I've already got the makings of a dessert 40k world half finished, I'll finish this in the next couple weeks and bring it in to show you. I'll find a suitable name for it.
As a little clarification to what boldo had mentioned about prizes. We were discussing doing the Daboyz made plaques, where members of daboyz would volunteer to paint / conver / assemble different trophies to go onto these plagues that i believe courtney has arranged to get?
To go with these we were discussing what would make a "cool" interesting and inspiring prize for fantasy, the idea we came up with was to take an ork battalion box set, possibly add a box or two of the new orc models (which are due out a few weeks before the tournie if gw dosnt screw with things) have us volunteers paint a unit each and base them, viola. somewhere around 1000 points of painted orcs, with all thier cool units / cool new models as a prize. Ends up being in the $100-120 range and sounds impressive. Any thoughts or comments?

Sounds like a good Idea! So is it going to be Orks for both fantasy and 40k? Or are you going to do something diffrent for 40k?

I'VE GOT BOXES OF PLASTIC PARTS THAT CAN BE MADE INTO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING (BUILDINGS, BUNKERS, ect.), IF YOU'VE GOT A CREATIVE MIND. I COULD DROP THE STUFF OF AT BOLDO'S SOMETIME AND YOU GUY'S CAN JUMP ON IT TO CREATE CONCEPTS, AND DECIDE WHO MAKES WHAT. FROM A MANAGEMENT POINT OF VIEW , THE TIME TO GET THIS DONE IS NOW, BECAUSE WHEN THE WEATHER BRAKES IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO COMMIT. RECOMMENDATION: DECIDE HOW MANY TABLES ARE NEED FOR THIS TOURNAMENT, AND HOW MANY PIECES OF LANDSCAPE ON AVERAGE SHOULD BE ASSIGNED TO EACH TABLE, AND THEN ASSUME A SAFETY FACTOR, JUST IN CASE. THIS WILL GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON WORK LOAD FOR THIS TASK, AND THEN VOLUNTEERS CAN BE ASSIGNED. I'VE GOT TO CUT THIS SHORT, PRIVET EMAIL NOT REQUIRED ON THIS TOPIC. GOOD LUCK! LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT IT, (NOT MUCH ROOM REQUIRED). P.S.REMEMBER, ONCE YOU BUILD IT, YA GOTTA STORE IT!

If you need a hand with the website, let me know. I excel at making things shiny and pretty looking.

I would like to point out that the suggestion of awarding PLAGUES is a really bad idea. Now plaques on the other hand sounds like a good plan.
MY own two cents on the overall prize is actually a simple question. I know a fully painted starter army sounds cool, but many of us (and by us I mean gamers) like to do their own painting and converting. Also, if we have many volunteers painting, we have to coordinate so it looks like an amry afterwards. Just wondering if the painting is the best idea. It could go either way, and I'm not trying to shoot it down as an idea, just bringing up a thought.
