Most of the artists have much better ones up on thier blogs and respective forums if you know where they reside.

I must say that the IG dio is awesome. A simply brilliant idea!

^ errrm... days? The photo day is in April! I managed a silver, honestly thought there were betetr entries more deserving, but hey, what do I know??!!! and totally agree with the photo comments, I have some better photos, that WERE TAKEN WITH MY CAMERA PHONE! sadly the bateries flat and my charger isn't with me but will post more photos on my p&m blog. Well done to all the winenrs and comiserations to those who didn't make it. If anyone does have better photos please post them!

Yeah sorry. That was badly worded on my part. I meant that it could be days before they whip off the RAW pics of the winners to the studio for some better editing, beyond ramming the contrast through the roof and compressing them to buggery in rush.

If at all that is...

This pic is crap quality sorry, but I will show it because I reckon the composition is better from the front.

ahem...

What does this nice looking Fulgrim model have to do with anything?

The guard diorama is awesome, great feeling of 'soldier-cameradery'. I went away with Bronze for my Skaven Clanrat in the Youngbloods category. I am Liam Heatherson. For any tips/questions/pics, then go on down to liam.heatherson@sky.com or PM me!

@ Peatreed congratulations!
Do you have a photo you can share? GW are taking they're time getting photos up of the winners

Wasn't this (without current paintjob) in a WD or the website a few months ago?

I think it was - wasn't it red then?

yea, the guy that made it didnt get to enter last year, so redid it, this one is more detailed, iirc, the other didnt have the gatling gun.

Here are some pics, though I took these without the display base. U are right about GW takoing there time, although they said they'd have an article of the GD winners up later this week (Thursday sounds hopeful)!

I would only rate it worth if it transformed... the colour theory is terrible.

This seems like an odd entry. Im not sure whats exactly going on with it. Is that a space wolf fighting a dark elf or lidda the rouge from 3rd ed dnd?

When they had an image of it rotating on the giant screens, I thought it was a 13th company fighting off a daemonette, by grabbing their foot.

@Waaagh_Gonads It's by Fil Dunn, it was originally going to be entered last year, but his wife gave birth shortly before the event, so he re-painted/assembled it, and entered it this year.

@Avatar Form Could you please explain to me in what way the colour theory is terrible?
