Is the Deinonychus Centerpiece a valid entry for legendary? I see no Terrain listed in the rules.

Awesome work guys! For this months contest are the elf bikers large or standard for the unit category? I'm planning on painting 6 up but wondering on how quickly I need to work on them?

Thank you! I really enjoy doing layering by increasing the brightness little by little. Picking a light direction helps a ton.
