Wow. -------------------- It's pretty hypocritical to deride GW for valuing their pocketbooks over what's good for the growth of the hobby while you are buying on ebay and playing in your friendly local gaming store.

Model is also great but to be honest there has been much more detailed models there in the past. This is not to bash out the painting skills, but just to take notice that it is in my opinion the sum of the model + flag that makes this so impressive, not model itself.

Didn't want to say too much at first, but the painting on the daemonette (in some places) could have been blended more carefully. For example: the jaw close to the banner looks too black and a bit flat. The middle piece of her mohawk is a bit mis-sculpted. That said, the level the painter achieved on this model far surpasses mine

When one of my friends won a Golden Demon award for his diorama the picture they took of it made the Fire Warrior at the top of the landing ramp look like he was floating in mid air! That said, I agree that the freehand on the banner was probably what won the award for him, as its truly outstanding. Also, if you look at the 40k squads for last year the second place winner was another friend of mine, although I don't think the photo picks up the details on his models very well (or the 1st place squad either for that matter). -------------------- Come on Tzeentch!

Lord of the Skull Throne Group: Admin Posts: 5,727 Member No.: 126 Joined: 8-February 05	Agreed I've had friends win awards as well and had the comments on line be 'that doesn't look so great' but in person it's unbelievable. I've seen some of Victor Hardy's work in person - and it's much more impressive than on the web (go find his blood thirster on the site above .. . ) -------------------- It's pretty hypocritical to deride GW for valuing their pocketbooks over what's good for the growth of the hobby while you are buying on ebay and playing in your friendly local gaming store.

He always did good looking Khorne stuff and that dreadlocked Bloodthirster of his was fantastic. -------------------- Come on Tzeentch!
