I was wondering what types of science fiction was allowed. For example, my Orks are fairly post-apocalyptic in design, would they be allowed?

I've started my build, and I'm taking heavy inspiration from XCOM in my faction.
Only problem with silver bullets is the price of silver.

I'm happy to see that a lot of people are planning to participate. I think the theme of the event fits brikwars concept very well.
