Wow its sad when people want to cheat.

Maybe he should have disguised the ethereal in some way .. a moustache, perhaps, or a hat at a jaunty angle?

Me and my friend knew we had seen that mini before! we had a feeling something was wrong

That would have been cunning- a pair of glasses would have made it look like someone else entirely!

Are you implying that minors should get away with such things, cus that sounds well... stupid.

Torches and pitchforks at LOW LOW prices!!!

First time for everything so you can even say he is doing a good job turning into an adult?

Theres only one legal way to teach this little bleeder a lesson - posts picture of "his" entry along with his name at his school/town and expose him as a warhammer hobbyist.

The social stigma alone should keep him on the straight and narrow and earn him a few wedgies/kickings from his peer group.

so stupid to cheat I wonder if he cheats in other things like LIFE!!!!!

But GW should ask back for the award. And I bet that is one happy silver guy! Way to go you got a Gold now!!

Very sad. I really can't imagine the point in having such a statue if you don't have it for something you achieved. Wouldn't it just make you feel so hollow inside to even look at it?

I think he is just trying to say that there may be legal issues with doing such a thing, not that doing it is unwarranted. Sometimes the laws don't follow what we think is right.

dispicable. I think this story (not pics of the kid, though, that's illegal) should be put in white dwarf, and the rightful 2nd and 3rd places notched up, and also the judges should judge a 3rd place.

No, the issue is using a photo without his permission breaks several laws in the UK concerning minors. We have this issue when kids are convicted of crimes by the courts. They can't be named or pictured.

Quick, someone forward this to the Sun, give it a day or two and his face will be all over the tabloids in the latest UK scandal.

Doubdfull, altho his face making contact with some caffeteria food may be warranted for this.

I think they should send someone to the address to attempt to pick the trophy up, and if they can't then let the local papers pick up the story so they are shamed into returning it to the rightful owner (2nd place.)

very sad, is a golden demon trophy really worth it? I mean, really, people will say, neat trophy, whats it from?

Oh that, I made my kid enter an ebay miniature into a national competition so I could cheat a bunch of kids out of it.

LOL

What should happen to the guy who cheated at Young Bloods?

1. Spank his bottom until it is red raw.
2. Burn his army.
3. Chop off his hands.
4. Out him at school as a 40K player
5. Exile to the Kuriles
6. Ban him from every shop, tournament and convention evar
7.Leave the sad feth alone, the topic is over.

8. Take away trophy and give to second place, then 7

oh if we are being cruel:

9. Allow him to paint nothing but the soon to be released Stormraven.

Too much?

We have laws about cruel and unusual punishment. That crossed the line.

Good effort......

If you want to really be cruel you'd make him build a Berserker heavy army using the 3.5 Chaos Space Marine codex so he can cry as his army hops out of their rhinos and chases land speeders they can never conceivably catch.

Locate his residency and sell him on the BLACK MARKET for cheating in a golden Demon competition. Its the only way to be sure






blood hungering hobbyists :L

Although I agree that it would be a good thing to do, just as I believe that all scallywags (young and old) should be put into public stocks so that people can pelt them with rotten fruit.

Old enough to cheat, old enough to be beaten!

that funny and true

Isn't a part of entering the contest a release for your miniatures' pic and as well as the "painter" in question. If so then GW owns the rights to the cheater's photos and can use it however they want. I don't know since I've not ever signed up for the GD.

Empchild, do you remember signing a release or waiver when you won Bronze?

Through him into a pit full of Rabie-infected Rotweilrs and pitbulls with no protection and smothered in sasuage grease...

Instead of screaming for blood here, what we should be screaming for is GW coming up with solutions on how to prevent this sort of thing in the future.

Screem for GW's Blood

While looking around the Internets for the Cheater, I came across this on the GW site.

That big white space feels good. I hope he knows we know he cheated.
