Guidelines for Participation
Does It Have To Be A Games Workshop Model?
Nope! Although the event is named Fabulous Marines, any model can be made fabulous. Busts, animal companions, valorous knights, pride-themed terrain, digital art, and more are all welcome to join the virtual pride parade.
The event originally got its name during community discussions about promoting inclusivity in the wargaming community, and the name stuck.
What about the Weapons?
Since our marines will be prancing down the digital pride parade, you are encouraged to make their weapons a bit less threatening and more fun.
Here are some ideas for stylizing or converting your weapons:
- Guns: confetti canons, bubble gun, silly string shooter, bedazzled, nerf guns
- Swords: rainbow power swords, glow sticks, light sabers, wands, flags, canes
Any rules or etiquette?
Other than adhering to TOS, we ask that you be mindful of the words you choose when promoting the event. We're doing our best to make this a positive experience, so please avoid starting a fight with people who don't share our views. If you have someone trying to pick a fight, don't engage them. Report hate speech and block the user.
A phrase we've always found helpful to tell people: “We don't do that here"
It isn't confrontational, and simply sets rules and boundaries. If they push back in defense, the easiest response is "Sure, but we don't do that here." Remember that there's power in your words. We set examples for others in a hundred different ways in every interaction. Make it a positive one!
Can I Participate As An Ally?
Our allies are encouraged to participate - we need your support to make/prove the wargaming and mini painting communities can be safe spaces for LGBTQ+.
A united community makes the strongest impact.
