WAYPN 4,000 Post Celebration & Awards
October 25, 2016 by crew
The wonderful caladors has put together a celebration of all things What Are You Painting Now? giving a nice nod to all those involved in the thread, getting us to showing off our painting - no matter how good or bad we might be!
Cutting things down to three categories you can vote and give some deserving kudos to those who have created some wonderful pieces inspiring us to paint more models. Find the thread itself HERE.
Best Painted Miniature
This is whittled down to those who have gotten ten or more likes on their entries into the forum thread. With eighteen entries here each of them has more than deserved their placing and it's up to you to pick your favourites.
Best Scenic Shot
With thirty-three entries in this category, it was all about focusing on what people contributed to the thread and the quality of the photography too; placing the miniatures in an interesting surrounding.
Best Contributor
Quite simply a vote for who you think has contributed to the thread the most over the past few months. This doesn't just mean posting images but also giving feedback and encouraging others to share their work.
Most Improved
This is the final category and involves you messaging caladors and letting him know who has improved the most. This could be in their painting skill, contributions to others posts, photography quality or something else entirely.

Holy cow guys! Thank you so much I was just doing this to try and give back to the people in the thread.
Thanks for the big boost
No worries, a worthy cause 🙂
Thanks Man 🙂
An epic project, a blockbuster competition, and a great community. 😀
Thanks, not sure it is that epic ha ha, just wanted to give back to the people who keep the thread as vibrant as it is. I want people to know that there work has been noticed and I hope this has done this just a little.
Gee, now that he’s showing up on doorsteps (finally), the Warren Johnston special figure from Slaughterball should be a topic, especially painted by Warzan himself (or Roman in a tutorial).
good show:-)
I did vote 🙂 Have you?
I hope to see a lot of people voting, it would be awesome if everyone that voted followed this one up 😀
OMG! I’m so humbled to be included in the list for best painted miniature. I don’t stand a chance against the rest of those talented people. I’ve already learned so much since my submission. Maybe next year I’ll have something I’m extra proud of.
Congrats to all the amazing people who have their work featured. Well done!
Don’t think that the race is super close, super super close, Even between the very top and very bottom, there is only a difference of about I believe 2.5 which is 25%, but that is insanely close for the number of entries. And don’t be humbled you were included because you made it, by the peoples choice 🙂
WOW the standards of the painting is phenomenal folks.
voted.
Thanks 😀
Because of people like @caladors and @happyhowler I got back into painting. I’m not kidding as I gave up painting for some time, but was inspired by them and others drive to paint cool models.
I am really glad to hear this, this was part of my goal 🙂 You have to post of more of your demon pig riders soon 😀 Or something less weird ha ha, I pretty sure anything will be less weird but yeah I am glad to hear that 🙂
Is there a possibilty of getting a list of the competitors separately so we can look at them before we vote? I am on my back after knee surgery and the machinaions of switching back and forth between windows on an iPhone while on my back are beyond my ken.
It will be up for a little while til next week so it’s alright there is a while to go yet 🙂
I don’t think that Wildchevy guys knows how to paint. He barely posts stuff.
I don’t know his just a good guy, or that’s what I heard 😉
