The group picture is pretty much the people who helped run the Demon Lounge. Though it looks like we grabbed Kyle for the photo.

You are always welcome to jump into pictures, hopefully we can meet up next year. Loved your mini!!!
It was just a quick picture of a bunch of friends with no intention of slighting anyone. If you notice there was not even 1/2 of the demon winners in the picture.
Most of the time everyone just gets out of there really quickly so there is no chance to get a group picture. It would be nice to get a group picture like the rest of the Demon competitions do.

yo brice, you planning comming to baltimore next year?
Hi all, I have arrived back in Australia, and have finally got onto a computer.
Thank you all for your nice words about my entries.
A funny story with my Diorama, is that, I felt it would have been too spiky to take in my Carry-On Luggage, so I checked it in my suitcase... and once I arrived in the US, to my horror, the lictor had snapped in half! So I figured that Games Day, being Games day, there would be facilities everywhere to fix it up. Ok, so once I made it to GD, there was not a pin vice to be found! so after about 45 minutes of asking around being back and forward to all the staff, I managed to come across Dave Taylor who was the ONLY one in all of the GD to have a Pin Vice. (So Dave, I cannot thank you enough for letting me borrow your tools to fix up my dio) Anyways, so I fixed up the lictor, added a bit of fresh paint and then entered it, and to my suprise, it won Gold. Which was so great, after a stressful morning.
So, I just had a look at my Diorama back here at home.... and now the lictor\'s legs and torso are broken again.... hehehe, I am used to fixing it now...
I feel really lucky to have snagged that many awards... :bouncy: I was really impressed with the standard of the competition. there were such amazing entries this year. A few that standed out to me was Chris Borer\'s Goblins, Mathieu\'s Khorne DP. I really love the base, blood water looked so great. I am unsure on who did the Death Guard unit, but I was throughly impressed with them. For me, Jeff\'s Gold Vehicle winner was outstanding, my pick for the Slayer. the Hyper-Detailing and weathering was just so great, I enjoyed it even more, because I have no idea how to paint vehicles, its just so foreign to me painting armour. And Ofcourse Dave T\'s Diorama, amazing!! Ok, so maybe the Painting Technique was not of my standard, but for me, a diroama is about the story, and Dave\'s Dio had such an amazing story! It was so very dynmaic and told a story from every angle. Personally I would have given it Gold!
And, ofcourse, Congrats to all the winners!!! especially to Jeff for winning the Slayer, like some else said. I just completly overlooked it for the Slayer, just this tiny little Elf, on no Display base or anything, I never really had a good look. But after the Awards Ceremony, I made sure to have a good look. Congrats Mate, a well deserved win!
well..... I guess its now onto my UK GD entries! I will probably see some of the same peeps there. :duh:

More cheating this year..? Seems like the painter was aware of it this time at least.

The guy who entered the models did so under his own name, not the painter\'s. So he was trying to \"steal the spotlight\" and wrought the system. It appears the painter knew about it as the titles of his pieces were changed almost immediately in his CMoN gallery (within 24 hours).
It is certainly not fair play, on the part of either person.
I\'ll keep the rest of my thoughts to my blog.
Cheers

I think maybe he had blonde hair Todd ; )
Certainly the guy in the crowd I congratulated on the day had blonde hair and glasses. I can only assume he was Marc.
Cheers
Dave
Oops, Thanks Dave, yes blond hair.
That’s what I thought and this is really messed up. I was standing next to him at the awards ceremony. He was with and older man and two young boys. I assumed that they were his father and sons. I remember very clearly when he returned from getting one of “his” trophies the older gentleman was genuinely exited and was patting him on the back saying “see all your hard work finally paid off”. He must have lied to the people he went to the show with too. That is really sad.
I also noticed that last year he cheated and was not caught. Look at the honorable mentions from Chicago 2008. The Chaos Dragon is one of Karol’s minis as well. I am betting Marc entered that one too.
