The girl with the gas mask is really good, but the flames of war German convoy is my choice of those first pictures. Its not as technical or complicated as the NMM Stormcast or that girl, but the overall picture just works, with the landscape and so in placing it in context. Very effective.

In the first group, the bust of the armoured guy with red and white… is that supposed to be rain falling on him? A very difficult thing to portray in miniature.

The legion fellblade looked really clean from a distance but up close the weathering and subtle shading was amazing, the Night Haunter was epic too

Hi guys! Finally recovered enough to log on 🙂 so, the Painter I couldn’t remember is Andy Wardle, who ended up winning with the fellblade. Judging, well I can tell you from a Birdseye veiw that it was TOUGH, each judge had guidance notes on, technique, atmosphere etc. (If I told you the details we could all me finalists next year… The judges are very open in their comments and gave me some useful tips on improving my painting style, like making them higher contrast and enphasiing shading.
