Hi Everyone

I volunteered to run the League Table mainly because I think its nice to know that what your doing is being recorded and you can see how you have progressed or have something to aim for.

Brief History of the Challenge

In March 2015 Paradigm started the unofficial monthly painting contest. It's goal was to get DakkaDakka members to paint up their miniatures for fun and gentle rivalry. The community that has grown around the challenge is supportive and always willing to answer any questions. Inspiration is drawn from each member and a feeling of enthusiasm is nurtured. So come and join us, everyone is welcome no matter the painting standard or end goal. Its a great way to hit painting targets and keep motivated.

The Challenge as been a great success and we are now in our 7th Year, still going strong.

How the Scoring Works

The League table shows the percentage of votes received each month for the participants. This is the points you get for that month (Note; Minimum is 1 and Dakka polls round up to whole numbers) Each months score is added up to make the overall score for that year.
Below is the League Table for Paradigm's unofficial painting challenge here on Dakka, it will be updated as we go.

League Table



Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame shows the top 3 entries for each month, I hope you enjoy these wonderful models.

March 2023 - Space Marine - Challenge 97

Spoiler:

What a way to start off a new year. 7 people packed into 3 spots on the podium.

In a 2-way tie for third, we have at 20 votes each:

Pariah Press - Human Renegades. New plastics is the classic style, right out of the RT rulebook.






Midget Gems - Knights Sanguine Assault Marines. Robed warriors on the hunt!


Followed by a three-way tie for second, 23 votes each.

Dante_Macabre – Chaplain. Tending to the faith of the chapter with zeal and an amazing paint job.





youwashock – Crimson Fist. Great conversion work melding the old and new, leading the way. Nice work from the new folks at the club. We all started somewhere, let them know they are doing great.


And a shot with the other Marines the club has painted. Sadly, the group is already losing interest. Have to see if it picks up again after spring break.


CancelledApocalypse - Raven Guard Infiltrator. Great clean black armor, For a master of stealth, quite outstanding.



And last but defiantly not least, a pair sharing first with 27 votes:
Perkustin – Apothecary. This medic is ready to tend to the wounded in style! Amazing work.


JoshInJapan – Oldhammer Marines. Legends from way back in the lead, classic minis from a more civilized time.







Congrats to all the winners and to everyone who participated. Amazing start to a new round, and looking forward to another amazing year painting alongside all of you!


April 2023 - Doomsday - Challenge 98

Spoiler:

Another packed podium. Having a lot of trouble choosing the form of your destruction out there. or y’all just really like to make me work here.

In 3rd place with 17 votes is Daia T'Nara with Sister Verity, bearer of the Domesday Book of Slaanesh (and Scientia, her pet lectern). Because reading is fundamental!






First of the two-way tie for second with 19 votes is:

JoshInJapan -- Dr. Johan and his Doomray. Mad science is the best science, and nothing says “Doom” like giant deathrays.







Although sometimes it’s best to go with the classic end of days, with armies from the Northern Wastes pouring down to crush all civilization, lead by XvArcanevX's Chaos Lord






And at 21 votes each, the winners three.

youwashock’s Apocalypse. Devoured by a giant monster is a fine way for the world to end.




But for a quick and easy Doom, all you need to do is "Push the Button” as shown by Midget Gems


Or tear the galaxy apart in an endless future of warfare with JamesY's Praetor of the Sons of Horus

--
As always, great work from everyone, especially those on the podium. So many amazing ways for the world to end. Keep up the good fight against the Pile of Shame in this month’s comp, Mistakes Were Made. (which may or may not end up resulting in more doom)


May 2023 - Mistakes were made - Challenge 99
Spoiler:

Make no mistake, that was an amazing month full of great entries. And it’s time for some winners.

Tied for 3rd with 21 votes each are...

Mr Nobody with his Downed Ork Pilot and friends. All orcs love a good fight, but I think he’d prefer to still be flying for this one!










Meanwhile, Captain Brown's Empty Imperial Outpost is quiet. too quiet. What happened here? Where are the brave defenders?







