Entry Thread: Turning the World to Darkness: "Conflicted"

  • The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Welcome to the next instance of Turning the World to Darkness competition!

In the Turning the World to Darkness we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of undead!

The theme of this competition, as chosen by The Sun King, the winner of the September/October 2024 competition, is "Conflicted"! ⚔️

The Counts of the night fight an eternal struggle with their inner beasts! The ravening hordes clash against all who oppose!
You are also encouraged to use models or parts from whatever army you feel like, not restricted to undead only. It could be a single model or a whole unit of them, of all scales and sizes.

Original models (sculpts) and conversions are allowed.

The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the Hall of Infamy thread and a forum medal once they are available. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge (note that the winner only has a weekend to present the decision, so please be prepared and available).

The Rules:
  • All models entered should not have been painted more than a year ago from the date the entry thread is closed. This will not be enforced but violators will politely be asked to retract their entry.
  • All miniatures presented must have been painted by the entrant.
  • Max one entry per person.
  • Max 3 images per entry (including pictures in collages), of reasonable size.
  • No voting for your own entry.
  • No model can be entered into several challenges.
  • Open entries and open voting. Everyone can see who painted what.
  • Models can be of any manufacturer and conversion but must fulfill all the criteria of the given theme.
  • If no decision on the next theme is made within a week of the winner announcement, the decision falls to the competition organizer.

The Schedule:

Week 1, Monday: Theme announcement and entry thread created
Week 6, Sunday: Entry thread closed. Voting thread opened.

M0iM0i The idea is intentionally abstract and vague so that each person can have a creative approach. It can be everything from a vampiric thrall with an inner conflict between the beast and the human to a large scale conflict between two armies. It is entirely up to you to make the interpretation :)
 
Hey guys,
Here is my entry, took longer then i was hoping. But i hope you guys like the result.

This is amazing, exactly what these competitions are about M0iM0i! 😁

As the holiday time is usually quieter with the entries, I will leave the entry thread open until January 19th (or if anyone wishes to enter and needs longer, let me know), maybe we get some more. 🙂

The downtime hit just after I posted the extension for this one. Will leave it open until September 21st if anyone still wants to enter. 🙂
I don't think I have the time or headspace for hobby this month, so I have to sit this round out. I'll scrape off the rust by October, though.

annnd... here i am!

SETTRA

well, Settra does not suffer from inner conflict at all, we all know He Rules.
it was me, the one who was "conflicted", as per the theme.
We all know the classic, iconic image of Settra, trampling across the battlefield with the Chariot of the Gods carried by the skeleton horses.


And i love classic, iconic models

BUT i also love modified, unique models, a creations that tells everyone "THIS is MY model"
and wouldn't it be cool to have the Chariot drawn by something else? something regal? like, who knows, animated statues?

Hence the conflict.
Classic, or unique?
proper GW model, or 3D print?

a decision was made.


Kneel before the might of Settra!

Great entry Unas the slayer! Like your explanation of being conflict and your change of steeds is very different, what models are they?

those are 3d printed models which i've downloaded some time ago (If you're interested i can go back in time and tell you where i found the files)
the initial plan (which is a wip) was to have a larger version of those, paint them marble-like and use them as scenery for my games in Nehekhara.
