Also, please expect delay in messages going out to prize winners (and relevant donors). Tabs don’t work as they should for me at the moment, so either this will be handled by a volunteer, or I’ll return to it either tomorrow or next week when I’m back home next times.

Unusual technical difficulties have occurred.

Bravi to everyone!! This has been the biggest GH in so many years!!
I wanted touch those models from the 2nd prize, but in so happy to see @Zoddtheimmortal getting them while entering with 3rd edition horde! It’s so perfect, couldn’t fit better!

Best part for me was to see on discord people commenting my own Lamassu ahahahah mostly because some of you were even doubting that model was mine in the 1st place!
hahaha I love the fact that there are such mental people in here not sure of who’s the other mental guy to make such a beast hahahah

Love you all, you furry lot

I loved so much to see so many bestial entries, so many Lamassus and bulls, or parts of them
@Dedled as I told you in private already, your entry to me was a fucking homerun! What a magnificent work!! Cant wait to see the wip work!!

Hello all,

What a competition, there were brain-teasing and truly incredible entries. I hardly knew how/which entry to vote for. The fact that we increased the number of entries to 5 made it more bearable but not easier.

Every one of them was exceptional and I would like to thank everyone who took part in the competition and of course those who voted for me (as always, I will pay out the gold afterwards for the votes I bought).

Thank you very, very much.

Bravo @Bessron @Zoddtheimmortal @Reaver ! Stunning work from yourselves and everyone else. Huge props as well to @Admiral and co for organising. What a community. This was my first GH contest and what a hoot it turned out to be. See you at the next one :+1:

Great competition admiral. 29 winners here (your entry should have been included).
By far the hardest to pick my favourites (5). Great idea though for 5 votes when so many great entries.

So many great really generous prizes too!

Thankyou very much whoever voted for me (silver gh makes me a very happy chaos dwarf today, no pillaging for me today-except for the beer fridge).

Well done bessron and reaver and everyone that entered.

I actually guessed wrong who painted your winning entry.

Eddy had 3 possible entries until i saw his head on the lammasu. Eddy you need a master of madness with your head on 3 times now.

A great celebration for chaos dwarfs!

What an awesome contest! To the winners, @Bessron, @Zoddtheimmortal, @Reaver, well earned trips to the pedestal! Beautifully crafted and skillfully rendered entries!

To all the other entrants, this community puts out amazing work. So many cool ideas, cunning builds, and well painted pieces.

I look forward to seeing each individual piece built and painted on your army blogs.

Cheers! JR

Please… PLEASE! I’d pay bottom dollar to have a print of this shipped across the salty seas to the sandy beaches of pothole-land.

Well done to ALL entrants. Really immaculate showing and I can’t wait to discuss the details on the podcast. Unlike Bessron, I will not be paying my steampunk auto-vote-matons that clearly elevated the Tjubbly Fablanquin.
