Indeed. Very encouraging.

With this much competition I will have to reconsider my entry.

That's not what I meant. :) I mean a burnt out truck doesn't seem all that competitive an entry with these many talented builders.

Well I was thinking about some simple ruined buildings to go with my BSC2018 entry :-I
I guess that won't cut it either  lol

I’m in as well. Not sure if I have to post it here to make it official.

I am building something for Necromunda. And have a quick question. I have loads of the old plastic bulkheads. Am I allowed to use them in my build? I’ll try and keep them below the 25% limit but it is difficult to judge where that limit goes. But I really want to include them for that Necromunda aesthetic.

Up to 25%, no prob. Glad you are joining us!

The official enrollment is by starting a build thread as described in the rules.

Great I have one of those. I just wanted to make sure.

I assume repurposed styrofoam packaging, squirt guns, dead hoovers and printers does not go into the prefabricated category.

Whatever rubbish you find in the bin, yes, as long as each part used does not constitute more than a quarter of the total build. I really cannot be more precise. If you are unsure, message me the details and concerns.

Well, I could have been moderate and you could have asked me to consider the 25% rule.

I will let you base your contribition on a cast, if it can be considered no more than a quarter of the total build.



Great. Thank you for reconsidering. I hope what I build is worth it.

I have a question as well. The rules say: " You may enter up to three individual bases"
If I do more than one base, all of them have to contain some wreck or ruin, or it is enough if one has it, and the other two is only thematically tied to it. Eg.: I put a crash-landed spaceship into a pool of acidic goo, and make two other pools of the same goo is ok, or I should distribute the wreckage among the three bases (or just stick to one base)?

That’s alright as long as it is clear that there is some sort of themed center piece among the three

I think I'll join this as long as I can come up with an idea that's interesting enough to pursue.
