Results are coming in now, and the sword went to the excellent Giant dio apparently. (by Matt Parkes)

Some typically naff early shots are up now on the GW site.

Yeah, most of the pics really really don't do the minis justice at all.

That said, I fell in love with this:

That's the best looking diorama they have up right now.

fething sweet.

That diorama is exceptional from concept to execution. 2 thumbs up!

When can we expect some decent pics?

GW tend to take a while whip off the winners for better pics in the studio. Could be days tbh.

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!

Aye that was a really clever entry, we all know they constantly battle, but it's a snapshot from those moments you know would happen, but theres little point in GW referencing.

Lovely piece.

Got some more unconfirmed winners coming in now. I'll post up when I know more than just names...

The guard dio looks great , my favourite pic on the site , i do hope though that some more pics of other figures get posted as some entries i expected to be there aren't( sons of orar)

Yeah, there's a few cat's that don't seem have have bugger all photos up so far!

Black Claw -No offence meant to Chris (Sons of Orar), but I know there are plenty of even more awesome minis there on the day that didn't get piccys taken either. :(

Orki , i'm not denying that from what ive been told , i just hoped to see him to do well, and its a real shame that more minis didn't get pics taken.

Yeah, it is I agree. I was just stating the obv it seems.

That is probably the coolest mini diorama I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible. I'd love to see some third-party blog with more pics of it.

I laughed so hard at that diorama when I first opened this page. Just really brilliant stuff, the vibe it gives off is awesome.

It was a great day, but i was expecting diffrent end results in the GD, that said the winners were fantastic i just really liked that undead dragon hehe!

The winners of GD were good, but there were vastly more deserving winners imho. There was a blood angel/tyrannid one which was amazing and didn't place. And this awsome slannesh/krootox grey style conversion which didn't place. The winners were fantastic paint jobs, but most of the themes were boring.

Liffy (Mark Lifton) got bronze in Duel and LOTR. (Emp vs Skaven, and Arwen).

Sue Rigby - Bronze regiment.

Steve buddle -2 Silvers (?)

As ussual hard to see quality with these such poor pictures, but for me the highlights are Beer duel the Imperial guard dio ( they dont know that sitting on a dead carnifex will glue a bug pheromone frenzy on their butts) and the cool spacehulk piece

I'm glad there's lots of comments regarding picture quality, It looks like they've been taken with a camera phone. That IG diorama is plogged on warseer.

Chris Clayton - Gold WH Monster (River Troll).

I do love that Dwarven drinking duel too. Another great idea,

With the camera rig that they had set up to take these photos it boggles my mind how utterly crap they appear to be on GW.com. The pictures are taken on some super high end equipment but they have been compressed to buggery for the website. A real shame.

The sword did indeed go to Parks, and well deserved, the diorama was brilliant

Awesome concept.

I always thought Carnifexes were just brute beasts, yet here is one being totally ninja and blending in with the environment. Maybe it is a new stealth Carnifex or something.









Just joking!

I see the dreadnought commission done on a thread around here has made it to the page of "40K vehicles". It's the blue one with the rocky pattern on it.

Dreadful quality on the photos though, I assume it's done deliberately to stop people re-using the images elsewhere.

^^ Winterdynes UM commission dread I believe.

Certainly were some grate entries, all the ones I picked as my personal favourites didn't place . I need some pictures of the diorama that took the sword just couldn't get any where near the diorama cabinets all day.

That's pretty cool, fairly intrested in the Eldar autarch on that frickin sweet vyper jetbike. Can anyone post that here in full picture, as the GW site isnt displaying it corretly for me.

Got to say that the idea is one of the best but that the painting quality is very average
Personally I dont think this is GD deamon material.
