Welcome to the final stage of "The Great Baalite Bake Off" - the Blood Angels sub-forum’s premier modelling event!

After two months of hard toil the artificers of the Blood Angels and their allies have put the final touches on their creations and downed tools as the GBBO has come to a close. For them, anyway. A whole smorgasbord of creations have been modelled, kitbashed and sculpted and this has been put to the judges of THE FORGE to decide which ones standout above the rest. However, it doesn't end here. Below are the finest of the finest creations and there can be only one winner. Vote for your favourite so we can find the Champion of The Great Baalite Bake Off 2017!

Basic information:
  • Poll open until the end of the May 2017
  • Ten contestants (images below), please view before voting
  • One vote: permanent, public - Note that viewing the poll results before voting will register a null vote!

Have to say, the GBBO has been a great success. We've had a plethora of entries (both in and out of competition) and they really show off the modelling spirit of not only the Blood Angels sub-forum but the B&C as a whole and for those interested, the list of completions (with links to each individual entry) can be found here.

From the in competition entries The Forge Moderators have kindly pulled up a shortlist of their favourite submissions. It is from this list that we need you, the reader of this thread to vote for your absolute favourite model on display and to help us determine the winner! The poll is open until the end of the month of May so don't delay, vote today!

sml_gallery_62972_10568_1098.jpg What Are the Awards?

The GBBO has four awards on offer. The first two, the participant banner and the completion banner, have already been revealed and claimed by our Finalists. The third, rarer badge is the Finalists badge, and this one can be displayed by the participants below in either their signatures or the avatars should they wish:

The outright winner will have their very own badge, to be revealed at the end of the event. All the best to our participants!

Right folks, the thread is live! Please vote for your favourite entry - remember, this is one vote that is permanent and public, and anyone can vote regardless of Faction. We're celebrating modelling here after all! Please be aware that if you view the votes first your vote will be nullified and there's nothing I can do about it!

Sorry to say but I have to vote for myself though. Hope ya'll understand :wink: .

 

A lot of these are pretty phenomenal units and I wish you all luck!

 

Edit: Aside from my own *cough*, no. 5, no. 10 and no. 6 are by far my favorites!

Edited by Spagunk

The tough thing about deciding between so many competitors, is that you can't purely just decide on what you like and don't like. You must think about finesse, execution and creativity, as well as marking down for flaws. With all that in mind, Grazcruzk has my vote. It was tough to choose between his Tycho and the other model I did not pick. :sweat:
