Are the War Soul Daemons eligible to be in the painting contest?
This is a little tricky since there's two versions at the moment. So the Plague Epic Avatar, the Plague Epic Soul and the War Epic Soul are all counted as the Legendary for this month so are all eligible for that category. However, the normal War and Plague Soul Daemons, while huge, don't count as legendary and would be featured in the Solo Category. All of them are eligible though as this will be the first time many patreons will be receiving them and while they are older kits, they are part of this release just as much as the new units.
Am I participating in the painting competition?
In order to participate you just have to send a single picture of your painted model/models for which ever category you choose to the link in this post. We'll take it from there and get it ready for display for people to vote on.
What I am loving about the monthly competition is not only the high standard of painting, but also all the ideas! Great work all.
