Artistic Recognition — Armies on Parade!
Every participant in our Warhammer 40,000 event, may submit the army they are playing in the event as part of our artistic recognition challenge. Store patrons and appointed judges will review each submission with a list of criteria, and shall award a 1st Place and Runner-Up acknowledging excellence and dedication of artistry in bringing your army to life. This is the criteria judges will review:
- Is the entire army fully painted using at least a battle-ready minimum of 3 different colours?
- To what extent has the artist demonstrated shading and blending / a transition of colour?
- To what extent has the artist included shading and shadows?- To what extent the artist included fine detail work on a majority/all of the models? This includes sigils, emblems, facial features, and other markings that really bring the model to life?
- Has the artist included a display board to create a setting for the army on which to be displayed?
Event Notes
- Proxying / Artistic Reinterpretation, In each occurrence of a unit having a special weapon on your roster, the corresponding model must physically represent that weapon and cannot represent weaponry that is inaccurate or may mislead opponents. This reasoning stands for all alternate or custom sculpts. Please check with ACG tournament organizers
- All Base sizes must match unit requirements.
- All models must be predominantly GW in sculpt and make, and in the event of using alternative models these models should be shown to ACG tournament organizers before the tournament begins to verify acceptability. If models are found unacceptable, ACG will offer no recourse or alternative. Models found after the fact or unchecked by ACG tournament organizers will be removed from use at the tournament for the entirety of the tournament.

All rules releases must be at 2 weeks past there release date to be available to be used in this tournament.
