Salute 2017 Live Blog
The Stage Is Set For The Painting Competition
The lights are up, judges are ready, and traders are starting to fill the cabinets with their entries.
Last year was a resounding success and this year will be no exception, as entrants and winners from Golden Demon, various Slayer Sword winners, Monte San Savino, Euromillitaire, The Fang, Hussar, and other esteemed contestants will be in attendance to compete as well as with the likes of you and me the average tabletop wargamer. (ps. I haven't entered)
It’s a serious business but also a bit of fun for anyone at Salute to enter. With this in mind they have introduced a couple of new things this year to push the competition to new heights.
There is a Best of Show Trophy which will be awarded to the winner and they also get to take away with a paid for flight and transfers to enter Chicago’s CoolMiniOrNot in 2017, for the Crystal Brush competition.
I need to find a talentless painting contest, and I’d still be guaranteed to lose.
We need to enter the Drinking while painting contest
One day I will enter this once my painting skills have improved considerably.
I love the orc pirate boat
Yeah, the orc pirate boat is sooo amazing
Yes. It’s staggering!
Always impressed by the quality paint jobs. Orc pirate ship looks ace and gives me ideas for fantasy pirate games 🙂
That Sherman Platoon looks great.
Loving that pirate ship!
would so like to see them closeup
Looks like it’s going to be a tight competition.
Must not view the entries and cry over my lackluster painting skills
these competitions are both inspiring and disheartening …. well done guys
Pirate ship is cool.
Goddamn people with talent! 😀
very impressive stuff as ever, good to see
wow it should be good as ever!
In my head:
Image 2: Good
Image 3: Nice!
Image 4: oh cool
Image 5: Whaaat?!? Crazy Goblin pirate ship, complete with random Octopus collected on the prow?!? Win! Win! Give that one a prize!
Lol
That greenskin pirate ship is amazing. I’d love to see something that could beat that one.
man I love painting competions.
Great pirate ship.
Yes yes, but who is the big dude guarding the trophies?
The pirate greenskin boat is fantastic.
Surprised there are no aliied stars on the shermans though. Maybe they should check the crew for a german accent.
You have to be incredibly good or brave to enter one of these today….
Dis gon’ be guud!
Dammit I need more time to paint!
Amazing paint jobs, can’t wait to see more of the competition pieces.
