Yup, thats it....

Wonderful!

So far you haven\'t missed anyone.

It makes for easier reading, to have all the submissions in such a format.

Great names so far...

No need my well-educated and incredibly tasteful friend. It is of course from D.R. and Quinch go to Hollywood part deux!
How could I ever have forgotten? Pretty damn obscure however you have to admit?

Well, the only thing left to say is,\"\'Mind the Oranges Marlon\"lollollollol

(apologies to all the sane people out there in mini land - or does that statement contain certain contradictions?)

Obvious nominations

RLobinske - for the biggest negative impact in the shortest time - 1st reserve bOrabOra.

BME - for being er- - BME

I\'ve got a Golden Turkey!

Have a look at this website and the miniatures contained therein...

That\'s my nomination!

Oh, and I agree with Nomis on his points too :)

Quick amendment...

As above, only when I say I agree with Nomis, I quickly point out that I didn\'t see BME until after I\'d posted :).

Therefore I agree with Nomis apart from the BME nomination :cool:. I suggest our lovely elf is just misunderstood (and occasionally a bit abusive, but I kinda like and respect the guy).

That was a close shave!

I agree with Nomis on all of his points, and add anyone else who decides to use this site to insult other painters. :p

Tom Meier...one of the first sculpters to advance the field. Showing that you could have detail in figures...and they didn\'t have to be a lump of lead.

Aly Morrison...for pushing the envelope...in both sculpting and painting.

GW as a company for showing the field...that beautifully painted figures where not only possible in Military 54mm Figure range.

Ral Partha - For answering his own phone when his company was at its height - and for spilling his lunch down his chest while doing so

Gary Gygax et al - For giving us some other reason to paint the little metal buggers

The Working Slobs at Heritage, Ral Partha, GW/Citadel, Iron Winds, Grenadier, Alternate Armies, and all those companies I have failed to mention for giving us something to paint all these years.

And finally, everyone who has ever posted to this site or written an article or just left a comment for having the testicular fortitude to put thier work on display for the entire world
