Great, just started painting, and already I don't like the way it's going... oh, and noticed some flaws in my GS work... oooooh, the pressure!

Haha, and I thought, it was ME who was trailing the crowd

Considering the swashbuckling nature of Mordheim Adventures, I think you & the Warboss are into the True Spirit of the Contest...extra points for acting in character should be in order here.

We'll all love what you come up with, Ezekiel...you are your harshest critic. Oh look, thirty seconds went by while you read this.  

, ....so exciting, only 2 days to go, muahahaha....., the pressure becomes unbearable.......

Fear not, Morghot...I'm sure we won't be as critical of your creation as you are; AND you still have 34 hours & 5 minutes...34 hours & 4 minutes & 50 second...

....well, i´ll be!

Photos sent!! You must be critical, it's your duty  unfortunately

Obviously there is some green stuff work, it's a must have for my mordheim's work!

The photos like always sucks, since my old photocamera died it's a pain/affliction for me take photo with the new one... but i think i've already annoyed you with this story   ... can't wait to see all the entries!!

Judging for a contest like Tom's is much different than for something like C.M.o.N. or G.W.. While artistry is important, originality, imagination, & a touch of humor are the things that are looked for. It's the spirit of the piece that move judgement.

As a Fellow Victim of the contrary nature of Cameras, you may tell me your tales of photographic woes as often as you would care to AND have an understanding audience ready to commiserate with you.  
Beyond seeing all the Works of Wonder, what I'm really looking forward to is posting them for you all to enjoy.  

finished my miniature yesterday, but because of bad light i only got bad pictures. Now i´m waiting for the sun to take better one´s.

Boom! Actually managed to paint a miniature, gotta take some photos after lunch and send them.

Too bad that I didn't paint for a few years and all the skills came back now that I am finished and don't have time for another miniature, haha

HOORAY! TWO MORE WORKS OF WONDER! WELL DONE, opaque & Eliazar!  

And it's off! thanks for organising this competition guys! good luck with judging, and I cannot wait to see the results!

Aaaaand - it's gone! Took me two mails.

I feel exactly the same, but the most important part for me is that now I finally want to paint another mini and will be doing so tomorrow.

CONGRATULATIONS on making he deadline with time to spare, Ezekiel & Grimscull! AND finding your drive to paint is a big bonus, Grimscull; enjoy the next piece & the ones after that.

The idea & the motivation can be credited to SerialMoM & floedebolle. The trophy itself is floedebolle's FANTASTIC creation. AND those entering can claim credit for its success.  

Great guys, looking forward to see all your entrys, will be a pleasure to me! Imagine all those little mordheim beauties, AND, i have to mention it, the most important here at GT2014 is to participate, and as al wrote, its no CMON competition, or a golden demon. Its more than that, its the biggest thing since the last GT that this forum of morheim enthusiasts had, and every entry will be oozing of love and devotion to the mordheim hobby, and thats exactly what this is about.

SO, having said this, i look forward to get the chance to judge all those entries soon, together with the other judges, and to me those are going to be the best christmas presents that i had and will have in along time, thanks all for your effort taken to deliver your mini to this great thing, and may the most mordheimian mini win, Adios!

Is there still time? I had an issue with camera and none of my previous pictures worked out. Taking more just now if it's not too late.

You still have a quarter of an hour...I think Tom would let it go if you were a few minutes late. Tell him I said so.  

Thanks Deafnala. Trying to crop and resize as quickly as I can!

No problem, cat! I P.Med Tom to let him now you were a couple of minutes behind time & that I said it was okay.  

Much appreciated! Email has been sent.

Can't wait to see everybody's entries. Really looking forward to the awesome models.

While we're at it - WHEN will we see the entries and winners? Only found the 20th as deadline but no date for the "award-season".

Indeed! Same here, and that's why I am already happy I participated, I forgot how much I enjoy painting. Perhaps I can get some more warbands done now, hehe

Hi guys!

Many thanks for all the submissions! I am very grateful for your time and enthusiasm! GT2014 is shaping up to be very cool!

I will be compiling all entries I have received so far and anonymizing them for the jury. Because this process takes a while and because I know that some of you have been working hard on their submissions without making the deadline, I am extending the deadline to december 30th!

Meaning that you are still welcome to send in your works until december 30th (midnight) and your entries will be considered with no disadvantage.

I understand that the pre-Xmas holiday period can be a stressful time and it would be a shame to pass on some beautiful entries for GT'14 just because some people were missing a few days to submit their work.

I hope that those of you who HAVE made the deadline will be good sports and be OK with this. Of course, if you have already submitted but would like to improve some details and REsubmit your work, please feel free to do so! Only your latest submission will be considered.

So finish that greenstuff work, this paintjob and send in your beautiful pictures to tomspaintingservice@gmail.com!

AT

Hear hear!Sounds fair to me, will also mean more nice minis to behold, great!
