Announcing the BrickArms Battles Vignette Contest! To enter this contest, you'll need to create a vignette that features a completely off-the-wall, anachronistic battle between two factions, both of whom are armed with BrickArms products. The crazier the mismatch and wilder the battle, the better! A group of knights with Damien Blades facing off against a MP40-armed German troops backed up by a Panzer tank? A squad of scifi troopers aiming their M41 Pulse Rifles at some advancing WWII-era soldiers with Lee-Enfields and Bazookas? Anything you can dream up and build is fair game!
The Rules
- The vignette must be a complete new build that has previously not been posted on any location online
- Figs or builds that are part of both opposing factions featured in the vignette should feature some BrickArms products
- The baseplate of the vignette must range from 1x1 to 32x32 studs, no larger
- There should be no overhang (parts of the vignette that extend over the boundaries of the baseplate) in the build
- There is no limit on height, so feel to include some aerial action above the battleground
- You can enter as many vignettes as you like
- You must include one photo that clearly depicts the entire vignette. However, you can and should include several pictures showcasing the details of your vignette.
- Picture sizes should be formatted to no larger than 600 x 600 pixels. Use the Irfanview program to check the size and easily resize your images to within that limit.
- Any submissions that do no follow the above rules will be removed from the competitionHow to Enter
- Post your newly-created vignette in the BBVC Subforum of the Vignettes and Dioramas Forum of this board.
- When starting the thread for each entry submitted, name the thread as follows: BBVC Entry: Name of Your Vignette Here
- Send the enigma that is badger a PM with a link to the thread you have created for your entry
- Last date for entries to be submitted: Midnight (Central Time) August 23 Criteria for Judging- Overall quality of the build
- Creativity of the battle depicted
- Innovation in the use of BrickArms accessories
There will be three winners: A Grand Prize Winner and two Runners-up. Prizes will be an assortment of BrickArms accessories, including accessories in rare colors, chrome items, and prototypes.
Good luck and be sure to let your imagination run wild!

Just a quick thing I came across while building, does a minifig head going over the edge of the baseplate when leaning over count as overhang? MOD - No, so long as only the fig is what's extending beyond the edge of the baseplate - badger

Great, ANother Contest! ONe question, does the battle have to be between 2 parties, or can it be between 3 parties or 2 parties teamed up against 2 other parties?
I know the was a little confusing, sorry;)
-SMidy
MOD - While one faction against another is the minimum, if you feel like you can do a nice scene with more fighting against each other, that's fine so long as all sides are BrickArms-equipped! - badger
-Great, Thanks Badger.

the enigma that is badger wrote:To enter this contest, you'll need to create a vignette that features a completely off-the-wall, anachronistic battle between two factions, both of whom are armed with BrickArms products. So both armies have to have brickarms?(Every soldier on each side has to have one, or atleast one guy from each side?) I might try to make a small vig. I'll need to plan. MOD - There should be a healthy array of BrickArms on all sides of the conflict. Consider different weapons a great way to differentiate the sides of the battle! - badger
Twitter - Will have updates from Brickfair!
