Who won?

Is there a thread somewhere with winners etc?

I\'ve had a scout about but can\'t find anything.
Keen to know who scooped what.

Most details and pics are on the \"To all those entering GD UK\" thread on General Discussion.

Lots of demons went to CMON members, great day... never seen so many entries at any event... there were between three and six cabinets per category!!! Incredible, can\'t wait for next year.

Huge congrats to all the winners - as has already been said especially the Spanish guys and Vincenti\'s big guys. (I backed the slayer winner as soon as I saw it)

My first ever visit and SO chuffed to get a finalists badge in 40k single and have my model (imperial fist) right at the front of the shelf just under the top 3! :D

I smiled all the way home - well at least until I got stuck in a traffic jam on the M11...

Basically I just took a load... most came out rubbish to be fair.

Some came out really well though and I think it\'s just the times I wasn\'t getting in the way of the camera doing its thing.

Nikon D3
Nikon SB-600 Flash
Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Micro set at f/22

Heavy and expensive but right nice!

Great job guys...can\'t wait to see photos of everything!!! From what I heard, Nano won the sword this year! If so great job! He is one of my favorite painters!!!
 
well its 3 in the afternoon on monday and im finally home...ive not seen a bed since thursday night and 3 nights combined of trying to sleep in a tent, on a bus and then on a freinds floor with my head next to her rat cage (her rat has a cold and was snuffling all night) has left me rather tired. it was good fun though, but next year im getting a lighter paint box to take with me, my frog box was heavy and the handle keptfalling off.

it was really nice meeting all you guys, though i didnt get introduced to everyone.
seeing that carnosaur mini in the hotel was just increadible... though i think the general opiinion is that i sculpt better then i paint lol. Ah well i went knowing i wouldnt get anything so its all good.

ive learned a few things and ive got my flying hive tyrant to put together now/....though im contemplating converting him to look a bit more scarred and battleworn.
im definately getting one of those forgeworld changer of ways minis when it comes out next year.

the standard of minis there was pretty damn impressive and im not surprised that i didnt place...ah well theres always next year, ive got time to learn.

has the hotel group photo been uploaded anywhere?
