Here you will find the rules for the painting competition of the Rising Sun GT 2019.

Basic Entry Rules

  1. All models must be Citadel Miniatures of one of the following ranges from Games Workshop:
    • Warhammer Age of Sigmar
    • Warhammer 40000
    • Warhammer Underworlds
    • Warhammer Quest (any edition released for AoS or 40000)
  2. Models must be displayed on an appropiate base, plinth or any other display surface.
  3. Each participant can submit as many entries per category as wanted as long as each entry has its own ticket. A single entry can only be presented in one category. Entries to more than one category must be different models.
  4. Each entry must have an entry form filled out. You will receive the form(s) upon registration at the venue.
  5. Each entry must be painted by the participant. Participants cannot enter models painted by a third person. Infringement of this rule will result in the immediate disqualification of the participant, with no right for any reimbursement. We take cheating very seriously.
  6. All models must be authentic. If a model is a pirate copy or a recast (even made by the participant) of an original model, the entry will be removed from the contest, and the owner disqualified. Again, we take cheating and the infringement of copyright laws very seriously.
  7. Entries will be displayed openly on both September 14th and 15th. Judging will occurr during September 15th afternoon. The contest winners will be announced on the 15th, on the prize award ceremony, after all the games of the Rising Sun GT are finished.
