Here is a selection of the Historical Single Figure category, my favorite is the "black ops" guy
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.
Very nice, looking forward to seeing them in the flesh (or plastic, resin, metal and acrylic) when I get there.
this is something i would like to see in person 8). Awesome
The steampunk guy is very nice, not sure what scale he is
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.
Yes, I believe it was clear plastic rod or glass… Looked really cool

Congratulation for Ruben Torregrosa, I still remember his tips about weathering tanks… Really deserved prize 😉
Not sure if others saw it but I loved the Tooth Fairy.
WOW they all look great.
those are awesome..congrats to the winners!
Wow, as a speedy painter who just reaches tabletop level I can just admire those breathtaking pieces of art…awesome!
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
Very Nice

Hi @badula, it doesn’t, but with 40k being the most popular sci- f.i game,

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. It was great to cover it for a second year and @brennon… Read more »
@peachey awesome coverage matey, given the amount of time you spent at the laptop blogging this for everyone was amazed you got to see the rest of the show!
Cracking work, and if i dont bump into you before then, see you at salute 2017 🙂
@Nakchak I missed most of the rest of the show 🙁 I had about 30 mins to myself all day… but well worth it!
The flying monk is great!
That viking on the throne would look nice on my shelf
