Ha ha ha. Your base sounds like my Balrog base for last year. Man, am I glad I don\'t have to deal with that again!
:bouncy:
Good luck with finishing it before 1 am. :D

Jeff being LunchBox, not DFD. Though I doubt DFD walked home empty-handed!

Slayer sword went to Chris Borer for his Duel... I thought Mattheiu\'s dreadnought was amazing! Competition was pretty stiff again as it is in Chicago every year, even though Duel and 40K monster only had like 6-8 entries per category.
I managed to scrape by with a gold in 40k Squad for my Seer Council, and a Silver in Fantasy Single for my Standard Bearer, and an HM for a Sarumon that I painted the night before... (thats becoming a ritual for me every year now LotR single the night before GD! haha)

Congratz to all the winners!! I took some pics, hope to post some of em soon (if they came out ok, the lighting in there is horrible and I only had my point and shoot... gonna bring my uber camera next year~~)

I wonder what is wrong with 40K monster category. Even when it was monster+vehicles there were comparatively few entries, now though, after everything 40mm but terminators has been moved into this category it should be full of entries, yet... no.

When I read this yesterday (about 3:30 central) I thought it was premature. Every Games Day I have been to usually has the awards ceremony around 5:30.

Congratulations to Chris. I know that he put a lot of time planning his duel and did a wonderful job with the conversion. It is based on a story from the Horus Heresy.

Had a lot of fun talking with the other painters, especially you Team Canada folks and Jeff, and the Alaska contingent.

Did I meet Elly3438 and just not know it?

I\'m the girl Wappel. :)

Celthulhu, get some pics up of your Dark Angels squad and your empire general... very impressive! (40k squad had a lot of good entries, I\'m surprised I got the gold, the competition was huge) by the time I took pics you had already gathered your stuff~

Congrats to everyone who entered and congrats to everyone who took home little trophies! I cant wait to see more pictures. Big props to Brice for actually finishing his model this year!!!!...and a bronze in 40K single!!! Great job.
After seeing a few of Lunchboxes entries at ReaperCon, I knew he would do well. You guys have definately inspired me to put in a few extra hours on my entries for GDLA! NOW GET SOME MORE PICTURES UP...please:D
