Pendraken Painting Competition 2025!

[mollinary]

Good luck to everyone. I had planned to paint some of my new Vikings for the competition, but, sadly, the real world got in the way!

Hope all is okay Mollinary.

Yes, sorry if my post implied something sinister! Just my personal incompetence, I am afraid!

First time I've ever voted in a painting competition, that was harder than I thought! Some impressive work out there.

Definitely took some time to review all the entries and select the top 5 in each category.  Good luck to all who entered!

Good luck everyone.

My entry (single base) is not a duel;; I don't know where the label came from. It's some poor malefactor running the gauntlet (being beaten by all the officers).

Amazing entries by everyone! Voting was harder than I thought..

[DecemDave]

Can I have as many votes as entries next time please?  This was HARD and I had to keep reminding myself to vote on the painting not on "do I want this".  Amazing work by all but the AWI entries in particular would not be bad painting if we were looking at 28mm scale.

Thankfully each of our votes are of equal weight.  If I'd had to rank my votes in order, I think I'd still be trying to make up my mind.

Voting was hard, some really good entries. 

Can't decide if picking 5 is easier or harder than picking 3. 3 would mean more decision making, 5 means trying to remember which names you like vs ones further down the list, when you come back to vote 

Leon, one suggestion for future years I think that the number of votes available to be cast, should be no more than half the entries in that category- eg if there are just 7 entries then give people 3 votes in that category not 5.
