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 Raven Torrid, the winner of the June/July competition, is “Die by the Sword”!
The Kastelai are an obvious fit, but so are...undead Empire Greatswords? Ghastly Bretonnians? Maybe even a duel diorama! Think relentless warriors, knightly orders and martial prowess.
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:
The Schedule:
Week 1, Monday: Theme announcement and entry thread created.
Week 6, Monday: Entry thread closed. Voting thread opened.
Week 8, Sunday: Voting thread closed. Result announced. Winner asked about next theme.
This thread is now open for people to post their entries. Please state a name of the entry along with the pictures. The thread closes on the 29th of August 2022 at (roughly) 23:59 CET (but we are not in a hurry, we can easily extend it if someone needs to finish their entry). You can also comment and discuss in this thread, it is not restricted exclusively for entries.

But it kinda gives a Final Fantasy/anime vibe, that I'm not displeased with. Biggest regret is not having time to paint it better. Maybe I'll go back and upgrade it later (he said for the umpteenth time).
