The WTF?! Award
If you don't know what WTF stands for, we're not telling you! There are some members out there that like to not only think outside the box, they like to step outside the realm of sanity, and design or paint in a way that makes you go....well WTF?! This prize is for those people. It is not based on skill but on the idea behind the entry.

The Nightmare Award
There are some models out there that just give us the heebie jeebies. The models that make us look away from our monitors and keeps us awake a night, this award is for them!

Living Doll Award
I know many of you like to go for realism over fantasy, and this award is especially for you. This is for the model that looks like it is about to stand up and start walking and talking!

The Joker Award
We like a good laugh! We all remember a funny model, the older ones of us will always remember the Zombie Bat-Pope. So for those that take the time to have some fun and make us laugh, this is a chance to be recognised.

Good luck to all!

1. Vampire Lord​

It's Reikenor the Grimhailer as a base, with with an old school metal mounted Necrarch Vampire with a staff change to one from the plastic Arkhan the Black kit. The cape is also from the Mortarch kit. Plus a bit of greenstuff for filling

7 - Spirit Hosts​

The Spirit Hosts were basically built from scratch - they aren’t alternative models from another company. I used terrain pieces (tombstones) for bases, the columns are carved from XPS foam (extruded polystyrene), and the spirits themselves are plastic lids from containers, bent with heat and reinforced with Green Stuff and Milliput

8. Necromancer​

- swapped the original left hand carrying the candle with old ghoul's paw to emphasize the dead- raising gesture,
- cut out the critter from the top of yoke, the mini is busy enough even without it,
- used a right paw of Plague priest from Skaven Plague Furnace as a base of necromancer's right hand,
- added the misshapen staff's top from the GW Necromancer miniature to the Skaven's paw.
