No Remorse Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Heya all Well for my first GD I had the great experience of having 3 out the 4 entries I entered make first cut and had one get a bronze and another ALMOST get a bronze. I was lucky enough to have my friend Boltman along for most of the day to show me around and teach a few tricks :wacko: Through him I met Jeremie and the rest of the French crew, Angela Imrie and the Canadian GW Head Manager. Of course we had a great time and he divulged a lot of information about Jeremie and his painting seminars to me over breakfast and throughout the day, so that maybe next year I might see a brighter colour on my Demon :rolleyes: All in all it was a great time, even though I am a bit disappointed with the results that the termies got, it just makes me want to try harder next year and that can never be a bad thing. Okay enough of that, you want to see the pics so here they are. I will be posting these on CMON along with individual pics of the termies.

Chronophague Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 They look great No_Remorse. No idea why these didn't win, guess bad luck... I would've liked some a bit closer shots of the models, but oh well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Remorse Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 For those interested For those interested I am just sorting through the 200 pics I took now but here is a shot of the Gold and silver Gold http://greenman.publicmine.com/gallery/alb...01/DSCN0288.JPG Silver - the marines directly behind my squad http://greenman.publicmine.com/gallery/alb...01/DSCN0290.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 @ Chronophage, as stated I will be posting individual pics of the termies on CMON CMON is pretty busted these days, takes ages to load anything from there due to immense traffic... :lol: At least for me that is. Guess they are sorta worth the wait tho. :D Hey, haven't those silver marines been posted on this here forum as well, Pre-heresy Death Guard. Intresting choises to come before your squad, maybe there were more conserned with "image" than just technique or something. The scoropions look nice, tho the pic is a bit overexposed by the looks of it(phot edit software?)... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calamity_kane Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Congrats on the bronze, although def think it should've at least been a silver, as I'm really not that impressed by the pastel scorpions, seem to be utilising that pastely (pastey) finish that seems popular at the moment. lurked your thread quite a bit and saw these come together, and always had a thing for LOTD since they first made their appearance way back when. So maybe im a teeny bit biased.... but you have an awesome sqad there again congrats Calamity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabblerouser Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hey there! I'm the guy that stole your silver. Do you know why I got it? Because I sure don't. I think you deserved it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Remorse Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 LOL! I would loved to have meet you in person and congratulate you! Well I can't say I wasn't disappointed but we all deserved a trophy, the fact that mine is bronze instead of gold or silver is fine since it gives me the drive to do a more stunning piece next year. AS for why, well I am not trying to insult you or the gold demon winner, but it seemed that Pete was a bit rushed in the end and when I saw him judge the cabinet he seemed to just glance at my termies and put them on the third place without taking time to examine the details, which I beleive would have made a big difference. Also I still think the scorpions should have placed behind yours, thier base was nice, but the painting wasn't up to par, it was very rough. Still though I am happy to get a GD on my first time out, it really inspires me to keep going, mind you it didn't hurt that both Jeremie and Vince told me the the termies were the best in the group and should have won hands down. It's all good, hopefully we can meet next year :D Ja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabblerouser Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Oh no worries... I'm not insulted or anything. I should have placed 3rd or runner up. But then again, this isn't the first time they judges made a bad call. I think the call might have something to do with black minis not showing well in dimly lit halls. This might partially explain why DV8 didn't place higher. It would also explain why those eldar did as well as they did. You going to chicago by any chance?

Zgar Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Honestly, and no offence to anyone, I think your termies should have got gold hands down. I also think that if you made them a better display stand (textured one to match the bases with some interesting terrain featurette), the squad would be a much bigger eye catcher and you got the well deserved gold. The eldar are nice, but nothing special IMO. And their bases are quite weird... Congrats to the brozne than!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
