Hey I wasn't able to post my model to for the contest on the Facebook page because I'd been a member of it for less than 3 days. Is there anyway I can get my model submitted?

Vaughn Reynolds

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Zak

Does Mensiririon count?

ArchvillainGames

Hey Zak, Mensirrion is not part of the Frostburn Horrors! Looking forward to your work on any of the models of the release!

Zak

A guy can hope. Time to get printing.

Peter Holgate

I suppose I had better brush off the old paint set then!

Scott Snyder

Is it only for a single mini? or can a diorama with multiple minis be a submission?

Cassidy Weiland

For the monthly hashtag for the print is it just the name of the model we chose?

Daniel Shear

does the colaberation model from this month work or does it have to be from the main release

ArchvillainGames

Hey Daniel. Jormugandr is not a part of the Frostburn Horror release so not eligible for the contest!

Daniel Shear

Oh well didn't have a chance anyway with the competition this month is drawing in.

Vaughn allen

Does that mean goober yeti is not eligible either?

慶元 曾

Excuse me, if I post 2 entry "Bear Vanguard" but in different pose and scale. Is it follow the rule "-One entry per patron allowed.-Print size must be no more than 100%." ? Or i need to paint different character for each entry?

Normand Chartier-Prévost

Man I really want to participate but I'm short on resin and on skills :c

ArchvillainGames

Hey Jamie! Yes you can have furniture in your dioramas as long as the base size doesn't exceed 100mm.

SamSam79

Why can't we scale up Resin prints ??? I like painting 75mm scale and not all model are supplied this way

ArchvillainGames

Hey Sam. We need to compare skills on the same size of a model, scaling things up would hinder that. Everyone likes different things, its understandable that we cannot please everyone, however we need to set a standard for entries.

SamSam79

Hey - thanks for the reply... I understand :) I'm just sad I won't be able to participate this month, cause I had one of the mini from Circus Grotesque but scaled up.

Gzus iza Juggalo

This sounds like a lot of fun! The stuff you all put out this month is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not even close to a professional, but I certainly can't wait to enter! Could my son also enter a painted miniature? Although he is 13 he isn't on social media at all. If we both can't submit one, could I include a picture of his painted mini with my entry just so he can put it online with the rest of the pictures?

Gerald Glad

im printing the wheel, can I use that or is it too big?

Avidity

😭 aww, I wanted to kitbash a hero from, say, the sinister vault being transformed into a plague rat, because there are not any heros in this months release.

Frost

Hello! For the dioramas does it have to be 100mm base aswell? Also, can we modify the models slightly (by hand after printing)?

ArchvillainGames

Greetings. You are commenting on a post from March. For any assistance feel free to message us, comments are not tracked.

Adam Lakhani

Do you contact the winners personally and not publicly?

ArchvillainGames

Hey Adam, We announce our winners publicly here with a Patreon Post and then they contact us here. If you are contacted by a suspicious site ( @archvillaingames ) please do not respond it is a scam!

Cody Fincher

when it says custom bases are allowed does that mean we can interchange any base to set the entered model on?
