Thanks. I like the different shades of grey for my DE.

Indeed, best of luck to all. Lots of good work up there.

@NerdFest - will we get our individual breakdown of score, or will there be just the winner announced? Having never done one of these before I was just curious.

No not 50 shades of grey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or is it hay??

Arrrrr Flinty! never having done a comp before myself I shall post up the 1st 2nd and 3rd place getters when voting is done no breakdown this time, everyone has done such good work they should all be winners in my book, but we'll see who come's out with the smoking bolter and foot resting upon their foes!

like they said in the Highlander "There can be only one!.......Golden Bathtub"

Next time, we should cast 3. A golden beauty, a silver fox, and that guy that just barely showed up to the party with messy hair and worthless metal but at least he made it and could say that in the end he did indeed make it to the party and did actually beat someone even if it was only one person!




Make sure you read that last sentence in one breath for the proper effect

I rather like that Idea, KC

Good luck everyone, these figs look great! I am excited to see all of the different styles, techniques and approaches to the painting. I am getting back into it and experimenting with my own style, looking forward to learning something from all of you.

Me too.


Oops, edit, didn't read to the end. And I think I missed the post about how the scoring works...

The suspense is killing me

It is ominously quiet. I wonder if the judging team have all been mysteriously killed by a wandering grot

All your pics are belong to us!

Nah, it takes more than a wandering grot to lay this Nob low. Now there's a sentence I never imagined myself saying...

Had one of those weeks myself ladies & gentlemen, and I apologise for the that impacting on the competition. It's my Mums birthday today, so that's a write off too (I just came on to apologise to everyone for the delay) though I will have them done tomorrow night / Saturday morning.

Note that I'm only able to commit my scores, and not those of the other judges. The process is that the scores will be sent to Our Glorious Leader, High Nerd of Down Under, once he's had the scores submitted Senór Nerdington shall then announce the winner.

I've not discussed this with the other judges, just thinking "on keyboard" here, though I guess that in the event of a tie we'll ask that one of the Dakka Mods give their own scores of the tied entries. If that Mod somehow manages to continue the tie, we shall shoot them with a giant jelly bean cannon and ask for another Mod to score, and so on.

Apologies again for the delay, not long to wait now folks!

Well, Ive been done and judged for days!...... also got votes from Gits too...... just waiting on the slowpoke Kitch to get his ass into gear lolz! then it's go, go, golden bathtub! :-)

Hey, that's discrimination against the fat and ugly I'll have you know

*Flashes her boobies at the Judges* ............

^ Wooooooooooo Yeahhhhhh!

C'mon now Kitch! Judge them pics! For us! IMBEINGTORNAPARTBYTHETENSION
