Screaming in at the last second, it’s now a two-horse race between @LaketideMiniatures and @Reaver - a brutal dogfight - the American takes it in this first round, but Laketide’s speed painting is renowned…
Meanwhile, it’s level pegging in the quest for third place. Will @Oxymandias ’ magpie-like compulsions strike him low, or will the sweet sound of print after print devour @MichaelX 's skaven gains? Only time will tell.
with @KhamdrimSkyMaster firmly in fifth, he has a clear place as the last of this month’s true winners. With the power of 20mm historicals, next month beckons.
In the fat middle, there are as many stories as there are entrants. Some have had a quiet month - others paddling frantically to stay above water.
Starting the walk of shame, only @GhraskDragh knows whether the heat of Brazilian summer is keeping her on the beaches and away from the painting bench. Perhaps when the southern hemisphere autumn rolls around in March, she will have more time to finish the 80/90% done work currently drying in the Ipanema sun.
We all pray that @tjub 's addiction to blood bowl will outlast the score shock of an entire new halfling team. Can’t wait to see them when they’re ready!
@chitzkoi had a last-minute mare as birthday gifts destroyed an admittedly modest start. Badly in the red, it remains to be seen whether this mythical night goblin horde has the answer.
Lastly, @bas_2312 , whose blog this month beggars belief. This man. THIS FUCKING GUY. Has painted enough minis to put himself top. More than Reaver. And instead… he is bottom. Given the productivity, we may well see him interrupting the dogfight for first place by summertime.
It’s a hell of a read, and the minis are really beautiful.
