Not having a topic about German Gamesday here on the board is really sad, since it was a really good event.
Okay now it´s over so here´s a lil´ review
I survided the traveling with a really bad busdriver which made me think of making my testament earlier then expected ...
The Gamesday itself was really stressy, loud and full of people. Sadly a lot of them smelled quite bad. But i really enjoyed to talk to good old friends and to meet new people there. Really loved Degras greens, never thought they could be this small with so much detail on them. Have to say it must be a real pain to pait such thiny details, i guess i´d loose my eyelight when doing so Degra also entered a sigmarpriest painted by cheeba. Excellent piece which was disqualified due to the fact that Cheeba wasn´t on the Gamesday. It was a bit hard, but if GW decided different they might have created a hole for those ebaybought-and-entered-by-myself-cheaters (which already caused some scandals in the US). Problem for degra was, that the rules on the website didn´t state that Cheeba had to be there, while it does not prohibit cooperations.
There was another sad decision about some french painters coming too late to enter the competition, because they got lost in cologne, which is a driving-nightmare ... they came 7min too late so it was a hard word not to let them enter. The judges could have been nicer and accept those entries, if you consider how far the french painters travel to enter a Gamesday it wold have been just fair to give them the 7min ... But as far as i know it happened in UK too, that too late entries weren´t accepted anymore.
The golden demon itself was really hard this year, lots of great entries, really hard competition ... one reason were the french, spanish, belgian an austrian painters. Oh and the ones from Swiss ... thought i won´t mention you Mormedil?
I´m sad i did not take my camera to Gamesday, so i have to link from different forums ... or better i use the linking of someone else (Mormedil), since i´m a lazy person.

Derwish from CMON made the slayersword, i think it was a well deserved win, since he captured the feel of GWs IP the best with his Orion. Maybe someone might disagree with my opinion, but i don´t care Have to aim for the sword next year ...
I sadly don´t remember all of the winners, so maybe we can make a list together ... I´ll go for nicknames if i know them.

Hope i did not loose a category and sorry that i haven´t remembered all the names, i´m getting old
Some words to my own entries I was very surprised that the diorama placed first, never thought it would place at all ... it is nicely painted but nothing new and only pimped a bit. I thought Matt should have taken first and wanted to make a bet with him ... ^^
The second entrie was my darkelve cick i sculpted a year ago. I di´dn´t want to go to this years GamesDay, since i´m having my diploma at the moment, which is a bit stressy ... but i decided to pimp the old darkelve and take the ride to cologne. I started to paint her early July. After one week of painting i felt really bad, had heavy problems with my eyes, headache and felt like drunken all the time. Thought it was the weather So after a weak of complete feel-bad-painting i went to the doctor, got to hospital and go to know that i was having diabetes and was entered there short before coma ... what a fun. I was painting a bit in the hospital, didn´t work that well since i couldn´t see that good at this moment. Good thing was that my sight got better with every new day, so i could finish the darkelve lady at least one day before gamesday. That´s the lil´story behind it ...
edit: found another great link
