GOLDEN TOM 2008 - Winners

Subject: GOLDEN TOM 2008 - Winners Wed 15 Oct 2008 - 23:50

Hello and welcome to the very first
HALL OF FAME
on TBMF!

Here you will find all the entries from Tom's Boring Mordheim Competition #1 and the immortalised winners of the
Golden Tom award 2008.

Congratulations to the three winners of this competition and a HUGE THANK YOU to all the participants for their hard work. It wouldn't have been possible if every single one of you hadn't done his very best. It was very difficult to choose the top 3 amongst so many great submissions - the need for a Knock-Out Round speaks for itslef - but nevertheless is was an immense pleasure and privilege to host such an exciting competition.

My very special thanks also go out to the fantastic members of the jury who have supported me and the project with great enthusiasm and allowed me to bug them with continuous streams of emails.

Without further ado, please allow me to proudly present the winners!

Golden Tom

Congrats and thanks to all who participated!

There were several models that really spoke to me in this comp (not literally - I havent racked up that many insanity points yet) and that I thought were really nice.

Skavenblight's Marianna Cheveaux -I believe this was a very well handled miniature
paintjob, the fabrics are very nice and the colour contrasts are
dramatic. I think the scheme fits this swashbuckiling model well. My favorite paintjob in the comp for the way the fabrics were handled and the colour contrasts

Footofadhesivetape's Necromancer - This piece has the most incredible theme
and atmosphere of all the pieces in the comp. Having done source
lighting myself I know this is a great technical challenge piece as
well. I personally would have like to have seen more done with muted
tones through the rest of the body - though for the sake of increasing the
drama the way it has been done was excellent - a very deeserving winner indeed!.

Underbheit's Posessed magister - I like the smooth paint style, the colour contrasts and depth of the red hues. It is also a well themed mini evoking Khornate iconography and colours. Great paintjob + great conversion/modelling = Kick @$$ = win

Underbheit's Necromancer - the sword is great and the model
interesting - It screams necromancer, has a great face and is just
generally cool

Again well done to all winners and participants! I look forward to the next contest (i might even get off my lazy butt and do something for it !!!!

Thanks tkkultis,

OMG!!!1!11!!1shift!! I walked the dog today, and when I got back at my door, a person gave me a package. when I got in and opened it, I found a Beautifuly painted mini, wrapped in (A LOT) of bubble plastic. A magister casting Dark Blood, of which I can't believe it didn't take the first prize! (IT LOOKS SOOOO GOOD irl, even better then on the pics!)

Thanks A LOT for this AWESOME mini Underbeith!

Translation for those who may have missed the last episode: Matt is happy because Underbheit sent his (bronze) entry to Matt as a present, and Matt just got the parcel today.

Of course this raises the following question:

Who will Cianty and Footofadhesivetape send their entries to? scratch

Here's a suggestion: to the event organiser maybe? geek
