So, we have the month of June to complete, right?
Yes, On July 1st anything not completed will be fined.
So just for clarity, does my scratch built trukk count as a large enough deal not to have to be painted? I intend to build 70% of it with plasticard and use whatever scrap and gubbinz I can find to make the rest. All the rest of my vow stands as is, I'm still gonna paint a big mek, 12 boyz and 2 trukks
As OD expressed previously, The only exception is mega large items, Think stompas, gargants, battlefortresses. Basically something that will consume all your time and your sanity.
For vehicles like trukks and buggies, they should be able to be konverted
and painted.
Keep in mind fellow orks,
this is called the Gitz it Done Event, not the Gitz it Started Event. This is to encourage people to finish those unfinished project(s) not to encourage them to start new ones.
If you have the skill and the time to start and finish a project in a month, then great, some can do it. Most cannot.
With the Scrapyard Build Off, basically we had people vowing all their unfinished projects and then getting credit for what they got done. This really wasn't fair to anyone and there was no incentive to finish ALL the projects that were vowed.
You know your skills and your schedules. If you know something is going to take all your time and you pledge that, plus this, and that, knowing that you can't complete the first project, How is that getting anything done?
Yes everyone likes seeing custom projects, but what people like more is seeing FINISHED custom projects. I plan on awarding teef moreso for konversions as I know how difficult they are. The more complex the konversion, the more teef.
I also know my painting limits and again, the amount painted will also be considered.
The only problem really is Large projects. I know that they are VERY time consuming so rather than penalize someone for doing say a Great Gargant. I would like to give them an incentive.
As far as painting goes, I painted a stompa, which was only primed, including his crew in a month with an extreme amount of detail to an above table top standard. I couldn't do anything else that month as far as projects went, but it got done in less than a month.
I spent the last year doing 1-2 FOC choices a month so I know what can be done. People pledging rediculous stuff will get penalized for it.
This is supposed to be a fun event, that isn't a competition, and is designed to help motivate people to Finish thier projects.
Does the number of teef earned (or lost) depend on the amount you painted/didn't paint?
ABSOLUTELY. If you pledge it, you best be ready to finish it, or else eat your words. Might be hard to do considering the loss of teeth you might be facing.
My suggestion to everyone, is to carefully select their projects. A project can be pledged at any time up til June 25th
On June 15th all pledges will be posted on the first post. Once they are up there that is it. Anything posted after June 15th will automatically go up there. Once a pledge is on that post, it CAN NOT be modified, changed, or canceled. ALL BETS WILL BE FINAL at that point. Depending on the success of this, there is a possibiltity for a similiar event in July.
