I'd rather argue that the forum exists to promote wargaming, and that Pendraken host it in the understandable confidence that their product is good enough to be a winner if wargaming in general is.

QuoteThe winners each year have been outstanding efforts and I applaud each and every one of them but as Tiny says it would be nice to hear a bit more from them even if its to write an article on their entry - how they got inspiration, what methods they use and better still how they manage to photo their minis so beautifully...

Is this something people would like to see?

I'm not thinking to blow my own trumpet or anything but if people are interested I will do a write up and I'm sure Kev, BH62, Goat Major, Steamflunky et al would do the same. You can see the level of work involved - my pre 20th cent foot entry took approx. 35 hours.

Yes, I would like to see it!  :-bd

I also have a question for Kev. Should I do it here or start another topic?

Cheers!

P.D.: Congrats again, Matt!  =D>

Blimey, no wonder they look so good :o. But I would be interested to see how you go about painting them as others have said.

My tip would be to pay Kev or Matt to paint them for you   ;D
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Like Kev I'll try to do some painting notes and put some methodology down this weekend. I think Kev's approach is different to mine (I picked his brains after last years comp  ;)) so it would be good to demonstrate there are many ways to skin a cat.

If the kitten knocks over my phalangites once more, I may be testing that adage.
