Just a friendly reminder, entries are due this Today! by midnight Eastern Time.
Don’t wait, get cracking now you still have like 12 hours, lol!
What’s it all about you ask? Well were doing a contest to get YOU! motivated to convert up a tank and enter it for a chance to win a Baneblade Super-Heavy Tank!
But you’re not making just any tank my friends you get to convert up a SUPER BATTLE TANK.
You get to convert up the most ridiculous tank using the old Vehicle Design Rules (VDR). Yep that’s right remember all that Gatling Long barreled Mega weapon ridiculousness from back in the day? Time have some fun again!
To get an idea of what to make, you can use Army Builder (or there is an online java VDR Builder) to compute the points for your Super Battle Tank.
There is however one minor catch. To enter you must be a follower of the blog, and submit your entry picture and stats to us by November 26th 2011. Please no painted model pics, unless accompanied by WIP shots and final pic before paint.
We’ll feature all the tanks shortly after that, and I’ll pick my favorites and put them up for voting.
The winner will get a shiny new Baneblade Super Heavy Tank (new on sprue) for their efforts! Runners up will get some store credit to SpikeyBits.com as well!
Remember this is a conversion contest, so you get extra consideration for creativity and uniqueness. Painting while nice is not a factor.
So what are you waiting for? Start the brainstorming Tank Commander! -MBG

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
