The Rules:
- Build and paint enough models to teach your fellow Goblins the basics of the game of your choise. In other words create a demo package for the game of your liking.
FAQ:
- What is WOW?
The Worlds of War project is designed to give you a phased approach to build and paint one of those games you always wanted to do. It also provides opportunity to dip your toes in one of the games one of your fellow Gobbo’s have chosen. - What game is this about?
There are a million possible worlds in the human imagination, as a wargamer, all these worlds are at war. Worlds of War is a phased approach to building, collecting and painting one of these idea’s. Whether this is a new and shiny boxed game or one of those forgotten classics. You might even be one of those mad minds that goes and creates his own :-). Even if you don’t feel like starting a new game, you can still participate by taking a different look at something you already play. If, for example, you’re only interested in Warhammer 40k, you could create a demo-kit for “40k in 40 minutes”. - Is there a model count?
Well, lets be honest. No there isn’t, but you better make sure that your jousting game has kick-ass scenery, a very cool looking rulebook and such so you can compete with the others. - What are these achievements you keep talking about?
A complete list of the achievements can be found below. You can also find every achievement on your achievement card. You will receive the achievement card after you enter the challenge. - How can I enter the challenge?

This sounds familiar …
Well it should! It’s a rendition of last years ABC with another theme, but with the same spirit. So expect us to give you a hard time about the shame of not finishing, or worse, not competing 🙂
