[*]They have to be related to the hobby (painting, modeling, scenery etc)

Does that mean it can't be about playing the game? Like strategy or tactics? I'm unclear as to what "the hobby" means.

Thanks

 

The hobby is a large thing with several aspects to it. Tacticae are definitely part of the hobby and were allowed based on what I got from talking to BH last night.

Might have to try and enter something... doubt I will.

 

You'd never get it finished

If just the three of us submit something, we'll all win prize money

 

Good theory there, now to eliminate the rest of the competition....

 

does this include writing fluff stories? I am at the moment writing a novelette for poops and giggles and would love the thought of making american money from it!!

 

bah! My hobby skills aren't up to much just yet, I just write photoshop tutorials

 

On a sidenote, its not guaranteed to win if you are the author of the only tutorial submitted.

Read again The article needs to atleast be of a decent quality im sure.

And Blackhat, would it be possible to exchange the cash prize for the equivalent in membership?

(Oh, and i cant edit this thread, check up 2 posts for a quick edit needed.)

 

Umm it says tutorial contest... are articles welcome as well cause I had a nifty idea for one, also whats the release schedule for the magazine? Monthly? Bimonthly?.

Thanks.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Blackhat's looking at frontpage content. It updates as new content becomes available from members and contributors.

 

I'm considering doing a massive article on orcs and goblins - In fact it'd be a main page article with links to sub-pages in it, including:

What the boxed sets have in it, are they worth it? (Including skull pass) and hints and tips on expanding.
Modelling (and do's and dont's - e.g. make your orcs so they fit together)
Painting - A ten easy steps painting guide for finishing your hordes quickly (I did a IG one (amongst others) that went down well)
Units and how to use them (Including rules clarifications with page references)
Army composition - (How to make an army that works well together)
Magical Items - What's good and what's not (for different tactics)

- Obviously some of it's going to be similar to other stuff on the boards / everywhere, but I'll be collating it and explaining it comprehensively.

Edit: and I've reached the final production stages of a WFB campaign I'm going to run - I could do that instead. (Including revised Rules, and how to paint Mighty Empires Map Hex's)

Now, to reclaim the camera from wifey.

 

After all the tutorials Ive posted in the scenery section, now you decided to do a contest. LOL Alright then it is on, as to what I shall cover Im not sure yet.

 

Can I cover something that was once posted elsewhere?

Notably:
The best of old GW articles (Edited and Updated for 5th / bits available with alternatives etc), now removed from their website, never to return.

 

Sure you can, but dont make a 100% copy out of it

length-wise...is 1000 words the maximum? i rarely get round to things like this but I'd like to try

1000 is minimum, not max

well i took a notion to writing something yesterday and am currently on 2500 words and showing no signs of stopping yet, which brings me to my next question....how much is too much?

i know i know, how long is a piece of string but i know i'll get carried away and write a novel or something if im not careful

 

Well, there's something to be said for economy of words. Think about how long most people will want to spend reading an article. Most aren't going to take time for something exceedingly lengthy. 2500 words strikes me as a bit much.

 

2500 words will probably bore a lot of people. Sounds like a mini novel...

I may enter something depending on time and if I can afford to buy materials I need. Also are we allowed to post these in the appropriate forum on the site as well?

 

How many tutorials can be entered by the one member?

Im speculating NNM, Zenith lighting, Juicing or weathering

-DTG

 

As it is a contest, I'd say try a single one.

 

How about this?

This is a multi-part tutorial.

*runs off in glee to David's tutorial* Just want I wanted to!

 

"must pertain to the hobby"

Damn, I guess furniture arrangement is out...

Haha, I hope I can finish mine up soon enough, but I have to worry about finals and stuff. Ick.

My videos were published first on you tube, so I don't think they're eligible, guys. Someone needs to step up and put one together.

 

Think I have an idea to do with Tamiya Clear Red and Smoke. I'll start writing tommorrow.

 

Where do people post send their tutorials to?

 

Entry sent into your email now.

 

Thanks, but all the pictures seems like dead links to me