In second (with 23 votes) is Tabbybrook Mage from keezus. Who is entirely too cute to go dungeon delving. Who knows what lurks in the dark places of the world? This can only end badly...




READY FOR ADVENTURE!!!


Speaking of which, our first place winner with 25 votes by youwashock – Before and Beyond The Wall gives us a great example. I don’t know what this poor adventurer did getting past the wall, but I know she’s regretting a lot of her life choices right now. From fresh and ready to take on the world, to hiding in the dark. So many mistakes...






That wraps up our 99th competition. Thanks for painting along. Great work on the podium, and all the way down the line. Congrats to everyone!


June 2023 - Centennial - Challenge 100
Spoiler:

Not the most packed podium we’ve had, but up there. Very fitting for the big centennial.

So let’s start off with the four-way tie for 3rd, with 27 votes a pop.

JoshInJapan - The Paradigm of Corruption – “Paradigm”
Truly the pinnacle of a warrior of chaos!







feltmonkey - Varag Ghoul-Chewer – “Paragon/Celebration”
If you could boil Blood Bowl down to one mini, this would be it. Mean, Green, and charging down the field.







Midget Gems - Looted Knight “Rise of the Machines”
Delivering from the mekshop once again with another amazing orky kitbash.

Bonus group Pic

Tyranid Horde - Imperial Navy - "Catch Me If You Can"
Contrasting with the brutality of the knight, are some crisp Navy fighters.




Moving up to silver, with a two way tie at 30 votes each:

Captain Brown - Eldar Falcon
A more elegant tank from a more civilized time...







Ezki - Canoness Veridyan - "Paradigm"
Stepping straight of the 2nd ed SoB codex cover:


And taking the top spot, with 33 votes:
Mothsniper – Blackstone Heroes - “Centennial”
Amazing collection of uniquely painted characters






--
And that’s a wrap on the big 100. Thank you all for joining us for this milestone. It would not have happened without the dedicated community. individuals have drifted in and out, but collectively we have kept this rolling along, month after month. Thousands of minis have been painted, many new skills learned, and many painters encouraged. Congrats not only to the winners, but to everyone who participated, this month and all the months before. Amazing work from everyone!


July 2023 - Renewal - Challenge 101
Spoiler:

In 3rd, with a motley assortment of gobbos and 20 votes, Olthannon - The Coven of Moulders.






With 2 more votes at second, ms07b3’s culltists.










And just a vote ahead each, a tie for first!

Mothsniper’s old school Malachite Slayers:







And the armored might of revolution, Midget Gems' Grot Tanks

--
As always, fun month and great work from everyone. Congrats to the winners, and everyone who joined the battle victorious against the Pile of Shame.


August 2023 - Some Like it Hot! - Challenge 102
Spoiler:

In third with 19 votes, a lovely display of blue flames and heat stressed metal, youwashock's Fire Elemental:






Burning his way into second place with 21 votes, JoshInJapan's Burning Men are covered in flames







And taking top spot this month with 24 votes, Mothsniper's Blackstone Fortress Zealot. Bringing the heat to purge the galaxy with holy flames.



Congrats to the winners and everyone who participated. This was a fun topic, with a lot of different interpretations. And fire. This feels like the first time in a while there were not multiple people sharing spots on the podium. But it was a knife-fight at the top, and a vote or two either way on a lot of entries would have changed that. Amazing works as always.


September 2023 - Sun's Out, Guns out - Challenge 103
Spoiler:

In 3rd, with 19 votes is youwashock's Leviathan Dreadnought. Bringing the firepower that only a relic dreadnought can, storming it’s way to the bronze!





In a fight too close to call for second (tied at 21 votes each), we have the large guns (both scale and size!) of XvArcanevX's Berserker vs....






...Mr Nobody’s Morkanaut. Bringing the cunning brutality the orks are known for.




And taking the top spot with 23 votes is JoshInJapan's Ogre Chieftains. Hail to the chief!








October 2023 - Halloween Special - Challenge 104
Spoiler:

In 3rd place, with some classic metal clowns and 21 votes, Captain Brown's Harlequins.







