I want to thank each and everyone who participated in the contest! We had 29 entries (28 initially, and one added a bit later due to an incorrect submission method). 28 would have been tied for our most entries ever, but 29 beats it by one! Again, a huge thanks again to Mantic Games for sponsoring this contest with prizes!
The voting was very close! 58 members casted their votes totaling 171 total votes.
Without further ado, here are the results.
3rd Place - Bronze Hat: Blue in VT - #02
2nd Place - Silver Hat: G.2 - #24
1st Place - Golden Hat: Bassman - #16
That means Blue in VT, G.2 and Bassman can look forward to fabulous prizes from Mantic Games! Guys, please send me your mailing address via PM so I can submit them to Mantic games.
While we don’t tecnically do honourable mentions, I’d like to mention 3 names who got more than ten votes each, they were #12-Clam, #08-JMR and #28-Fonejacker! Well done guys.
Congratulations Bassman. Very nicely done and a well deserved win. And well done Blue.
Thank you everyone for voting and making this competition happen, and thank you to everyone who voted for my entry. I am just a little shocked at the moment, I did not expect to be a place holder at all. I would have been extremely happy to just be in the top 10, with such a great amount of talent.
I did have an “unexpected painting secret”, which I used for this comp. I decided to use a white primer instead of a black one…ummmm…I think I will be painting on a white primer from now on.

You deserved to win! Yours is a great entry.
I actually always prime my miniatures with white. It's the perfect primer to unveil details :)
Fierce competition again and it was so nice to see the scope and range of different models showcased in this competition. Worthy winners each and every entrant.
Think, this here is the first time I’ve actually succeed voting for all the winning entries. Excellent, excellent job guys, so well deserved - I’m proud of you :hat off
By the way Xander, if you add Object Source Lightning to the base/bottom of the mini (the lava glow), your entry could’ve easily been a model by Ishkur you know! For a day or two you had me thinking it was in fact Ishkur’s
:hat off A big thanks to all that deemed my little guy worthy of a vote! To be chosen from a pool of such wonderful models is humbling…and not a little surprising.
Bassman and G2…both wonderful entries…congrats to you!
Thommy H. I love your entry…where is that figure from? I don’t recognize it…its a mini old school Chaos Warrior…Awesome!
Xander…Love yours too…a unit of those guys would have a very unique feel that is quite appealing
Goldo…your entry was in my top 5 as well…excellent work…again a whole unit of those guys would be fantastic…and scary!
Nitro…I really like your shooter…he feels like a character from Star Wars to me…Tatooine bounty hunter perhaps…whatever…he’s cool!
Fonejacker, Ryanamandaanna, and Pyro…excellent work on the FW models…they are all top notch
Clam…we’ve already chatted and you know how much I like your figure…wanna make one for me?..
Borador…While I can’t fib and tell you that you got one of my votes I can say that this is the best model we have seen from you to date. You’re improving rapidly…keep at it! Your figure choice is impeccable as well…:cheers
To all others…great work I would love to comment on all the entries…but I’m at work…:~ so should limit my time. All the entries were excellent!
Congratulations to the winners! I’m only surprised that Fonejacker’s excellent entry didn’t reach top three. Alot of good stuff was entered, and certainly so as sources of inspiration.
Blue in VT, your colourful entry was one of my favourites. Who would have thought that old school CDs went so well along with corkscrew beard?
G.2, I might have voted for you had not the picture been so yellow. It distorted the colours.
Bassman, that Warrior is great. So great, in fact, it could easily be used as a hero.
As for Mantic, hats off for the sponsorship! Hats off, too, to Xander’s and Clam’s random prizes. :hat off

Blue in VT
Thanks a lot Blue :) It's really nice to hear this and it is surely motivating me to keep on becoming better at painting. Really enjoyed it, that's what is most inportant after all! And you know what they say, skill comes with age, so I still have quite some years to practise haha (15 right now ;P).
By the way, congratulations on your medal, you were my favorite entry haha!
By the way Xander, if you add Object Source Lightning to the base/bottom of the mini (the lava glow), your entry could've easily been a model by Ishkur you know! For a day or two you had me thinking it was in fact Ishkur's ;P
Borador
Except Ishkur would never send a warrior out into the wild with such a small cap of a hat. ;) Xander always had his own quite unique style. The base was different this time, though.
