[Sir Justin the Damned]

[Malchus Von Carstein]

Hello folks - well thanks to a rail strike I've been given an excellent excuse to stay at home today, listen to the cricket and finish off my entry! Good luck to all the other competitors, there are some fantastic entries on here!

FINAL ENTRY

 

[Sir Justin the Damned]

good job on the zombies and glowing lanterns malchus

 

[The Dark Sheep]

*Goes back and counts* It seems like we only need one more entry to make it an even twenty...

 

[Sir Justin the Damned]

how do i vote on this?

 

[The Dark Sheep]

A poll will be added when the competition closes.

 

[Sir Justin the Damned]

thanks dude

 

[Ninzie]

Each final entry is allowed up to three photos from various angles.

Some people will get disgualified coz of that unless they do something about it.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Ninzie is quite right.

You are only allowed 3 photographs. If I can I will choose the best three but I may not choose the ones people like so I suggest people edit themselves.

Entry closes on two and half hours!

Well I'm sure the organisers will get that sorted out by the time of the final poll Ninzie, especially considering one of the mods is one to exceed that rule requirement.. I count 8 angles/photos of your entry the dark sheep :tongue:

Mind you, let me do say I am gobsmacked at the quality of your entry. Same goes for alot of the other contenders, you certainly haven't made it easy at all to make a decision when it comes to voting. Are there any guidelines that the voters should take into account? Like should we think about things in terms of originality or the thought behind the mini/unit or the quality of the painting/sculpting etc. I mean, is it purely a painting competition, or does it go beyond that into a more general area?

Finally, no disrespect to last years at all, which I entered a very substandard entry myself, but this years golden bat just seems to have taken it to another level. Inspiring, and intimidating all at the same time :lol:

 

[Azazel]

I am new to this forum and I really like the idea of having painting competitions like this one because it motivates me to get my army started... right now I have a whole VC army sitting in boxes waiting to be put together so this contest gave me the chance to get one of my character models put together and painted.... next time I'll try doing an unit instead of a character!

Good luck everyone,
Andoni

I actually forgot that myself, but now I have updated it with a picture that does not contain the detail shots (BtW two of those close ups were just cut out from the second picture). As for guidlines for the voters, I'm sure it'll be icluded in the first post of the poll.

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

There are some truely amazing models in here now. No idea how i'm going to decide which one to vote for.

Final Entry (click on her to go to Webshots, then click on the photo at Webshots to get a full-resolution shot that reveals ALL her blemishes)




The colours are slightly washed out due to the bad evening light. Still; here she is.

 

[Bug16]

@Cpt_Fluffy - Dag nabbit! I was going to paint that model for this competition!!! I'm sure there's room for two of the same model to be submitted but I'd rather pick something else now (I'm not sure I can beat your paintjob either!).

Btw, I still can't stop starting at her vampiric cleavage!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Cpt_Fluffy - you was technically passed the closing time, however it was my fault for not closing the thread last night - something came up.

So I will allow the entry - if anyone has a problem with this please PM me.

I will now be creating the voting thread which will appear at 1200 GMT today.
