Congratulations to the winners! Those are amazing entries and I honestly had troubles selecting just three.

@Reaver Are you planning to digitize your entry along with your other sculpts?

Congrats to the winners! Well deserved, and as always a difficult vote. ^^

@Admiral do we know when and if OSM will be picking their winner? That result is as exciting to see as the community’s vote. :smirk:

I’ve poked them twice about it, first when entries were revealed and then yesterday the day before voting deadline. Life can be busy. They’re discussing it with their marketing team, and I hope we will soon find out. :smile:

Congratulations to the winners. I was pretty convinced reaver would win this with his amazing sculpt. I couldnt get past entry 1 for ages, brilliant!

Atom taylors excellent boar centaurs actually exist in model form, maybe it is a hint to osm to release them?
Lovely drawing.

Forgefires great picture, for something you weren’t happy with too…amazingly talented. Nice one.

If i had to vote for what should actually be cast and released by osm though it has to be admirals beserker. Delightfully old school, i want it! Well a unit of them

Great work everyone else, hard to judge pictures against models

Congrats to all of the winners, and to everyone else. You should all be proud, given how amazing everything in this contest was there was no way to predict how this would go. Excited to see the OSM pick next, but given that choosing just one of these is a titanic feat, I can see how this would take some time and some meetings.

Cool! Was not expecting a medal, im glad you guys talked me in to give it a shot. The only thing i had was a loose idea of doing a necromancer but the looming deadline forced me to just start :smiley:

Walhut shudders his blubber with delight! Thanks to all of you converts to the tusked one! Truly great showing folks. Eager to see these up in blogs. And yes the plan would be to roll the walhut bits into the bastards project.

Shout to @denelian5 that newt is a work of beauty. I could really see that alongside the dvergar range. Multi-material sculpting too, masterful.

Also there’s a large part of me that wants a miniature of @Vapo ’s ghost chariot.

All great options and I’ll look forward to OSM’s choice.

I must say it was my favourite entry. So off from my regular view of chaos dwarfs but somehow so right in the oldhammer style contest. It was the first one I knew I had to vote for.

Lovely use of colours to give that creepy, horror movie feeling. I think you’ve got good odds to be picked up by OSM. :smiley:

Hi vapo, i loved your 1 eyed wizard, i wasnt sure what the things pulling the chariot were?

Thanks, they were originally drawn to be “fiery” walking flames. I wasn’t feeling the fire vibe with the rest of the piece so I changed the color to make them “magical” walking flames.

Not going to lie, I thought your entry was a troll of a professional sculptor that already worked for OSM because it was legit so tight! haha
