Feel free to add accessories to your helmet to make it unique but the helmet should still be identifiable as from our files.
The social media submission should include the helmet you're working on and mention that the files are from the Galactic Armory Patreon.
As always I'm so excited to see the creativity and skill showcased in this community! Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
Photo submissions and usernames of the submitted content will be used in future social media posts and video content.
I did clarify from the beginning that collages were allowed

I’ve seen some of what people have submitted for the contest, and I think you should have clarified what’s acceptable for picture entry. A SINGLE picture is just that, a SINGLE picture. A collage of pictures in one “frame” is not a SINGLE picture. Just saying…
Alex
2024-11-22 08:23:45 +0000 UTC
You can paint it whatever color you like
Aaron Hughes
2024-11-04 16:33:27 +0000 UTC
1 photo per helmet or one photo for all the helmets? (all in one picture)
Lui
2024-11-04 16:20:41 +0000 UTC
ok yea only need to change the front grill and add wings
Lui
2024-11-04 03:30:19 +0000 UTC
To what extent are modifications are allowed?
Lui
2024-11-04 03:20:34 +0000 UTC
Yes, as long as a majority of the helmet is from the approved list
Aaron Hughes
2024-11-04 03:19:36 +0000 UTC
Lui
2024-11-04 03:10:34 +0000 UTC
Just wanted to bump this because it seems the community might agree based on the “likes”. Any consideration for the suggestions about the entry details?
Alex Falgione
2024-11-01 23:42:06 +0000 UTC
Yes
Aaron Hughes
2024-10-29 14:55:07 +0000 UTC
Is the reiver helmet allowed in the contest as that's what i have printed
Richard Lee
2024-10-29 14:43:53 +0000 UTC
I do have one question that may have been asked before. Are we able to paint whatever color we want, or do it have to match the paint scheme chosen? I assume we can, but figure I ask to be certain.
Will Maloy
2024-10-23 16:31:14 +0000 UTC
Most my Bulwark helmet is almost printed. So excited for this, and to see other members handiwork. Good luck everyone! 🫡
Will Maloy
2024-10-23 15:24:31 +0000 UTC
Seems like everyone is doing chaplain, know nothing of warharmer but thd designs are cool, so i along with so many others will most likely be one of many GR style chaplains
Irish Justin
2024-10-21 20:31:07 +0000 UTC
Can we limit each patron to one helmet? Multiple helmets per patron coukd lead to non members submitting or friends helping each other win a prize without paying like we all do.
Irish Justin
2024-10-21 20:29:38 +0000 UTC
If we set the print scale to 90% but alter one axis to a lets say 120% is that ok?
Jive Turkey
2024-10-14 00:36:34 +0000 UTC
Can I enter two helmets to the contest ? Or just the one ?
Alex
2024-10-13 15:10:04 +0000 UTC
Question about the contest. My idea was to print one of the helmets and nurglify it. I would not use any other creator's files; I would most likely use sculpting clay. Would that be acceptable or against the contest rules?
Sean c Turner
2024-10-08 01:28:09 +0000 UTC
Enter anyways and after you win, withdraw your name. They can always just give the prize to the runner up.
Andrew Alexander

This is my first competition and I'm so exited! However I'm in high school so I don't have too much time to work on it but I'll do my best. I'm currently working on the Chaplain Helmet which is looking pretty good so far. Wishing everyone luck! FOR THE EMPEROR!
Edwin Brink
2024-10-07 00:07:44 +0000 UTC
Can we customize with parts we make ourselves? Would love to use the Primaris as a base for a night lord build!
Kieron
2024-10-06 16:24:54 +0000 UTC
Just joined for the space marine helmets and saw this! Rocking a Neptune 4 pro but ill be trying to crank one out in time. Awesome offering!
Austin Coppedge

2024-10-02 06:20:21 +0000 UTC
Can I suggest instead of only one picture submission we actually require three photos? 1 front, 1 45 degree angle and 1 rear photo? I feel like this would give us all a better idea of the quality and detail of the paint job as well as insuring that the helmets are complete and not that anyone would do it, but it also helps to make sure a lot of digital/post production editing isn’t taking place. Also, I’d just like to be able to show more of my contest entry. Thoughts?
Alex Falgione
2024-10-02 04:34:45 +0000 UTC
I would give yourself 2 1kg spools to account for failed prints

Yessir! Thank you for responding
Drew Rodgers
2024-10-01 01:45:41 +0000 UTC
Let's not include files from other creators please
Aaron Hughes
2024-10-01 01:43:02 +0000 UTC
This is going to be an awesome challenge! I can't wait to see everyone's hard work from making these already glorious helms into legendary wargear! When it comes to adding accessories to our helmets, are we allowed to use attachments that are from other STL creators as long as we give credit and are using Galactic Armory's base helmets? Or are we only allowed to use attachments that are made from Galactic Armory/ in Space Marine 2? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! FOR THE EMPEROR!
Drew Rodgers
2024-10-01 01:35:29 +0000 UTC
I don't believe so
Aaron Hughes
2024-09-30 15:46:50 +0000 UTC
I'm not sure if you answered this elsewhere already but does the Bulwark dome (without the bottom attached) work with the Secundus face plate and back pieces?
Coy Johanning
2024-09-30 15:34:55 +0000 UTC
Hell yes! Just printed the ODST helmet in 2 pieces but might have to first do this then! Super fun
Jojojoppie
2024-09-30 13:48:23 +0000 UTC
I'll see what I can do!
Aaron Hughes
2024-09-30 11:31:13 +0000 UTC
I will be giving this a miss. It won't be fair to others as I am a qualified Prop Maker and I have handmade helmets in 2 Games Workshop stores.
Keith Brown
2024-09-30 10:51:03 +0000 UTC
I've started printing the Chaplain helmet at 90% but would love it if there was an face option that was untextured yet still with rivets and panel line details. Would that be possible you think? Cheers
ALEX Rimmington
2024-09-30 08:17:19 +0000 UTC
so we can enter more then once ????
Chris Bingham
2024-09-30 02:51:02 +0000 UTC
With all the great work that was put into the Helldiver contest I know this will be a solid challenge. Looking forward to measuring my talents against this creative community. Cheers all!

Yes
Aaron Hughes

Just to make sure, the assault helmet is the primaris one?
Max Bukovsky
2024-09-29 21:46:47 +0000 UTC
How much filament will I need on average to print one of these?
Jon Bowers
2024-09-29 21:21:35 +0000 UTC
might have a crack at this, even if i am yet to delv into the warhammer universe (keen try to try the game). In terms of modifying helmet, can we add clay ontop of it? or just accessories? would mean slightly modifying the design a bit just want to be sure.

Hi from the UK, say hi to my cousin and uncle if you pass by Merida. I dream of accepting their invite to my daughter and I but at £2k per return flight each it stays a dream.
Nick Smith
2024-09-28 23:19:56 +0000 UTC
I feel like I don't know so much about this universe other than Helsreech but I will definitely enter something. Maybe the four times it took to print the last part of the current helmet. Three fails on the face grill before I realised that the temperature has dropped so finally the lightbulb moment and this genius raised the bed temperature by ten degrees and bingo. 24hrs it took 🤷🤦😂
What a spanner!
Nick Smith
2024-09-28 23:12:29 +0000 UTC
Challenge expected!! Good luck everyone 🤩

I usually never participate because I have a very bad luck, but hey! I just finished printing the Bulwark helmet and I am going for the Chaplain!
Question though, is the picture only for 1 helmet or can I include both?
Greetings from Mexico! - For the emperor!!
