I'm curious to see if anyone is interested in another modelling contest. I don't know if enough time has passed since the last one, but I know many users will probably be available during summer, so if there are enough willing modellers here who are quite certain they'd like to participate, I would like to hear your voices!
If we gather enough people, I'll convert this thread to a theme discussion one later.
Vote for your favourite themes! Here is a short description for each available theme:
Vote for your favourite themes! Here is a short description for each available theme:
| Tier 1 Equivalent ("Footman") | Contestants must create a unit that fits the role of a standard mass-production cannon fodder unit, like a footman, a ghoul, a grunt, etc. It can be a part of the existing Warcraft 3 races(and thus effectively be a 'replacement') or a part of a different\unique race. |
| Portable Buildings | A building which can morph into a portable\mobile form. For example: Starcraft's Terran buildings, a gnomish factory which can inflate balloons to lift off and fly, an undead beetle carrying a factory on its back, which can burrow into the ground to produce, or similar except it burrows down to move underground, a giant zeppelin which can land and open hatches where produced units will exit, etc. |
| Leader | Contestants must create a unit or a hero who is the leader of an army, group or organization. In-WC3 examples: Archmage Antonidas, Lord Garithos, Thrall, Arthas, Ogre Lord, Forest Troll Warlord, Tauren Chieftain. |
| Wizards | Contestants are to create a unit or a hero who's main form of combat is magic. The model needs to clearly show that the unit or hero in question is a mage or wizard of some kind or another. "Spellblades" or other mixed combat users are also allowed, as long as the focus on the 'magic' part of their arsenal is as big or bigger than the focus on their other form of combat. |
| Veteran | Contestants are to create a unit or hero representing a veteran - a person who has long-standing experience in their field of work, and most often had been through hard times(e.g, a soldier who participated in a war). The model has to clearly represent the character's status as a veteran. Examples: An old knight covered in scars or war wounds, a wise healer who has served for many long ears, a politician who has been elected for many terms of office... |
| Builders / Workers | Contestants are to create a unit which represents a worker, either replacing one of the original 4 races, or belonging to a different race. Examples are available in the Hive's model section under the tags "worker" or "builder". The in-game examples are Peon, Peasant, Acolyte and Wisp, as well as Ghoul and Goblin Shredder to a lesser extent. |
| Re-imagining | Contestants are to recreate a unit or hero from Warcraft III in their own vision, while keeping the original unit's themes and motives. Some examples can be found in Direfury's models from the model section, as well as Tauer's Grommash Hellscream model. |
| Corrupted / Fel / Cursed | Contestants are to create a model representing something corrupted or cursed, by demonic\fel energies or similar. For example: Fel Orcs, Satyrs, giant spiders and corrupted Furbolgs. |
| Defensive Structures | Contestants are to create a stationary or semi-stationary structure whose main function is defence. For example: Towers, Ancient Protectors, tower-mounted ballistae and catapults. Anything that (usually) stays in its place and helps to defend an area, structure or settlement. |
| Fantasy / Medieval Tech | Contestants are to create a unit, hero or structure which clearly uses medieval or fantastical technology - for example, a catapult or a trebuchet, but also a Goblin Zeppelin, Goblin Shredder, Dwarven Siege Engine, Gnomish Flying Machine, etc. |
