I noticed that too. And a lot of the minis Fluister took pictures of are not in the rotation.
Showing my newest works before I get into things!

Done a few rounds of voting, it's incredibly difficult not to give them all a 10, there's so many amazing paint jobs there, I have seen the blood reavers which I think we're bams and his Viking bust, also saw Bailey's instantly recognisable samurai and a Northumbrian which I think was also Bailey's but might have been someone else's, I know I've seen it around here somewhere anyway, don't think I've seen any from fluister yet and I know I haven't been all of bams entries yet either, I'll keep looking

Yeah, Sicks, none of my stuff made the cut. They also decided to drop/merge Historical Unit into Fantasy Unit, so they choose to put up BAM's Blood Reavers and not his vikings. Kind of screwed him out of a trophy.

Sorry for you Flui seems there are some really hard categories... I am still astonished to not see those Terrific Vikings.... They shouldn't merge categories like that, it's a pity!

I don't get it. There was a lot of great entries at the show (I was just there) that are not in the gallery for voting. I guess the judges must go through and vote first, then eliminate a bunch of them? If so, that is a really messed up way to treat people that spent the money to fly here. Kinda ironic that some guy behind me was mumbling to his buddy about me wasting my time taking pictures of the entries when CMON was taking professional pictures and uploading them all. Apparently, they aren't uploading them all - so I am glad I took lots of pictures. My only regret is not telling the asshat off. (my wife was with me and she still thinks I am a gentleman)

Lol! I have only been married five years and my wife has already figured out that I am not a gentleman at times.

They simply don't have the time/manpower to take good photos of every entry, so they make a cut first. If you ask me they're a little...overzealous with that cut, but I'm not there pushing the deadline so I'm probably wrong.

Yeah, they tried to limit it to around 6 or so per category. So in some of the really competitive ones there were great pieces that got left out. I guess some people were surprised by it, but the same thing happened last year and it is in the rules (though you really need to read through them in detail to get to that part... so I understand why some people might have been unaware).

I can only imagine the disappointment from putting all that work in only for it to be cut in the first round 
I understand they have deadlines and such but I disagree with merging historic and fantasy, I think steam punk was under fantasy too, IMO they have different styles of painting and must overcrowd that category, I suppose that's just how these things go but there are some amazing entries in there. I think I've covered the cmon guys for votes now, at least all the ones I've recognised

THANKS EVERYONE-it's cool guys. It really is I'm fine if they had to do that . Yeah it seemingly unjustly cut my Vikings out of a trophy , but in the spirit of comp only 6 entries made into the hist unit . They were looking for much more so they could pick more than 4 finalists.that means only 1 losses and that hard to explain to that 6 th person if four or five made it. Now everybody must be saying , ok well what about prior years where they only picked what they declared was a high standard. Only the Vikings and the gold diggers would have been picke and no third place would again cause arguments. It's as if they'd be saying well "only these two were worth something" so they chose to merge this with the fantasy, only problem , I already had the bloodreavers. So my bust and bloodreavers are finalists. Now the bloodreavers is in the finals with 3 others. IDE put the gold panners and the nurgles 1st and second. I see me and the malifaux crew basically each others equal I might win but I also love that crew and WOULDN'T BE MAD IN THE LEAST . That means I took 4 th out of dozens of quality entries in the unit category. YOU ALL HEARD BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL FINALIST POOL. There were and I counted -18 big names (team Spain, Germany and other box artists) and painters that are not that level but still multi award winning talent , this was 13 painters. That's close to 30 highly proficient painters and all manifesting themselves in 205+ minis of the highest standard. HUUUGE CUTS WERE MADE , and those that were cut and lost I thought many of them WERE THE WINNERS. To make the finals I was shady but what happened to the Vikings I really didn't want to win that way. So to have 2 of my works in a finalist pool in MAJOR categories is an affirmation of how good I am and didn't realize it until then. THIS WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE and I know one thing- I'm never gonna stop because god has blessed me with a talent that won't ever die.
THANK YOU ALL I LOVE EVERY INE OF YOU YOUR ALL GOLDEN GUNS!!!
YOU ALL MAKE THIS - WORTH IT.

I agree, I think getting two entries through to voting is quite an accomplishment. Hopefully we'll have a chance to see more entries in coming days as the artists post their own pics. Really stiff competition, if you bring home a trophy it's certainly something to be proud of!

Yeah to me historic and fantasy painters are two different breeds entirely. But if you don't have enough entries...what do ya do? I expected a lot more entries to look at, personally.
Also, maybe last year was just a treat with Kiril's stratch made Daniel Craig uber space marine and Komet's smoke machine...but I don't see an obvious $10,000 winner. Maybe the samurai? But I may be biased.
i have to also say this if BaM's Blood Reavers. Wow. I didn't realize how cool that base is and the level of craftsmanship on each mini until I really took the time to watch. Obvious winner. Voted. I also just love the group as a whole. They make GW marauders of chaos look like a bunch of pansies.
Good luck guys. BaM text me the final results. I am emailing you my phone number.

REAVERS WON ME A BRONZE, in the toughest crystal brush and toughest contest I've competed in , in 26 years. Over 252 entries overall.. There were close to 30 artist including the biggest names , former slayer sword winners, multi check winners, team Spain, team Germany and everyone else even Sam lens said he has 24 crystal brush trophies and you all probably never even heard of him. Lol so I was psyched to share the finals with all of these guys but when I found I won and placed third (this'd and I've placed at crystal brush the two years I've competed back to back ) so I'm affirmed and a steady crystal brush winner. Mening to me there's no way anyone can say I got lucky.
thank you all for your support and love. I live you all!!!THE BEST Day of my life!!!
And THANK YPU HONEY - Janet .... Ill and always will live you for supporting me !!!! Love you baby!!!
