Judging Criteria:
The top 3 prize winners will be chosen by you! Voting will open October 31st and close on November 3rd. You will be able to vote on as many submissions as you like! Emails will be collected at the time of voting. IF YOUR SUPPLIED EMAIL DOES NOT MATCH AN ACTIVE PATREON ACCOUNT, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED!
Important Dates:
Contest Launch: TODAY!
Submission Deadline: Friday, October 31st at 9AM EDT
Winner Announcement: Monday, November 3rd at 9:30AM EDT
------------------------------------------------------
Additional Details:
Photo touch-ups are allowed but please no photoshopping the helmet directly. Changing backgrounds/lighting is allowed. If overly edited, clarifying photos may be requested.
Helmet must be at least 90% scale. If in question, photographic proof may be requested.
Both canon and custom helmets are allowed for submission.
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.
Given the historical lineage of the Trench Pilgrim helmet, a white based finish will result in immediate disqualification and ban.
Although the 40k news stings, we think it's the perfect time to pivot to another "Grimdark" universe we've become fast fans of!
Photo submissions and usernames of the submitted content will be used in future social media posts and video content.

are mashups with other GA files allowed?
Aiden
Is the email we send it with the one we signed up for Patreon with or the one we send to gain access to rewards?
Aaron Hughes
Yes!
Emanuel Kaperonis
Hey! New here and really want to enter this contest, am I eligible being located in Australia?
Alex Alfonso
Im on it!!!
Paul
First time entering one of these contests and just going to wing it and have fun. From the 40K helmet contest there is some steep competition here but you have to start somewhere.
Adam Goldberg
I'm a new Patron. I'm not seeing these files in your store. Where can I get the files for these helmets?
Aaron Hughes
Just a photo but I'd recommend a collage if you're trying to capture every angle of it
Aaron Hughes
Only one submission but you can do multiple helmets in the photo
Karol Gordon
Is printing on K1max allowed? ;)
Karol Gordon
I would like to know that too
Eric Mulgannon
wooo
Daniel Rubio
You might’ve gotten this question but can you have multiple entries? For the contest?
Hoolligan Valiente
Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with
Hoolligan Valiente
Can we do like 10 second video showcasing the whole helmet?
David Wagner
Is there a rule of someone not being allowed to enter if they won the previous contest? Seen it to often where its usually the same group of people winning that I have stopped paying attention to any contests from patreon.
Hoolligan Valiente
Bring it on don’t hold back there is no points for second best. Don’t hold back or you will be cheating yourself
Dennis Salguero
Sick! I'm already printing the Artillery Witch helmet.
Hoolligan Valiente
Don’t make it your best own it make it happen push pass your limits good luck to you
Hoolligan Valiente
For everyone who’s doing this good Luck to you may the odd be in you favor don’t hold back. I know I won’t. Let’s make this contest epic
Goofygoober
Can you join if you live in Europe?
James Flaagan
Cool, been thinking of printing something different from what I've done lately. When you say "must be active and vote", I only just joined last week (got those WH40k files right before I ended up in the hospital for the rest of the week). What kind of voting activity would I need to do to make sure I wouldn't be disqualified?
Garrett Davis
Totally going to give it my best shot! Never entered a contest like this before so who knows what will happen!
Aaron Hughes
"Take a SINGLE picture of your helmet and submit it to contest@galacticarmory.net with the subject line: Trench Crusade Contest Submission (Collages are allowed)"
Aaron Hughes
Hi! Since you're an annual member you've got access to all my files in that google drive link I sent you through DM. In that folder you'll find a sub folder called "039 Galactic Armory Patreon Rewards Folder". That's where all these new releases are getting uploaded. At the end of the month the oldest files in there will get archived to the other folders in the annual libarary
Aaron Hughes
You can do multiple helmets but only 1 entry
Robert Capraun
Are members limited to a single entry? Can we print/submit 2 or more helmets into the contest?
SH Burkart
Gonna go off the stated rules and hazard that by definition, "unrecognizable" would mean it wouldn't be eligible for the contest.
Gordon Rain
OK...ok, I will confess to being a 70yo retired Architect/Engineer who is a lifelong fan of this genre and a Patreon member of Galactic Armory, but...I cannot figure out how to easily access almost any of these files, contests, etc. etc. Any chance that someone (you listening Galactic Armory) might point me at a tutorial, an instruction site that can explain this process easily that takes into account that not everyone out here is a double-jointed nimble thumbed wizard? Thank you in advance. : - )
RHMakesStudio
So how far can we modify a helmet? I have an image in my head of what I want to do but it would be unrecognizable from the original stl
Tanner Govin
Hey guys can we do collages to get multiple angles or do we need to keep it to one single picture
Bruno
Nevermind I see them all listed now. The post confused me since it said only 3 were added but I see all 5 in the July link now. Thanks! Looking forward!
Robert Noon
I told myself I wasn’t gonna enter any more contests…but damn it all - I’m entering this one. I already have an idea on what to do - hopefully it won’t “crack” like my last contest submission
Bruno
I saw 3 helmets come through in the Patreon folder but 5 are listed for entry. I scrolled through their MMF store but didn't see any helmets. Can we get links to the others in case we want to purchase the additional 2 from them directly?
Aaron Hughes
Yes!
Aaron Hughes
We had about 300 entries in our last helmet contest!
Josh Urlaub
Love the new helmets and will try my best to get myself an H2D. Does anyone know how many people submitted to the previous contests?
Logan O'Rourke
Can UK patrons join in ?
Henry Lisitski
Usually yes
Captain Flex Creations
The last contest didnt even have any modified helmets win and even if so, it's based on community vote. WOMP WOMP
Captain Flex Creations
They kind of do that. Any one person can only win a specific printer once. That doesnt really matter for this one, since its the first time they're giving away H2Ds, but that means the winners of this contest wont be eligible to win any future contests with H2Ds as the prizes
Will Roberts
Ooooooh good choice of base topic, hell yeah!
Ryan Torrence
Was going to buy an H2D, I’ll try throwing my hat in the ring instead
NerdyGeekyDude
Is this one entry per person?
t-rav
Is this a contest for printing helmets or is this like the other ones and is a CAD contest?

Norman Barud
Can’t wait!
