Plus I feel inadequate to judge considering my lack of talent and wouldn't know a good mini from bad. Just because you aren't an award winning movie director, I'm sure you can tell a good film from a bad one - and I'm sure you can tell a good joke from a bad one even though you aren't a stand-up comedian. Actually I am a movie writer and they have been mostly comedies...some have won awards. Just kidding. I still will not vote but I will make a prediction of who I think will win...

Ah, go on Rook... you know you want to As for painting Space Marines... well... I could see it coming against some opposition from many on the board, but unpopular as it may be, you could actually do alot with a Space Marine - but you really would need to go to town on details like scroll work, gold filigree, purity seals, highlights galore, etc. The thing about Marines is that, because they can be so simple to paint (ie paint the armour blue, black and silver on the guns, maybe a transfer on the shoulder and base - no highlights), people often see them as boring. If you really go into the detail, they can be quite impressive (there was a guy who did some amazing Imperial fists on here - 3ff3ct, do you remember his name? - I was following thread, but I seem to have lost it...). Anyways, COME ON TOMORROW! I want to know the results!

Dedrier: no, not that one - the models were primarily from the AoBR box, with a scout landspeeder added in. The metals of the guns was painted in greys (very effectively) and the armour was... well... amazing! How about the Golden Ork painting competition??? Heretic!

ork painting isn't very imperial guard, guess quite a few wont have any of them as well.

I've been following/lurking this thread and the previous one for quite awhile and I'm glad I did. Like so many others, my choice of who to vote for was a tough one. It came down to two models in the end, but they were all great. Good job guys!

I somehow have Nid and Eldar parts, but never bought any Nids or Eldar... Ever. Also, it took me a while, but I managed to make my choice on the matter. Now I can't wait to see who the winner ends up being.

Wow! I won. :-) Thanks to everyone who voted for my ork hunter. I actually voted for entry 8 and to be honest I can't believe it only got three votes. Anyway... Thanks again! Great contest, and I'm looking forward to the next contest.

What? I thought I would be able to vote until friday evening! Eh, it doesn't matter my vote wouldn't have changed the outcome anyway. Surprised that 4, 6 and 8 didn't get more points though.
Congrats Bobahat!

Nicely done Boba!
What! I got 3 votes?!?! Someone actually thought mine was the best out of all the skill here. My god. This is the greatest day of my life.
Again though, everyone who entered should be proud. All these models were fantastic.

Hear hear! Anyone with suggestions for the next golden guardsman painting comp, send me a PM with a title/theme and a breif explaination. If you want to give me startingpoints for rules etc go for it! Any help is much appreciated! Ideas will be narrowed down by myself, and the most appropriate (not the most awesome, sometimes they dont go hand in hand, see Titan Painting ) will be put up for public vote (go democracy!). I have a few ideas already, so the sooner the better! I want to crank out the next one before xmas, then we can get something a bit crazy going on over the festive period ;D
