Reply #15 on:** July 14, 2009, 12:38:38 PM »

Maybe I will try getting in on this one. I love the theme and I've got a bit of a strange idea or two already...

Silvero · « **Reply #16 on:** August 10, 2009, 02:57:00 AM »

Great conversion contest idea. Maybe I´ll try to do something.....

Q: Should they be painted or not?

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2009, 03:08:05 AM »

They don't HAVE to be.

Make sure to take a pic before painting though.

I'd love to make up the Postmen from Pratchett's 'Going Postal' but I have no money

Silvero · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2009, 02:37:56 PM »

Do I have to use bitz just from militia sprues or even some other bitz?

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2009, 03:46:36 PM »

anything

Delthos · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2009, 04:08:38 PM »

I think I'm gonna get in on this although nine of my models won't be conversions in the strict sense, although I think I can manage something to qualify them as conversions. The tenth one I can defenitely manage a conversion for. I can't say more without giving up what I'm doing. This is also considering all the stuff I'm ordering to do the unit come in on time.

scarletsquig · « **Reply #22 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:25:48 PM »

I'm converting some stuff up now.

Where do I post the entry when it's done?

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #23 on:** September 21, 2009, 02:00:26 AM »

Pm it to me.

Merrick · « **Reply #24 on:** September 26, 2009, 01:59:00 PM »
