Hello, does the High elf APC count as a solo model or a unit? as it is technically both according to the Army builder

Victor Saboya · March 6, 2024

Solo, the unit category have to have 3 large minis like the vampire knights or 5 small models like the elfs

Congratulations to all the winners. I will be back in March but I honestly wonder if I have been discarded? I think I uploaded my picture in square form and it had my username. But you can't enter in which category you want to enter anywhere can you? Maybe I can get some feedback here if my unit was considered?

Hello, Unfortunately the unit you've submitted is from the January release, and not eligible for the February contest.

Jeremy Allan · March 6, 2024

So by this month, does that mean we have to use the minis released in March? Or the ones in Feb? Depending on when the march ones come out, wouldn't that be pretty tight time wise?

Hello, To participate in the March Painting Contest you would have to enter with a model that has been released in March.
