The Theme Rounds for Challenge XVI

Greetings Challengers!

As a departure from the map themes that we had for the last few years, we'll return to the old school monthly theme rounds of dim history.

The themes are:

1) Empire: Submit a new freshly painted figure and/or terrain piece illustrating the rise or fall of an empire. The empire can be one from history, myth or fiction.

2) Toy Story: Summit a new, freshly painted figure and/or piece of terrain that evokes a beloved toy (or set of similar toys) from your childhood.

3) Resistance: Submit a new, freshly painted figure and/or piece of terrain illustrating resistance by a group or individual.

The scheduling of each theme is as follows:

The submission deadline for submissions to the Empire theme is 11:59pm Saturday January 10th. Display of all entries will go up on the 11th, with online voting running the following week.  Results of the voting poll will be announced on Sunday January 18th.

The submission deadline for submissions to the Toy Story theme is 11:59pm Saturday February 7th. Display of all entries on the 8th, with online voting running the following week. Results of the voting poll will be announced on Sunday February 15th.

The submission deadline for submissions to the Resistance theme is 11:59pm Saturday March 7th. Display of all entries on the 8th, with online voting running the following week. Results of the voting poll will be announced on Sunday March 15th. 

 

Each theme entry provides 50 bonus points on top of the regular point allocation for the figure(s) terrain piece.

For those who wish to participate please mark your theme entries with the theme's title to help us with identification and organization.

Looking forward to seeing what people come up with this year's themes!
