[Admiral-Badruck]

Did you guys even take any pictures?

I didn't really expect to win anything at all, although I do admit to secretly hoping one of mine would somehow snatch a bronze or something. Oh well, it was nice to see what GD winning models look like in the flesh (plastic?) and what sort of things the judges seem to be looking for.

IMHO I have improved a lot over the last year to maybe the level of 'pretty good' painter but I can see I am still a step (or 2 or 3) below the level of 'really good' painter. Ten and MiJ would be in the latter category in case you were wondering.

As for the event itself, it was actually a little bit 'meh'. There were no other activities etc after between handing in the models and the results (about 5 hours!!!!). Not even a scrap daemon. One of the GW guys did guide us over to the 'Armies on Parade' showcase competition at the Nakano store which was quite interesting but that was about it. If I went again I would probably just dump my models and head to the nearest pub.

Anyways, congrats to Ten and Ichiban (who won a shiteload of awards including the Slayer Sword-umbrella).

As for photos, just wait until GW post them on their homepage. BTW in between winning everything in sight and saying lotsa naughty words , Ichiban did all the photography too.
