Zergsmasher I really like what you did with your entry. I can't talk about quality of finish because I am nowhere near as good as everyone else. I've improved a lot (I think) this year, it takes time.

I've been funing this last two weeks, life took a bizarre sideways turn and my 98% finished entry (which I think is the best I've done all year) didn't get finished or entered!! I had even finished one of the models!!!!

Enough of me whining Congratulations to everyone on some great entries, I'm not jealous at all

And it's time for the last winners of this first year to be announced!

In third place, lechine's Knight Atrapos:












In second place, Nordicus's Slaughterbrute:



And in first place, tittlemancrest's Stormcast Eternal:








Congratulations to everyone who took part, nice to see some excellent entries and score from entrants both new and old! Thus concludes the first year of Unofficial Painting Challenges here on Dakka, on to year two!

Congrats to the winners, very well deserved!

Great job folks! Really solid month of painting.

Mucho congrats to this month's winners and to all who entered. Once again some rocking entries. Big thx to Para for starting an keeping this awesome comp going. A year already.....maddness!!!!!!! Here's to another year of fantastic painting

Great work guys, 3 top notch entries

Thank you very much to everyone that cast a vote of the plucky Snotling

I think there's also a special shout out to kb_lock for starting, hating and finishing Trevor

Congrats to everyone that manged all 12 challenges a real achievement

I can only assume i got a ton of sympathy and hilarity votes to score so well, such a relief finishing that bugger though. He'll be in the post back to bc soon to ruin their life instead.

Thanks Paradigm for organising the challenge. I think we all really appreciate the effort put in. Beautiful entries and I wish I could have voted for more than 5.

Well done guys!!! On to the next challenge

Hot damn, a top 3 entry? I'm humbled - Thanks a lot for all the votes! Some truly talented people on here, so it's a hard debut to live op to!

I look forward to participating in the coming months

It's really nice to see a month where every entry got a fair fistful of votes.

And if I can point you towards http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/646010.page#8508011. The year's results are in!!!

Thanks for all the votes and nice comments. There was some pretty stiff competition out there, and I think I got a little lucky. The margins were tight, 3-4 votes separating the top three. Can't wait to see what happens next month, hopefully work will slow down so I can finish something for it! No matter what I'll be watching and casting a vote.

Good job everybody!
