Hey I wasn't able to post my model to for the contest on the Facebook page because I'd been a member of it for less than 3 days. Is there anyway I can get my model submitted?

when it says custom bases are allowed does that mean we can interchange any base to set the entered model on?

A

Do you contact the winners personally and not publicly?

Archvillain Games · August 5, 2021

Hey Adam, We announce our winners publicly here with a Patreon Post and then they contact us here. If you are contacted by a suspicious site ( @archvillaingames ) please do not respond it is a scam!

Hello! For the dioramas does it have to be 100mm base aswell? Also, can we modify the models slightly (by hand after printing)?

This sounds like a lot of fun! The stuff you all put out this month is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not even close to a professional, but I certainly can't wait to enter! Could my son also enter a painted miniature? Although he is 13 he isn't on social media at all. If we both can't submit one, could I include a picture of his painted mini with my entry just so he can put it online with the rest of the pictures?

Why can't we scale up Resin prints ??? I like painting 75mm scale and not all model are supplied this way

A
Archvillain Games · October 14, 2020

Hey Sam. We need to compare skills on the same size of a model, scaling things up would hinder that. Everyone likes different things, its understandable that we cannot please everyone, however we need to set a standard for entries.

Jamie Ryan Lahowetz · October 11, 2020

can we have furniture in our dioramas?

A
Archvillain Games · October 12, 2020

Hey Jamie! Yes you can have furniture in your dioramas as long as the base size doesn't exceed 100mm.

Excuse me, if I post 2 entry "Bear Vanguard" but in different pose and scale. Is it follow the rule "-One entry per patron allowed.-Print size must be no more than 100%." ? Or i need to paint different character for each entry?

A
Archvillain Games · September 26, 2020

Hey 慶元 曾 . You can only have one entry per account and in 100% scale .
