Well, thanks again everyone now i'm keen to plan the next one! so, any ideas or thoughts i'd love to hear from you, anything we can do differently? ideas for themes etc? should it be yearly or bi yearly?

and I also want to offer my heartfelt thanks to the other judges who helped me through hosting my first comp Gits (the voice of reason) Vel'cona (the exhuberant youth) Kitch (well, nothing really can explain Kitch.. ) I really appreciate you all taking the time to wade through the 21 entrants and spend your own time with the rather lengthy voting process! it did seem to work very well and the results being so close attested to that if any of you are willing and able (if you didn't go insane) to judge again or not let me know

I am taking young Mr Gitsplitta's advice and i'm posting up the judging criteria so you can see how many points etc. and what we had to decide upon for each mini

Build: (out of 100)
- Quality of build (i.e neatness) - 20 points
-Adherence to theme - 20 points
-Conversion/kitbashing - 30 points
-Pose of mini - 30 points

Painting: (out of 100)
-Neatness - 25 points
-Advanced techniques - 25 points
-Overall effect - 50 points

Basing: (out of 50)
-Theme/Appropriateness to mini - 10 points
-Build/ Customization - 10 points
-Painting - 10 points
-Effect with figure - 20 points

Overall impression: How pleasing finished mini is to the eye (out of 50)

And that's it we gave points to each section and then added them up to give a total from 300, then i added each score together for every mini and that's how we found our winner!

I like that judging system. Would it be possible to show the score for each entry? I suppose it'd work as feed back for nearly everyone, see where they can improve for the next time.

Hmmmm sorry guys and gals! I chucked the results after I posted them and really the only thing i can suggest where a few fell short was basing, didn't need to be elaborate but good colour contrast could help next time? and i do expect you all to enter next time!

any more ideas for next time?

Not to chuck out the results.

I think it went well enough, can't really think of anyway it could change.

If anyone is interested, I'd be willing to discuss my opinion of your entry via PM. I don't want to get into numbers because out of context I don't think there's much to be gained there, but I'd be happy to discuss the strong and weak points of your entry & give suggestions for improvement.

PM only please... I won't respond to posts on the blog.

Can I ask where the lion shoulder pad for the termi came from? It looks like the one astral claws have on forgeworld but converted. Btw it is awesome .

All I can say about painting is that VMC tastes much better than VMA... especially black...
