Thorne:

Many congratulations all that entered and many congratulations to m3lvin that has to be the coolest model I have seen in a long time.

Grimstonefire:

Medals have been awarded.

A few things worth mentioning here:

65 valid voters, which could be a record.

m3lvin managed to get near 90% votes, which is certainly a record by a long way.

Xander missed out on 3rd by 3 votes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Great job everyone. :cheers

Can the winners please take the opportunity to do any touch ups needed to their entries if needed, before taking some final shots for word of hashut.

Xander missed out on 3rd by 3 votes. :P

Grimstonefire
I think I managed to guess 3/3 again. Wait was that not the idea? ;P
Ah no, it seems I was betting on Xander. Darn. 2/3 is still good?
I really thought I had voted for bassman, shows how much I was dithering on the choices. Except for nr 9 I think I knew I was going to vote for that as soon as I saw it.

Congratulations to the winners. There were a lot of nice looking models. Too bad I'm not really in painting place right now. Would have had a snowball's chance in hell, but maybe someday...

Bassman:

Yeeees, yeeees I wo… oh s@#t I loose! :expressionless:

lol I’m jocking! I know m3lvin was going to win, his entry is sooooo cool! No match for us, but I got my satisfaction beating Ishkur, my master :slight_smile: I went into Chaos Dwarfs also thanks to him (and Snotling and Xander and… blah, blah).

Nothing personal, my friend :wink:

Ok, I stop to be silly, I’m just happy and I’d like to thank you everybody :hat off

Ishkur Cinderhat:

No way! No way! I made it third place amongst these awesome entries? Can’t believe it! :hat off

Honestly, m3lvin brushed us all aside with this exceptionally sculpted and painted monstrous mount. I hope to see some really large pictures of this thing later on here and / or in the WOH.

@Bassman: making second place is not losing man :wink: Congrats to a well earned medal, surely the coolest unit filler I have seen in quite a while. Show some WIP shots in your blog!

Bassman:

Ishkur: I was just kidding, you know? :slight_smile:

My compliments for your great entry, I’ll post you some comments I’d like to give you about your sculpt :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I do not have WIP shots… my shame! But I rushed the building a little bit because of lack of time not taking any WIP shots.

I’m so happy with my filler that I planned a second one for my second Bbs unit, replacing my Death rocker filler (so I can use it as an actual Death Rocket). I’ll post WIP of this second filller, sure.

Ishkur, where are you going to put your new medal? You have so many, lol

m3lvin: shame on you if you do not post larger and better pics of your creation. You’re making me regret I bought a GW Lammasu!

It was hard to chose what to vote for :wink:

m3lvin:

Thanks everyone!! :hat off

It’s a great honour being awarded such a fine prize!

The standard of the entries was so high, I honestly didn’t now what to expect.

I guess the hard work paid off in the end, the award will inspire me to make even more cool models in the future. :cheers

I’ll post all progress pictures of my entry in my blog tomorrow.

thanks goes out to every member of CDO, without you guys I’d never started with CDs in the first place.