23 votes and 2nd place, continuing the classic horrors from the past, Heinrich Kemmler by Ezki:




And perched upon the top of the contest, with 26 votes, Youwashock's Gwenom




--
October is always a fun month. Such a wide range of fun and spooky entries. Congrats to the winners, and everyone who got something painted!


November 2023 - Wrecking Ball - Challenge 105
Spoiler:

That should wrap up the 5 days for votes, onto the results!

In 3rd, with a 22 votes and a pair of fungus-fueled engines of destruction is Maharg’s Night Goblin Fanatics:




Swinging in with just one more vote is Midget Gems' Ork Wrecking Ball w/ Morky Cyrus:

Bonus Pic


But the gold this month goes to Ezki's Karlach with 30 votes. Wielding a battleaxe instead of a more literal wrecking ball, she is still an exquisite engine of destruction!



Congrats to the winners and everyone who entered. As always, amazing work from everyone this month. Lots of fun variations on the theme, painted well. Personal thanks for those who voted for me; my entry got up to tied for 4th, closest to the podium I’ve been in a while.


Demember 2023 - Open Round - Challenge 106
Spoiler:

In third with 23 votes, some fuzzy adventurers ready to go out into the world from Maharg.







Jinkies! Looks like Velma lost her glasses again. Probably left them with the rest of her clothes... Second place goes to youwashock with 26 votes.







And with 27 votes, CancelledApocalypse takes gold in the open round with Anand Starfall, Queen of the Exodites.







As always, amazing work from everyone involved. Great collection of stuff to gaze upon. Grats to the winners, and to everyone who participated. Real high standard this month form all who entered.


January 2024 - From the Shadows - Challenge 107
Spoiler:

Shambling into third with 25 votes are XvArcanevX's Zombies. Lovely assortment of the living dead stepping out of the darkness.






CancelledApocalypse takes the silver with one more vote and Captain Korvin Kylo and Kelsya Darkeye. Each with a different approach to stealthy warfare, but both beautifully effective.


And in first is Ezki at 29 votes with Shadowheart. An amazingly executed model of our favorite devotee of Shar.

And taking the win this month, General Annoyance with an Ork Painboy!







December 2017 - Open Round - Challenge 34

In third place, Midget Gems' Grot Carol Choir.



In second, n1ceguypaul's Santa Dwarf!






And taking the win by a significant margin, Modock's beautiful Emerald Dragon:









January 2018 - A Few Good Men - Challenge 35


Taking third place this month, Moolet's super-crisp Blood Angels Intercessors. Certainly a few good men to have on your side in a firefight!


Taking second, Modock's fantastic adventuring party. Fine fellows to take questing!







And out ahead, Feltmonkey's pirates! They're almost certainly not 'good' (morally speaking! The paintwork is of course great!) and only one of them's a man, but they're still a fearsome crew you wouldn't want to mess with!







February 2018 - Carry a Big Stick - Challenge 36

Taking third, and setting what might be a record of 9 podium finishes in a single rotation of the challenge, Modock's Dragon-slaying Dwarf!








In second, Feltmonkey with a Sylvaneth Treelord that shows of some superb use of colour and texture.







And taking the win by a very large margin, Keezus with the imposing figure of Mister Graves.





Original Post
No worries, Its interesting to do.

And at the half way point for the year
Congrats Modock for the number 1 spot, you have been entering some consistently good models
The next 7 places are all very close (within 9 points of each other) Feltmonkey has jumped into 2nd with Zobo and Bottle climbing the ranks too.

Well done to Modock, Feltmonkey, Chris56, Paradigm, Keezus, N1ceguypaul, Nevelon and Vejut. Who have all managed to enter all the challenges so far in this year.

A Special Congrats to Zerg whos made the 24 entries mark, I'm very glad to have you and your entries with us for over 2 years now

Hopefully I'll get round to doing the "Archive" section this month.

Ta for the update, Midget!

1 point outside the top 5 (which admittedly is waaay more than I probably deserve)... Something to fight for in the remaining months!

And special congratulations at this stage to Modock, the lead you've pulled out over the rest of the pack this year is frankly astonishing! 70 points total and only 2 entries that didn't make the top 3, with every month thus far entered... Inspirational and impressive stuff.

