I have to say, looking at the pictures on Facebook from some of the GW pages. The venue looks really cool! It looks like a pretty decent size for the first Gamesday and its pretty funky in an old Train Warehouse, with all the machines and stuff... Should be good!

Yes - as soon as I saw that Alan Merret was judging I thought "Thank GOD I didn't enter this year!"

My ears are still ringing from when he looked at my Necromunda Killer Clown gang about 15 years ago and tut-tutted and almost turned blue in the face with contempt - nay - RAGE at such sacrelige(sp?) of the GW IP... :roll:

I wouldn't WANT my work judged by him - EVER.

The Perry Twins on the other hand...

Good luck everyone tomorrow

I think it will be interesting with Allan Merret judging..... I am pretty sure he has judged the Italian Gd for the last couple of years and they seem to still have the same sort of styled miniatures winning every year.

But I think Allan is the one that doesn't like having the same type of miniature place in a category. I heard from the UK GD last year that thet told a guy the only reason he didnt place in fantasy single was because the judges didnt want 3 empire miniatures placing in the same category. And also last year when my Kroot diorama didnt get anything in the US, some of the other painters said that it was because they didnt want 2 Kroot dioramas winning.... I dont know if any of this is true... But I really hope it isnt true, because it may ruin Andrew and my 'Ork Showdown' in the 40k Large Monster category! :twisted:

Dances are an important ingredient in painting for GD.

I'll accept that.

hey guys, i stopped by area 52 to see if they had heard from GW about the tassie entriies getting to sydney, but they hadnt heard from anyone, so if anyone thats heading over can keep an eye out for the tas stuff that would be great.
a couple of minis that can remember were old sharky(saruman) lotr its got a scenic base by Jason, a monochromatic gandalf, empire duelist, imperial guard ogre with ripper gun resting on his shoulder and an eldar falcon.

Have fun to all those who are going to Gamesday, and Good luck to everybody entering Goldendemon.

thanks from the tassie painters.

Heath
