Dorth waves a list of silly questions :oops:

Seeking clarification for everyone, folks.

1) Does this have to be a standard base, ie, 25mm, 40mm, 60mm, or one of the new WotR movement trays? Is the Mumak base allowable?

2) If the answer to the first question is negative, are there any size limitations (I know you are not looking for dioramas)

3) Does it have to be LotR or is it open to all kinds of game and scale of mini - WH40K, other sci-fi, Flames of War?

Great competition folks - may be best dwarf win... :rofl:

OK just some clearing up. It does not have to be LOTR related, and the bases are just standard bases.

Hope I answered your questions which were quite good. Since this is the first contest I am grateful for the input.

it says that there may be a figure on it, but can the figure also be incorporated in the base?

Do we get bonus points if we use the Spectre Hobbie Master Class Basing Kit, or does that just mean that the expectations for an entry are even higher? :wink:

Couple of questions...

Does the base require a theme when entered? (i.e. 'This is my sci-fi base', or 'This is my mountain base')

So when you say "just standard bases" are you referring to 25mm?

Standard bases 25mm 30mm and 40 mm but in some cases like the bike bases for 40k.

No theme your only limited by your imagination

Yes technically it is a standard base for a model.

Great idea..... But just to be perfectly clear....

Is a movement size WoTR base with 8 figs on it allowed? Hope so, I have one that I really would like to enter.....

Two more question :rofl:
-Can you only submit one base? If not, what is the limit?
-You said submit a photo... does this mean you only want one picture taken from any angle? Because I took several pics from different angles... do I have to pick the best?