You keep this community together. All praises to you.

Hah! My cunning strategy of just showing up has me ranked above far better painters! Victory through perseverance! Now all I need is Para to miss a month to be the undisputed king of stubbornness. Of course, he just needs 5 minutes or so to bang out a top-notch mini, so this is unlikely to happen; any faster and his proof pictures and finals would cause a time paradox.

Fun to see the numbers and the entries all in one place.

Well I got to get it finished first

I'm sure you will come up with something just as good (you have been so far )

Yeah you are doing well Nev, beating the 1 entry winners now, your Mannfred Von Carnstein in June seems to have been the most popular so far and rightly so, a very good entry

I'm just glad you guys are looking at and using the table, makes the effort worthwhile, although I always notice I've done something wrong after I post the pics up. Like this month all the bold numbers have gone and 3rd - 4th are the wrong way around (I'll make any tied places for points joint at the end of the year) I keep meaning to do the archive section but never get around to it, it means going back through every challenge to get all the info which I need to be in the mood for.

I can help a little with the legwork. I just sifted through all of Paradigm’s posts in the painting section (76 pages worth!) to get links for all the competition threads. Poll/Competition/Vote for each month. Plus a few affiliated threads.

Bloody hell Nev! That's some productive stalking! Cheers for the legwork!

Quite a blast from the past to look back at that first thread... Waiting for 5 people to see if there was enough interest, and this year we have 74 people in the League so far with a couple more this month!

Also something very inspirational there, Nev saying that he might struggle to get an entry complete inside a month... And here he is now, 33 entries for 33 round if I'm remembering rightly! If that's not a testament to the community we've built up around these challenges, and the productive spirit that's created, I don't know what is! Congratulations mate, you're the poster boy of this whole shebang!

And you were worried about being able to participate in your own contest.

In my defense, I was worried about having to go from sprue to finished in a month. Which I can do if the stars align at the right time of year. But is generally quite rare. The fact that I’ve made them all speaks to the open interpretation allowed on the topics (some I’ve had to stretch a bit) and my squirrel/packrat nature of keeping the primed and ready to paint pile full. Although for some entries I had to dig deep into old, forgotten boxes for something to paint.

As always, it’s a joy to participate in these. Lots of fun, and it helps push my envelope as a painter, both in subjects and techniques.

In 3rd place Ezki’s Kreig are dug in onto the frozen objective as Kriegsmen are wont to do, putting firepower downrange.

Cypher Lords in spring
Securing the objective

queen_annes_revenge with Magistus Amon. QAR continues to deliver the quality this month, with a 1k sons’s sorcerer.

In a tie for third, with 29 votes, is DV8’s adorable little rat. So much detail packed into so little space.

DV8 - Skaven (scale)


Sharing the bronze, but no less impressive, is Paradigm’s Vampire Lord. Even with a limited palette, the vampire comes alive (un-alive?) and the stained glass is a bonus experiment.
Paradigm -- Vampire Lord (Limited palette, also stained glass)


With just one vote above on the next podium is Modock’s Allison. One of the painters not only experimenting with oils this month, but with a larger scale. Looks like he’s been doing this every day.
Modock - Allison (Scale/Oils)


In contrast to the ultra-smooth blends of Modock’s oils, QAR went for a more visible artist’s style of brushwork, and the effort paid off. A wizard at rest, sitting on the winner’s spot, enjoying a nice smoke.
queen_annes_revenge - Gandalf (New scale, brushwork)








Feburary 2020 - Showing Off! - Challenge 72
Spoiler:

Tie for 3rd, with 26 votes each.

First is queen_annes_revenge with a Kingdom Death Order Knight Pinup. Who needs armor when your cape has freehand like that?







Trust the squirrel. He knows the way to the podium.
DV8 -- Halfling Navigator


It’s hard to find words to describe the second place winner, besides “breathtaking” With 29 votes Modock’s Excelsy, female warrior.



First place should not be a surprise. Orcs are going to fight, they are going to win, and bigger is best. Amazing work here backs up that with paint and 31 votes. maxwin with Ghazghkull and Makari!








