More interesting social media interaction from GW. They now have a gallery page on their website using images from Instagram with the hashtag #PaintingWarhammer
I'm sure we'll see many Dakka-ites in there somewhere so congrats if your stuff shows up .

Hopefully this will lead to what GW had back years ago, and have hobby sections as well. I really miss them. One of the reasons why I never bought so much as I did. Taking away less motivation means less motivation to buy.

Hopefully this will lead to new better things or old good things back.

yeah,
That's cool.
Always good to see people's hobby

Panic...

Anyone else notice that this seems to have stopped updating with new pics?

That's a good initiative. Always cool to see original paintjobs

I'll have to make an instagram account to upload some of my wolves =D

Makes me wish I was even half-way decent at painting..

If they expand to fan art then I'll be set, though!

They won't. After all, a lot of the fan art is even better than what GW is putting in their books.

I'm assuming they were smart enough to have a manual adding step, to avoid people just using the hashtag to make it onto the site. They won't want to allow anything that isn't 100% citadel. I'm curious if they'd even allow something that had, say, a vallejo paint in the background.

They ask permission in the photo comments and give a link to the legalese. I would assume this is to build a pool of possible images to rotate through in case there's a drought. I've had about 4 photos they've requested to use but I don't see them in the gallery.

@Davor, Haha, they don't have to worry about my sketches as competition.

I think it'd still be a good idea as it encourages the community, gives some nice inspirations and shows GW potential artists they can hire.
