Hello all. The entries for the first 40k community painting competition are in.

They are visible as comments in this thread, as well as being on my site here..

The strawpoll for voting is here.

I'll leave it up until the end of next sunday. Plenty of time to deliberate.

There will also be a moderator voting panel weighing in on mod choices. Both the community and mod choice will be announced together, shortly after voting is closed.

Thanks to everyone who entered, and everyone who votes.

I don't play any warhammer game, so I don't really know which ones the leaders are. I'm guessing captains, lieutenants, primarchs, named characters all work for space marines. But is a Neurotyrant a leader? What about a Neurothorpe? Is a chaplain a leader?

Actually, even better. Does the games-workshop website have a filter for leadership minis, or is there a list somewhere?

Neurotyrant would be too big, this is capped at models on 40mm bases max. I don't think there's an easy filter but you can look at your chosen faction's free index and look for models that are listed as leaders. Chaplains are leaders

Thanks for the info!

Chaplain

Sure.

Neurothrope

Sure. Synapse creature, which makes it thematically appropriate, and it’s an HQ choice which reenforced that role.

Neuotyrant

Comes on a 50mm base, which makes it too big for this competition. The goal of the guidelines was to have models of relatively comparable sizes. A modern Primarch model is similarly disqualified as it’s just too huge.

Filter

Not really, this is more of a theme that does require a little bit of good will and common sense as a guideline. The goal is that even a lowly sergeant model which comes packed in an infantry kit is acceptable.

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.
