- Any Warhammer 40 Fast Attack Choice, with the Unit Type "Infantry" only.

Does that include subsets of the infantry class such as jump infantry? Or is the point of an infantry comp only to include footsloggers? For example I'd classify Swooping Hawks as light infantry (already entered mine in a previous comp so not revealing anything there) but maybe they'd fit better into a Fast Attack comp.

[sarcastic answer]Whats that last word that you quoted [/sacasm]

I deliberately specified Infantry Only. No subsets like Jump allowed, though obviously I can't disallow "Character" because Squads leaders are by default

Units like Swooping Hawks will be in their own Contest: "The Cavalry"

Please keep in mind, I'm trying to open up the contests,but still trying to have some sort of restriction/theme with them. In this instance Light Infantry are the more numerous and lightly armoured part of the army, such as Scouts or Fire Warriors, or Wood Elf Glade Guard.

Thread Bumping becuase currently no-one has shown interest.

I've tried revising the rules to what could hopefully be more open.

Well, today would have been the final day for Entries. More on that in a moment.

For final clarification in this Contest, models for the Heavy Inf contest are:
- Any Warhammer 40k Elites Choice or Heavy Support choice, with the Unit Type "Infantry" only. (Units that become Elites by special rule are allowed)
- Any unit with a 4+ or better Armour Save in Warhammer Fantasy

Models from other games systems will be decided upon me recieving them via PM _{(you do have the right to challenge the decision}). If your model/unit isn't entered into the Heavy Inf Contest, then it will be entered into Light Inf, unless the Entrant requests otherwise.

I am extending the deadline by seven (7) days, to allow people to make final alterations to models and/or unit selection, and to allow everyone to see the most recent decision for this contest.

Hope to see a full inbox for this. Can't wait to see what comes in

[edit]
Fixed some terrible wording. Hopefully this actually makes sense.

I'll be updating both this Contests OP, and the OP for the Light Inf Contest.

Looking at the statline for a Heavy Stubber, and a Heavy Bolter, the "Stubber" seems to be just a HB with less strenght, or force behind it, but the same armour penetration power.

"Stub Guns" by the rulebook are essentially Laspistols, same with Autopistols.

As these guys are essentially Guardsmen, i find it hard to believe they can carry Heavy Bolters on each man.

I'd be comfortable with the Stubber being four shots at Str4, but no ap. Possibly Assault rather than Heavy? Just my thoughts.

Update already

Decided there was a lot of lumpy GS on a couple guys, so I took  a hobby knife to them:


For the most part, they look a lot closer to how I want them, though closer to the base, the wire does get uncovered. Hopefully, when I find more time, I'll be able to include more detail.

In the mean time, I started another model, and its a lot larger than the previous lot:


Yep, thats my first attempt at a Spider Armature. I foresee the spiders giving me the most trouble The two front Claws are raised up on purpose, and it should hopefully becoe clear why when I get some GS on to the wire.

Critism and Suggestions would be most appreciated ^_^

XV25's were already exceptable

And yeah, I might as well keep to the FOC of 40k for these, with other games suitabley ported into the framework. I think its works best, as everybody is already familiar with the format.

If I get enough unique deadline extension requests, I will consider extending the deadline by seven (7) days. By my guess, this should be enough time.

I think you should do the terrain. Simply becase terrain can be rather confusing. 40k version 3 and 4 are great for vassal while 5 and 6 presents problems due to true line of sight.

Do you mean the "Observer" set-ups terrain? OR that players agree before the game starts what the characteristics of each piece of terrain is?

These might be useful to you.

I think I've seen a few clips of Jin-Roh. From what I remember, aren't the soldiers as large as Space Marines?
