So sorry for such a last minute entry CP. Mea culpa.

Build:

And the final. Size shot at bottom is for scale.
I call it "Grotmek Spanna's Revenge".


There are some notes to go with it that I'll put in a spoiler so I don't muck up the blog.
Spoiler:
there is a small amount of kit bashing and scratch building in the form of the twin-linked big shoota on his back. The boss pole combines the ork glyphs for grot and stompa. I repositioned the grot from the shoulder to the bicep so that he and the runt herder could be making eye contact.


Hmmm... looking at it there... I think if I added a couple of under slung guns... I'd have a credible deff dread!

Shame you missed out Denua... That's a great looking Mega Dread you got there... Keep your eyes peeled for the next round...

Right, I need to go rest after a long and hard evenings work - when I awaken I will ignore the heatwave in England and slave over my laptop judging all our wonderful entrants

wish me luck, hopefully I survive it...

Post by: Gitsplitta

I love that megadread of Denua's... He's got a group shot of that with a dread and some kans and it just towers over them. Very impressive.

Sooo many wonderful and creative entries... including the one's that didn't get done! I really don't envy you your job in judging Ruglud.

Even though I pulled out, I figured I'd post a shot of the still unfinished piece (Just for the hell of it). Not even close to the level of work on display here. Glad I'm not judging, I would be hard pressed to choose one over the others!

So.. the results. They are compiled. But will be announced when I get home and can make the decent post to justify the victory. It was a narrow contest for placing.

Post by: Smitty

If I had to guess, I'd say that it'd be around 6:30. Since it's currently 6:55 EST, then he must be in central time or Pacific. So in either 2 hours or 3.

Well, I really do appreciate Panda wanting to do the final post right. I did the same during my comp. After all the work everyone (including you two) put in... you don't want to rush the results just to get them out a couple of hours earlier.

And who doesn't like a tank with a giant p*nis sticking out the front of it?!! The only thing that would have made it better would have been more "natural" coloring! Congrats ashotninja & Camkiehri! Well done boys!

Great job everyone... really spectacular models by one and all. An honor to compete with you.

@Selv... I shall my friend... I shall! I want to see that awesome dread of yours in some battle reports very soon!

@cormandepanda & Ruglud: Thanks for putting on a great competition & letting me participate. Loved the chance to have my model seen with all the other entries and it got my bot enough looks to get a real score. Really appreciate that.

I just decided to get on the scene a while back and I knew Arakasi had entered a few. He pointed me to the LoER and panda's competitions and the next thing I knew you did your one then Briancj and now graven. Plus I ran the Dakka Painting Challenge. It seems it's taking off and I think the only way to find out about them is to follow Dakka Blogs, the good thing about that is we get to keep it in Dakka.

The comp threads get updated alot eventually you just see it on the PM. I always link my threads so you have a nice chain to follow.
