Thanks to everyone who entered the 2018 Pendraken Painting Competition, we've seen a fantastic standard of painting this year and we've thoroughly enjoyed watching the entries come in.  I hope you all enjoyed in as much as we did!

In a change to the format this year, the voting has been entirely in the hands of our members and has been open for the past week.  Every member had 3 votes to cast in each category, so let's see how they judged it...

Just about everyone I voted for there won, so can't complain about any of those verdicts. Congrats to the winners, that was by far the hardest competition to judge so far. Best Army could easily have had at least half a dozen entries at the top.
