Vote time!

This month the topic was: Weathered - Rust and Dust! Mud and Blood! We want to see the dirtiest, nastiest model put on a base. Practice those weathering skills. None of that parade ground clean, spit and polish stuff. Revel in the filth, play in the dirt, show some wear, tear, and decay.

As always, you're free to hand out as many votes as you like, and for any entry you feel deserves recognition, based on anything from technical proficiency or model choice, a neat conversion or a cool take on the theme, or anything else! You're also very welcome to leave some feedback here for the entrants, and many of the images click through to the Dakka gallery if you'd like to give out a vote or two there as well.

How am I suppose to limit my votes when they're all so damned good?! Some of you need to put a little less effort into this.

Ask yourself: have you rated a gallery image today?

More than once, I have ended up giving everyone (except myself, of course) a vote.

Less effort? I put as much as I can into my entries and they still end up mostly as also-rans in the voting! I've only been within spitting distance of the podium a tiny handful of times. Clearly I need to find a way to put more effort into mine.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

Time for the winners.

In 3rd with 21 votes is Daia T’Nara's Plague Marine, covered in eons of grime and germs






Charging across the pitch in battered armor is Maharg's Orc Bloodbowl Player and 23 votes









And the catch of the day is halfling84’s Abandoned Fishing Boat at 25 votes for the gold. Lovely realistic wear and tear on that boat!

More then normal (if that’s even possible) amazing work from everyone! Fantastic month all around with a very high level of work for everyone. Congrats to the winners, but everyone should be proud of what they did this month. Just great work, all the way down the list.

Edit: Also updated the index thread, which was a bit behind.
