I decided to vote for Andrew (Pinky Beecroft). His conversion is really nice, and the painting has a great ghostly feel to it. The base is also top notch.

Congrats to all who entered! :)

Hmmm, I think some need to hone their photo skills before entering, you're not doing yourself any favours by submitting pics you can hardly see.

So hard to weigh... like, do you vote more for the efforts in conversion, basing, the degree of improvement in some of the newer members, the sheer skill with the brush... whaaaat??? :? I know, it's for me to decide... but that makes it very difficult.... and fun I might add. I need to think on this a bit... crazy... :roll:

Cheers mate 8)

My vote came down to the two Josh's (the two that I know of at any rate :? ). In the end Anduril's won because it's got a bit of everything going on, though I have to admit there isn't one model submitted this round that I don't like :yay:

I voted for mada because it was such a unique entry. I also think it is one of the scariest, most disturbing-looking models I have seen. Perfect for a ghost.

Yeah this was tough, for me it was between a few of them: bilbo, pinky, anduril, skeleton todd to name my favourites. I ended up voting for skeleton todd cause I liked the unique take. I like the less ghostly, corporeal feel it has.

usagidoug, because it was something new and it looks great, although I would suggest taking better pictures next time. :)

I also voted for Doug. Something very eerie about his model. Bright eyes coming out of the darkness. A tough call though. Several different contestants have potential winners for very different reasons. It's good to see.

So many great entries again, but finally I voted for BucklandBrewer's wights. The colour scheme was the deciding factor for me.

I went with ukfreddybear...Dave did an amazing job with the free hand on the banner and I just couldn't overlook that even though there was some seriously awesome entries.
Josh, Pinky, Bart, Anduril, Skelleton...brother, all you guys made it tough on me! :)

Again, it's a hard one. In the end I went for Skelleton Todd's entry. I love the colour scheme, and it stood out as it looks alot different to the other models (in a good way, of course). The painting is great, and the base adds to the whole character of the model. 8)

Well done to everyone who entered! :yay:

Another difficult decision but my vote went to Josh, (Anduril Blade of Kings), because of the well painted minature and the thematic base.

All the minatures painted were excellent and the vast quantities of entries made for a great painting challenge. :-D

Have you ever thought that some people might have a better photo program than others?? and actualy just photoshop their pictures. I myself dont have any photo programs so just stuck with trying to get the best picture I can and do the best some basic photo editer will do!! I'm sure plenty of others are in the same boat.

But alas it seems, he who has best photo wins!

My vote goes to Buckland brewer, but an honerable mention goes to Pinky for the conversion, its simply great, just a little to white for me! Also ever pilgrim, clean neat job really reflects traditional painting and basing IMO.
