Contest: Forged Hope

Hey everyone!
                                                                                                           Deutsches Regelwerk!


Time for another big contest in the Jungle!
But this time we are not alone, we are sponsored and supported be Heroes & Villains Miniatures to bring you this unique painting contest.


The contest is over and we are showing all the entries round by round.
You can find the other rounds here:
Round 1
Round 2

Round 3
Round 4 

And the first batch of the Random Prize Pool Lottery was given away:
Part 1

You will find these posted galleries of the entries linked up to the event section - click here!

Maybe, let's not start with a wall of text, but with a small comic strip I've done to get you in the mood...

Your job is to forge and build more robots!

They can be all kind of robots:
Trash-Collector 2000, Crop-Harvest-o-Mat MK4, Autonomous Elder-Over-The-Street-Helper 2X4, Town-Guard-Bot III ... options are endless!

Just imagine this town and its needs and you will quickly find ideas for new robots.

Luckily the "First One" just brought in a new batch of robot parts:
Pick them up here!
And don't forget to use the secret coupon code "3086" to get some extra 10% discount!
This discount is only valid for 1 month!

When your bot is done, please put him up in the e-Brain activation line to soon be helping townsfolk!
And do you know what's best about being a part in the Forged Hope program?
If your bot makes it to line assembly you will win a robot for your home! How nice is that?!

Here are the prizes:

First prize:
You have the chance to win this one-of-a-kind, converted and painted version of the RK1-Outworld done by Roman "Jarhead" Lappat.

Second prize:
For the second prize, you can win the original promotional paintjob version painted by Alex "Iguazzu" Varela.

Third prize:
And the third prize is this robot. Painted and converted by Raffaele "Picster" Picca.


There is also a random prize pool lottery every participant takes part in by entering the contest.
Check this link to see the random prize pool!


Ok, now for some real rules:
- Create and paint a robot using the RK1 Outworld kit from Heroes and Villains Miniatures.
- You may add additional parts to your liking, sculpt or convert, but it must base on the RK1 kit.
- Contest is ending on 15-August-2014, 16 GMT.

  15. The comic is awesome. I'd like to enter, but first I need to convince myself that 15 euro for shipping a 20 euro kit is ok. Stupid living a long way from everywhere.

    ReplyDelete

  17. Well H&V has more awesome minis so if you think shipping is expensive for just 'one' miniature, buy more minis with it ;) Like I did. Hello Random Encounter! :D

    ReplyDelete

  19. I'm flashed, what a great idea! Since I read this many tiny robots dancing thru my brain. Now I have to get hold on the set.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Are only parts from the kit allowed? Or can I make an Awesome-O-Stomp-3000 out of Orc Stompa parts mixed with the kit parts? :D

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow, such a good response! I hope to receive a lot of cool entries, the first one already arrived! :-)

  24. Too bad its €10 to ship from Spain to the Netherlands... Kinda insane actually... The models look good and its good that one kit allows you to make 2 models, and 3 if you do a little bit of extra work yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @Koen
    Maybe you can find some friends too, like Andreas did ... that would make the shipping costs less "gnarg" ...

  26. Today I'm sad!
    I placed an order for the robot the 16th of april. 12 days after I always wait. If it's like my last experience with Knight Models, I will receive the figurine after the dead line...

    ReplyDelete
  31. I still have not received my robot parts yet :( forge father is not happy with the delay in production. The human population is suffering due to the lack of support. Parts ordered and monies charged April 17th. Hopefully aid will arrive before this colony suffers great losses. Good luck to the rest of you!

  35. Hi, I just wanted to get clarification on the competition criteria.

    Are contestants each to submit just 1 photo of their finished entry?
    Or are they allowed to send several images, or a photo-collage showing different areas?

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Stygianheart
    Rules saying: "Send photos of your finished robot creation via mail ..." so more than one photo please or a collage as you prefer.
