Hey One Page Rules, Question on submissions, Terrain is not allowed, but can I use it as a background for my submission?

Does the unit of 5 have to be from the file, or could you add the sniper leader to a group of 4 snipers?

Since the tree giants only became available today, are we allowed to use them?

Unfortunately because it's only available to December backers, it won't be included in January's Contest since it wouldn't be available to anyone joining in January.

I remember there being posts on the Patreon with links to vote on that months contest, but I didn't get any for this month and going back to check, I can't find any from previous months. Where are people going to vote for the contest?

Painting Contest voting is found in the weekly news posts. Usually the first one after the 25th of the month.

I honestly don't know what to say, I'm blown away to see my name in 1st, there were genuinely so many good submissions in the solo category this month and there was a few i thought were contenders to take out 1st place for sure that made me think I'd be lucky to chase 2nd or 3rd place if any at all. I had so much fun practicing glaze blending on this project and I'm looking forward working on my January piece and seeing what everyone else submits this month! Amazing work everyone!