Original Response
Table and Archive section updated, thanks a lot Nev

I couldn't work out a better way of getting all the images in one thread, doing each month as a spoiler took up a lot of space and took away the focus from the current years challenge. I tired doing a spoiler within a spoiler but couldn't get it to work it seems to ignore the 2nd spoiler, unless I'm doing something wrong?

Woooo! My rubbish Ultramarine got me into the top 5!

Cheers for the work on the archive, it seems the Photobucketpocalyse has claimed a few entries but most are still there. Yeah, spoilers within spoilers don't work, it's fine how it is to be honest.

Not to be That Guy after all your hard work, but you listed Nov 17 as Armour Up, not Hold The Line.

Wow, thanks very much to Nevelon for compiling the challenge thread links for us. It'll save me some time come February or March when I do my yearly challenge recap in my P&M blog.

It's interesting to see how much everyone has improved since the first challenge. I've missed a handful of them, but I've entered most of them since it started, and it's good motivation for me to keep painting. I never get many votes, but I don't let that slow me down. It just means I'm in very good company as far as skills. This last challenge was my second best in terms of raw numbers of votes, falling 1 short of my best (in the BOOM! challenge).

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Welcome to Dakka!

That's certainly a suitable entry, when you're done could you please post it in this month's thread rather than the League Table thread here?

Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame shows the top 3 entries for each month, I hope you enjoy these wonderful models.

March 2021 - Space Marine - Challenge 73

Spoiler:

In tied 3rd place on 20 votes apiece, we have Chris56 with his Samurai-inspired Rising Suns Captain




And queen_annes_revenge with a World Eaters Terminator, suitably grim and grimy:







Five votes ahead on 25, Tyranid Horde takes second with a resplendent Lt Amulius:
url=https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1100356-Display%2C%20Dorn%2C%20Excoriators%2C%20Freehand%2C%20Imperial%20Fists%2C%20Last%20Wall%2C%20Non-Metallic%20Metal.html][/url]





And way out ahead on 31 votes, we have DV8's Master Of Sanctity. No resting on his laurels for last year's League winner, it seems, as this entry proves!



April 2021 - Traveling in Style - Challenge 74
We have a 6 way tie for 3rd, which I’m pretty sure is a record. 25 votes each

Spoiler:

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 74 times. After all these years I finally managed to eek out a podium spot, in a VERY tight race with an amazing group of painters. Glad you all like the Flyrant. There might be more like it emerging from the void...
Nevelon: Tyranid Hive Tyrant


Next with the bronze, and all sorts of other metals, are Tyranid Horde's metallic chainghasts. A unique take on these otherworldly spooks.
Tyranid Horde: Crawlocke The Jailor and Chainghasts







Few things travel in style like the swift and deadly Shining Spears. Captain Brown’s clean smooth whites and flapping banners earn a well deserved place here.
Captain Brown: Shining Spears







QAR continues to impress with Bane and the Tumbler.
queen_annes_revenge: Bane






But wait there’s more! Ezki’s Dark Eldar haemonculus is appropriately kitbashed from a variety of sources, ending up with a composite greater than the sum of it’s parts.
Ezki: Dark Elder Haemonculus


And last for the 6 way tie, but in no way the least, is Midget Gems’s looted piranha. Also bashed together, but not with dark fleshcraft, but just a bit of ork know-whats and some rivets.
Midget Gems: Looted Piranha


Traveling in style does not require wings, or wheels, or fancy vehicles. Sometimes it’s just a hoodie and an attitude. DV8’s amazing spider pair bring the style as they navigate the streets stopping crime and foiling plots. “With great power comes great paint jobs” or something like that. A well earned second place with 30 votes.
DV8: Miles Morales and Ghost Spider


And coming in first, with 35 votes, is Warpig’s amazing diorama. No surrender, just tenacity and amazing paintwork and weathering. Every aspect is full of detail, all executed superbly, tying the whole piece together in an excellent entry
Warpig1815: P-40C Tomahawk and Mk. IV Matilda








May 2021 - From Ages Past - Challenge 75
Spoiler:

Tied for 3rd with 20 vores apiece, we've got
Freya's wonderfully evoative Sith Lord






And Warpig1815 with Aristodemus The Spartan! Just 299 more to paint now, right?







