February Theme wrote: For the Love Of...

It is a time of darkness - but the motivations of characters are manyfold and multitudinous. The theme for February is a character driven by love - but a love of what? This might be a character utterly devoted to the Emperor, or the darkest of Gods - a character driven mad by jealousy and desire, or a character addicted to carnage, slaughter or even drugs or alcohol. What joy have they been able to eke out of the dark millennium?

Hi all,2015 has been a great year for this sub-forum, and I want to do something to celebrate the huge wealth of inspiration and talent we've got here. At Christmas I myself received a bunch of modelling kits, which helped to massively reinvigorate my hobby. I want to do something along those lines too. I've been pondering this idea, and so I present:I was inspired by the artwork pages from Codex Witchhunters and Codex Daemonhunters that demonstrated some of the variety of servants an Inquisitor might have in his employ:To say nothing, of course, of the fantastic details from both the Inquisitor and Dark Heresy books.My plan is to provide you with a theme for each of the twelve months; I will, once firmed up, post the schedule ahead of time so people have time to plan and such. The intention is for posters to create (and paint?) a model within that month. The intention is for the thread to be one that sparks creativity, conversation and community.The themes are intended to be interpreted loosely, and there is no requirement for the models to be connected or part of the same warband (though that would be awesome.) This is fun!That said, I will do what I can to entice people to take part:I will offer two £10 Games Workshop gift vouchers each month - to the best modelling and the best completed model. I wouldn't want to disadvantage people like me who're allergic to paint (or who can't get their model completed.) If there were fine print I'd tell you to consult it, but it is of course wholly subjective and just a nice way of saying thank you to people for taking part on the Ammobunker.Tomorrow I'll post the first theme up and you'll have a month to put something cool together! I hope everyone enjoys taking part and making the Ammobunker the best place on the internet for these sorts of projects.Happy 2015 all - and best wishes for an even better 2016!Mol.
