HQ Edition : AND THE WINNER IS.....

Howdy all.

It is taking me longer than expected to properly write up my critque and comment on each figure. Partly why is I want to provide good feedback to every contestant. I feel it is important to do so so everyone can take my thoughts and apply them to their future endeavors.

However, I know as a contestant how much it kills me to hear the judgement so here are my top 5.

Top honors go to

Best Overall : Wilku
HQ Edition : AND THE WINNER IS..... Final-10

HQ Edition : AND THE WINNER IS..... Final-10

Runner Up #1: Evil Space Elves

Runner Up #3:

Runner Up #4: Foeofnight

I want to thank everyone for their entries. I will continue to evaluate and critique each one.

Best overall now has a choice:

I will make for you one of the following selections:

1) 3 blown up vehicle markers made from bits I own and other materials. Please specify which vehicles you would like. Venom, Raider or Ravager. One of each or any combination of the 3, so longs as it is no more than 3.

2) Pain tokens. I will make 6 pain tokens for you.

3) 2 objective markers.

Some assembly make be required once you get them ( if they are too big, I will lose my shirt on the shipping, especially international shipping).

Please PM me with your choice, and your address. It make take me a few weeks to get everything done and in the mail.

As yet, none of these exist, so there are no pictures to chose from. But I will document my progress so you can see how they are developing.

Again, a huge thanks to everyone for participating. It has been a great time seeing all the entries and I look for ward to the next edition.

I wouldn't want GAR's job, I doubt if I could pick one of these over all others.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, to those who were short-listed, and especially to Wilku. Very nice effort mate, and a well-deserved first place! If you end up with an entire army that looks like that on the tabletop, it will truly be a beautiful thing.

Cheers.
