Note that the model has no GW parts. That's the magic of this model.

Regardless of how I do overall I'm very happy with the results. In a single effort I created the Dark Apostle I wanted for my Cultist force (Who better to lead dedicants of Nurgle than a genuine Champion) and finished a contest entry.

I'll post a better pic later today, but here's another angle for now:

That's some impressively repurposed goods!

I have only just realised the date, what with going on holiday and starting a new job, I haven't had time to finish painting my entry (I'm slow!) and am therefore going to have to drop out on the 11th hour!
Good luck to everybody else though, and I will post photos of mine when it is actually finished!

Last photo, official entry. See Random Projects thread for more.



Really rushed. I'll be back.

i need an early night... but i am leaving you with this...:

final entry as well...









best wishes to all!

cheers, vik

So graven... any news on the contest? Summary of entries, anything like that??

I know, I'm sorry! I will get stuff up in the next 12hrs just been crazy with Halloween and the kids.

Hey gang,

So sorry about the delay!
Right, finished entries:

Llamahead - finished



Viktor Von Domm - WIPs










Gitsplitta - Finished




Skalk Bloodaxe - Finished



And the rest, for reference:
Casey's Law - WIPs


ryanroberts - WIPs


storag - WIPs


Alfndrate - WIPs


Let the voting (me & briancj) commence! If finished entrants would like to submit their favourite I'll also do a popular vote (link to rules in sig).

Thanks guys, and bon chance as Yggs would say!

So glad I stayed out of this one, some amazing work there guys.

Good luck to you.

Nice lineup there graven. Even the incomplete models are spectacular!

I quite agree!
And with that in mind, I'm adding 2 extra categories:
The WIP award - for incomplete effort, which will be chosen by judges, and will be at their personal discretion (sorry briancj, more work for you ).
The People's Choice - for the one you, my lovelies, like the most.

You don't have to adhere to scorecard necessarily, just pick your favourite piece of repurposing.

It's just a damn popularity contest

Voting closes 15th Nov, so vote early, vote often. Or something like that.

Also my p&m exile is coming to end! The study is reborn - office space:


And hobby space:

Big cupboard is hers, new desk is mine. Now, the question is cupboards or shelves on the wall? it's going to be paint and bitsboxes, mostly. I have plenty of storage for cases etc, this is about ready access to supplies. your thoughts?

Would I say that ?!? Or rather "let the hounds feast !!!"

Was about to skip on the voting... All those parameters make me feel dizzy and dumb... But since you opened the door for the less bright voters...my vote for the peeps choice award is on gitsplitta. And if I may vote for a wip entry...definatly my money is on storag's elf!


As for the shelves vs cupboard issue...shelves, definitely shelves, way more flexible...

Going to have to echo the vote for Gitsplitta myself.

I think you need to renegotiate your hobby space...

Begun, the deliberations have...

choosing is hard. Nice new space, commence with the hobby time!

Resounding in favour of shelves then! btw any more public/WIP votes? judges have decided and I'd like to announce the winners! I'll close public at midnight.

Shelves would be easier to get to, but Cupboards can be made kid proof and hide the clutter!

Ok, well, here we go. First of all, thanks to all who took part, finished and WIP alike, my mighty co-judge briancj and all who voted in the people's choice!
So...
It was tough, but the judges were in absolute agreement. Though a close contest, we reached the same conclusion

Congrats Gits! Great model

Congratz to you all other winners too! It was a very cool comp... Hopfully somthong like this comes up again someday!

I knew I should have voted for myself. Congrads Gitz.

How about the unfinished WIP winner? Honorable mention at least I hope

Thanks guys. There was a LOT of inspiration from my fellow competitors and not the least of all inmygravenimage. I've never tried doing anything like that before. Has given me all kinds of ideas for future projects.

Thanks graven for putting on such a unique and cool competition. And thanks Brian for lending your expertise to the judging. I've very well versed in the fantastic constructs you create on a regular basis.

Thanks a lot it's been great fun especially as it gave me the kick up the arse to begin my 6mm fantasy projects in the first place.

Congrats Gits, enjoyed lurking in on this.

Good job Gits I really liked yours.

Thanks guys. After some struggling to find the right parts, the build went together very easily. The painting not so much for some reason... but in the end it turned out O.K..

Congrats to Gits, a worthy winner