In second, DV8 with the unlikely duo of She-Hulk and the TARDIS, giving a new meaning to the blue box's Hostile Action Displacement System (yes, that's a niche one for the Whovians out there... )


And finally, with an entry as creepy as it is retro, JoshinJapan takes the win with this striking Chaos Lord:







June 2021 - Boots on the Ground - Challenge 76
Spoiler:

In third place, Ezki's Incubi squad:


Taking second, DV8 with Radukar The Beast:


And taking the win, a pair of Dwarves from queen_annes_revenge:







July 2021 - Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself - Challenge 77
Spoiler:

In third place on 29 votes, my own Yndrasta! Thanks everyone!


Sharing third, the ever-excellent queen_annes_revenge with menacing Batman villain Black Mask and a Night Lords Praetor:







And DV8's master of illusion, Mysterio:


And taking the win on 34 votes, Ezki with the utter classic that is the Beholder:


Thanks to everyone who left feedback and voted, see you all next month!


August 2021 - Rebel Scum - Challenge 78
Spoiler:

In third, with 20 votes, Paradigm with some grim Orcs looking to cause some trouble:



There is a time to rise up against the frozen lich oppressing the realm, and a time to go do some side quests to level up a bit more. A pair of adventurers makes the right choice in skipping our second place entry:
ms07b3 - "Let us skip this boss"









And a 3-way tie for first (because y’all want me to do all the extra work here) with 27 votes each.
Freya's Revan, with excellent attention on the lighting:






DV8 with Hjarnan the Tall with his faithful companion, Dog. Packed full of details and amazing work.


Tyranid Horde, standing tall with Wraithseer Baralon Whisperwind rounds out the top spot.





As always, amazing work from everyone who participated. Congrats all around, with extra helpings for the podium finishers!


September 2021 - Heavy Metal - Challenge 79
Spoiler:


A tie for third, with 22 votes each.
First up is the_balloon_dog's Agwe, Petro Loa of the Mortifactors. Winning the bike race over the other biker lords, he cruises to a bronze.





But shares that spot with ms07b3’s Sister of Battle, purging the heretics on a scale not normally seen!





Edging them out by one vote (And in the process knocking the two painters with 20 votes each from sharing bronze while he shared silver) is JoshInJapan’s classic Chaos Warriors. Heavy Metal in the literal sense, he’s done a great job bringing these classics to life.







And in first place, living up to the hype of the proof picture, is Freya's Dakkasaurus Rex. It’s over the top crazy, covered in guns and armor. King of the Dakka Lizards.






Thank you once again to all the participants. We have a wonderful community here, and it’s great painting with all of you every month. It’s never too late to enter, so break out the spooks, scares, and trick or treats for October if you haven’t already!


October 2021 - Halloween Special - Challenge 80
Spoiler:

In third, with an impressive Deamonhunter and 33 votes, is Freya:






Second place is just a couple of votes more. From the statuesque to the tiny, we go from the demonhunter to DV8’s Baby Yoda. Who is cute enough to warrant tossing a full sized candy bar into that bucket!


And taking the gold with 38 votes is sigismund22’s Halloween Special Judiciar. This model had been modified in the most heretically awesome way to bring it into the holiday spirit, and painted to match. Better give this guy treats if he comes knocking, the giant sword lets you know what kind of trick you would be in for!





November 2021 - Catch Me If You Can - Challenge 81
Spoiler:

In 3rd, Captain Brown’s Farseer Wearing Faolchu's Wing with 20 votes. Classic metal with a vibrant paintjob. Well done!







Continuing the theme of classic lead is Glam the Wardancer by JoshInJapan. Amazing work on the swords and stripy pants got you the silver this month.





Sharing second place are some amazing entries from Ezki’s mekshop. A pair of ork racers zooming to the finish in a belch of smoke, rust and dakka!


And squeaking out the win by a single vote is DV8’s Starlord. Smooth colors and the attention to detail that we’ve grown to expect, another amazing piece of work here.



