wow some great looking stuff i'm bit sad i missed it all.
jamie certainly has his NMM worked out. his entrys look fantastic. Are gav's entries in diorama and open flames of war? if so awesome work, i really love battle fronts mini's and what he's done with them( drool )

looking forward to lots more photo's if anyone has pics of any nice tournament armies i would love to see those too. :wink:

Yep those were Flames of War, I didn't do much photography of armies, sorry to say. Did get some pics of a few tables. Was a nice Fallout inspired Infinity table and a few others that look good.

Thanks for the comp guys. I really enjoyed the way it all worked out, me getting best of show was a shock! There are some really great entries there. Hope you liked fallout table, it was my terrain, although I missed out getting a game on it during the tourney. I got lots of comments about it that where good, but i seem to remember explaining the same construction techniques countless times.

Must say that robs pirate town and automatons figures are really nice, photos just dont capture the finish of the models.

Was good to put some faces to names on the forum and im looking forward to next year.

thanks again for running the competition.

Well done!
Good work all - many congrats.

Congratulations Mark, great entry and fully deserved best in show and well done to all other winners.

I would also like to thank Rob and Andrew for running the competition and Sebastian for judging.

Just one question...I saw this on somebodies photo album at the event. I was wondering who painted it because just looks stunning. I really love the colour scheme.

Gareth Pannan painted that - it got 4th place in Large, it was a really tough decision that tested Sebastian to the best of his judging ability to decide the third place getter!

Lovely work. I wish i could have made it too.

The standard is getting better and better every year.

yes there were a couple of insanely difficult decisions to make for the places in some categories...deciding 3rd place for large was a real killer, and so was 2nd and 3rd place for single - and best of show was a nightmare haha...so close between your wolfen, jamie, and the squad.

agentmolar · **Posted:** Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:29 am

So how hard did you fight for your mini to win first place seb? :lol:

Just kidding, its a cracking paintjob!

PrawnPower · **Posted:** Tue Oct 07, 2008 8:31 am

Congratulations all
Hope the judging wasn't too arduous Seb, did you get a free pint?

And that Sorceress does seem to be Seb's most popular figure so far

Great photos Rob! And Agent_Venom, your Infinity Table is awesome, love the Nuka Cola!

I should also thank Angora for doing up the Oz Painters and Hell Dorado flyers, and also the little name tags we have next to the display models.

Rob's pirate town was a great eye-catcher for getting people to look in the cabinet - I suggested next year we can work towards another diorama for the display cabinet.
