Hi

Games Workshop Japan "Grand Paint Contest 2011" results PDF appeared in their web site.
Grand Paint Contest is like...."golden demon" for us but more smaller version.
Anyway,Have a look!

Sadly,I think 2010 or more earlier contest were more bigger scale and better quality :(
May be because most official shops(AKA hobby center) in Japan were closed.

I did entry used to be...but not this time. Anyway,I have not paint GW models recently :p

Small news from small community.
But I wanted to be known

A space marine in a snowglobe? OK, I guess....

There is some good painting in there, although it's not to the Golden Demon standard, although that may be due in part to the lower standard photography.

Interesting to see, thanks for posting.

There are some good painting examples in there.


But, the human beings in those photos are honestly more interesting to ponder than the miniatures themselves.

Great stuff.

It looks like everyone put their heart into it.

yeah,
That was fun to look through, some good entries.
I really liked the death company blood angel, he almost looked like chaos!

Panic...

realy like the harry the hammer

Their were some really cool examples in their. The space wolf snow glob made me smile.
X3

PDF loads, but is blank...

Damn you internet gremlins!

I like the little diorama, including the one with Captain Titus slitting the throat of a Bloodletter with the back of his chainsword.

I'm glad to see these. Very nice to see people in Japan getting recognized for their figure painting, and I think some of these could stand toe-to-toe in GDs anywhere in the world (except France, because I think they bleed Devlan Mud over there.)

That poor little girl got a coffee cup as a prize...

They have some nice pictures there, to bad I can't read Tau.

Theres some awesome stuff in there!

Wargamers look the same no matter where they are.

Really nice. Loved Harry the hammer. The daemon prince stepping on the dreadnought and multi armed deformed daemon prince seemed really interesting. On that I also loved the dreadnought with slayed daemon piece and the lord of the rings scene with the ring wraiths. Really sweet stuff.

Great mini's too bad you only win a coffee cup GW is so chups!

Harry the Hammer looked like a copy of the one out of the recent 'Eavy Metal book.

Most of these are good, but there's a couple in here where the paint is a might choppy.

Also I think someone missed the point of a dreadnaught (the pilot is peeping out).

The Snow globe could make for a super real force field for a Librarian.