Demember 2021 - Open Round - Challenge 82
Spoiler:

Coming in third with 18 votes is Mr. Nobody’s Death Rider of Krieg. Lovely smooth clean colors. You can tell he’s in charge, as he doesn’t have mud all over him!


Second place goes to a classic car, mekshop style. It’s rusted and ramshakle, but pulls in to win the silver. Ezki's Kustom Boosta Blasta!


And a suitably icy win for this mid-winter’s contest, Freya’s Wold lord!







January 2022 - Force of Nature - Challenge 83
Spoiler:

In third place, Captain Brown's Elder Warlock:







In second, queen_annes_revenge with Gandalf and Pippin on Shadofax:







And tied for first place, Freya's dragon:






and DV8's Beast:



Febuary 2022 - Age Before Beauty - Challenge 84
Spoiler:

In third place, DV8's Emperor's Champion:


And in second, just a vote ahead, JoshinJapan with a screaming squad of old-school Eldar, and the highest-scoring in the cavalcade of Howling Banshees:







And taking the win, queen_annes_revenge with a warrior from Numenor and a venerable Dwarf brewer:







Well done, everyone!

End of Year 3 Summary

End of Year League Table
Spoiler:




A huge congratulations to everyone that took part and voted in any month of this years challenge. The points are for fun but here is a rundown of the year.

The top 10 positions for this year are:

1st - Modock with 106 points
2nd - Feltmonkey with 86 points
3rd - Midget Gems with 74 points
4th - Chris56 with 71 points
5th - Moolet with 63 points
6th - Paradigm with 62 points
7th - ZoBo with 58 points
8th - Keezus with 54 points
9th - n1ceguypaul with 45 points
10th - Bottle with 37 points

A very well deserved win Modock, your painting really is something some of us can only dream of. It's been brilliant fun watching your creations take shape and how skilfully you change the tone of a colour.
Feltmonkey did really well to keep up and in doing so has created some masterful work (story about his son wanting to hold the treeman is the best though )
And a great battle between myself and Chris56 for 3rd/4th I really thought you were going to catch me at the end. Thank you for making me up my game with some of my entries knowing you where right there behind me.

The main point of the challenge is to get people painting, a set of people managed to submit finished entries for each challenge or most months. A big well done goes to:

Chris56 - 12 Entries
Feltmonkey - 12 Entries
Keezus - 12 Entries
Midget Gems - 12 Entries
Modock - 12 Entries
Nevelon - 12 Entries
Paradigm - 12 Entries
Vejut - 12 Entries
Mootlet - 11 Entries
n1ceguypaul - 11 Entries
u971 - 10 Entries
GulGog TufToof - 9 Entries
Zobo - 9 Entries
ZergSmasher - 9 Entries

Special mention for Para and Nev who have entered every challenge across all years meaning 36 challenges in a row.

The Stats
We had a total of 356 entries by 95 different people averaging 30 entries a month.

We had a total of 5302 votes averaging 441 votes a month.

Highest number of entries was March's "Space Marine" challenge with 38 entries.

Highest votes in 1 month was November's " Hold The Line!" challenge with 688 votes cast.

Highest votes for an entry was also in November's " Hold The Line!" challenge, 61 votes for General Annoyance.

Highest percentage of the vote was in August's challenge "Brutal" for Modock with 14% of the vote.

One hit wonder was Tittlemanscrest who won June's "Legendary" challenge with his only entry of the year.

Modock managed to place in 9 of the 12 months top 3 positions

Modock, Midget Gems and Zobo each won 2 months.

And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

Original Post

Good luck with your Target Jadenim

I've done an update for the new year and also cleaned up the 1st post by moving the archives to separate posts it was getting a bit messy.

Any issues let me know and good luck for year 5 (wow)

So I got into the top twenty again

16th I think is an improvement over last year (although Midget Gems, do you have a shot of the table as it finished in 2019?]

I managed to complete every month, which was my big target for the year

I didn’t manage to beat Nevelon [shakes old man fist]. Next time Gadget, next time!

So a solid performance, but does feel like I’ve plateaued this year a bit; I’ve appreciated the individual comments on entries, but does anyone have any “meta” advice for how I could improve in general?
