Chess Unit
Contestants should create an unit which is an artistic interpretation of a Chess piece.
- This theme is subjective. You don't need to ask "DOES MY ENTRY QUALIFY AS A CHESS UNIT?"
- DON'T TAKE THE THEME LITERALLY!!! You should model a wc3 unit/hero that performs like any other in wc3, but references in its concept to a certain piece of chess. That means:
- You shouldn't remove the legs of your unit just because it's chess
- You shouldn't paint your unit white just because it's a white piece
- You shouldn't model a horse in it only because it's the horse piece.
- It is nice to establish some relations to your piece, by many possible means: whether traditional chess appearance, or role in a battle, or the way it acts in chess game, or its symbolic personality, etc.
- Overall, just follow some logic and be creative
Example: a shiny-blue-armored lizardmen lancer riding a giant two-headed brown eagle - reference to the white horse.
- No submission may violate any of the site rules.
- If a submission does not follow the model submission rules the creator will be disqualified.
- All submissions must follow the current theme. If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you as soon as possible as to avoid confusion.
- Your submission must be posted before the deadline. The post containing your final submission must also contain the following:
