There were some fantastic entries over the course of the weekend and I have to say some people really brought it.
Our own Drake Seta had some great minis entered and won finalist pins for both his vindicator and breacher squads.
Surprisingly no pin for his amazing Garro entry which even a lot of people at the event commented wondering why.
However the winners were well deserved and the level of painting was exceptional.
Here's a quick preview of his entries:
Pre-Heresy Death Guard Garro:
Death Guard Vindicator:
Death Guard breacher squad:
Here is a breakdown of the Top Entries in each category:
So finally here we are:
Some fantastic work on showcase. The HH models do lend themselves as projects for painters. I'm very glad I didn't embarrass myself by entering lol
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised drake didn't get anything at all.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame.
But congrats to the winners though.
i think the golden Deamons were very much a golden Deamons. I don't think all the winners, while well painted, screamed Horus Heresy. which is kinda the point.

DeleteJust to reiterate, the models were amazingly painted, just some were a bit 40kish rather than 30kish if that makes sense. I don't mean to undermine the enterants achievements which are very well deserved.
DeleteI think some politics may have been involved but still, well done to everyone who entered.
ReplyDeleteBut garro looks awesome :P deserved something at least, was there any news on iron warriors getting models for iron havocs and tyrant siege termies btw?
ReplyDeleteYes Tyrants were mentioned... No timeline though.
DeleteHmmm as nice as the winners were I think drake deserved a win for that garro conversion.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just rigged due to guillimans boys being the poster girls for the heresy whereas drakes boys are too good for the golden Deamon awards
we joked it was because he wasn't mounted on a stand...
DeleteI don't think FW would describe UM as poster boys. Front covers are reserved for the real legions.... The Titan Legions!
Tylar, great writeup.
ReplyDeleteDrake: Fantastic work, just incredible. Thank you for the great tutorial. I hadn't seen the oil paint/WS technique before; I'll be showing that to the boss.
No problems. See my death guard medusa post for good pics of how to use oil and White Spirits.
DeleteWhere were the winners for the Vehicle category?
ReplyDeleteYour right!
DeleteI'll edit them in later.
Sorry guys they failed to upload for some reason.
My apologies.
