==How To Win==

[[THIN YOUR PAINTS]].

If entering the vehicle category, enter a Dreadnought. Anything other than a Dreadnought seems to have an automatic disadvantage with the judges.

Unlike regular modelling contests, the judges will not be trained sadists armed with digital calipers and flashlights to check engine bays to see if you've put a fully detailed engine where nobody will ever see it. So if you can't see it, don't worry about it.

Sneak as many parts by other manufacturers in as possible. This works less well after Kevan Downey in the UK entered what was obviously a converted Tamiya Dragon Wagon model and ''White Dwarf'' gave it the full textual handjob before realising the "tiny chains" they'd praised him for adding were part of the stock kit.

"Judges will be looking for well-painted models that adhere to the imagery and ethos of the worlds represented in the fictional worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000." This means you can't troll them and try to win with your squad of [[Female Space Marines]] or [[Squats]] -- though now that Squats are canon in [[Warhammer 40,000 6th edition|6th Edition]]...
