QuoteWell done to all the winners! Excellent work all round.

I think this is an astute observation Federico - if you enter multiple items in a category you are likely to split the vote - I think this can be seen in the vehicle category where you had 3 of your entries score highly, which if those votes had all gone to a single entry you would have easily won! It can be hard, but if you can't pick between two entries, it is likely that the voters will have the same problem resulting in a spread of votes.

This is a difficult one to work out. With every voter having five votes in each category, if you only enter one model, you guarantee that four out of every five votes go to someone else! If you have five entries of pretty even quality, you may get all the votes. If everyone only had one vote, I think your analysis would be accurate, in the current situation, not so sure.

Assuming everybody uses all five votes in each category.  I didn't simply because the photos were too out of focus in some cases to make a judgement.  In some categories I voted only for the ones I could see, which I think was as little as two entries in at least one category.

Awesome work by all winners and most entrants for that matter.

@Leon - can you get one of the wargames mags to publish those winners in the same style they cover shows?  Should boost interest in the scale.

Wow - and thank you! Well done to everybody, what an amazing competition and so many superb entries of such a high quality. Having watched Alien back in the early 80s on an 8mm projector reel projecting onto a wall I must admit a real affection for Draconian's Xenos!
Happy to provide more pictures, @Leon, if that helps with Pendraken sales!

Yes Fred, this is definitely a wise consideration, but would a truck got all the votes of the non posted tank? Anyway I didn't really have a strategy here, I just got mad last summer in painting all my 10mm new toys and wanted to share them. Next year I'll be more focused, work on these results and craft a napoleonic general on a British truck carrying a jacobin alien.

I didn't think in these terms, you actually have a good point Mollinary. But again, the technique and the painting style is the same all over your personal entries, so maybe focusing on your best let's say 2 good works per category is adequate to show your achievements without the spam effect. (Not specifically "you", I'm talking in general).

Congrats to the winners! Some excellent work!

As to how many pieces you enter in each category....it's one, always enter one, no more, and make it damn good!

Already looking forward to next years comp. I'll be looking forward to competing with you all!

Congratulations to all who took part and especially those who were lucky enough to win. I had great plans for this year to put entries in the army, mounted and single figure categories but real life came crashing in. I thought the standard this year was higher still, with many entries possibly undone by photographic skills rather than painting. Many thanks to Leon for organising and providing the generous prizes 😁👍

Congratulations to all the winners.  As we have come to anticipate, we were spoiled with some very high quality workmanship, with some of the entries on display I was just amazed.

When I saw your blood bowl team I thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea and amazingly executed. I shared a link of your entry to all of my friends who were or still are Blood Bowl enthusiasts. Well done!

I fully agree with the sentiment, but anybody not from the UK and/or under 40 is going to get that reference.
