If you decide to keep an "in-process" thread please reply to this thread as well with a link to your in process thread.

Round Details

Development: Starts March 21, 2012 - April 3, 2012

Contest Rules:

The goal of this contest is for players to create a special character for their army during the next two weeks (limit one character per army, per player). The character must have an original name, statline, point cost, no more than three special rules or pieces of wargear, and up to 120 words’ worth of fluff to describe him.

Players are encouraged to post “in-process” threads in the army subforums for comment and advice. Begin the thread title with “SCC” so others will know it’s a part of this competition.

To respect copyrights, players are encouraged to cite an established character’s statline and then list modifications. Example: Codex: SM Librarian, +2 WS, -2I.Lastly, please indicate whether your special character may be used by others for the Short Story Contest later on.

Voting:

By the end of the two weeks, a special thread will be posted in each army subforum for submissions. Judging will be by open polling over the next week.

Rewards:

Each valid entry will be rewarded with 15 rep points.
Each winner from each army sub-forum will win 50 reputation points plus the 15 reputation points awarded for competing.
The second place winners will receive an additional 15 rep points.
+25% votes for having the character modeled and painted, WYSIWYG. Need not be a GW model but must be unique.
+25% votes for allowing other contestants to use your character in the short story
= maximum total of 1.5x the number of votes received

[Deathula]

I'm in. My Necron army need a special someone in it I think.

[VB the small]

this I got to try! but what should I do...

[Mattas]

The three wargear/special rules is additional to the characters base i presume? For example if I base my character on a farseer that character already has the wargear that the basic farseer has?
Just want to make sure

[Bdoydie]

Aslo does the model have the basic rules ie does a space marine chapter master have orbital bombardment?

[Polaria]

Aslo does the model have the basic rules ie does a space marine chapter master have orbital bombardment?

This also hounds me... I'm doing a biker captain so does the Mounted Assault special rule that comes from having a bike count towards the three pieces or wargear/special rules or not?

[VB the small]

does Independent character count's as on of the three rules/wargears if I want to do a kroot special char?

[Polaria]

does Independent character count's as on of the three rules/wargears if I want to do a kroot special char?

I think it means 'special' rules and wargear. If army specific rules, USRs and normal wargear would count, then even a simple Blood Angel or Space Wolf Captain goes over the limit as they both have three army-specific rules and IC rule.

[Penniwhistle]

I assume we can make Fantasy characters as well? Thinking of making a Tzeentchian Hero-level character for Warriors of Chaos

[throkkenn]

Im most definatly in.
