I had contemplated adding a "race"-like stipulation like I did with the spaceships, but decided against it. Was going to be categories like:

Magic
Mutant
Alien
Tech
Human

but I figured you guys would probably categorize yourself using these arch-types anyway for the most part.

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

if texturing is not required then is this just a modeling challenge?

Presentation is really what is judged, if you boil it all down. I've seen really well presented untextured models and really crappy presented fully textured models.
