I thought the roses were great. I was sure that had you spent more time highlighting the flowers you would have placed. It surely deserved to make cut just from the sheer detail of the conversion.

Nice work! Do you have any pics of it? And have you gone back to finish the painting?

I would like to repaint the armor and highlight the roses, but I\'m not sure when I\'ll get to it. Sorry I don\'t have any good pictures at the moment. I tried taking pictures shortly after gamesday, but got frustrated with the photgraphic process and haven\'t tried again yet, which is why I don\'t have a gallery here yet. Figuring out how to take better pics is on my to do list. (Photos are really good at revealing flaws in paint jobs, so it\'s possible my photos are fine and I\'m just in denial lol )

My wife was kind enough to let me put off several domestic projects until after Gamesday so that I could paint. So when I\'ve been doing anything, it\'s been working on finishing our basement bathroom. My kids were also nice enough to bring home Strep throat from day care and share it with me After I get the bathroom finished I want to paint some stuff for a local contest(in October) and I\'d rather not recycle my Gamesday stuff. Then back to taking photos.

I guess I\'m biased as I got to see it in person, but I think your elf should be scoring 9+.

Marco Columbo, Valten or Flora. I loved the Flora entry.

I also entered Fantasy siungle but had really no chance of even making the cut, and in the end wasn\'t even considered but did overhear a few people talking about my entry with generally positive things to say.

Mine, if anyone was wondering was the Blood Dragon based off the Archaon model. The really red one.

Either way, hopefully I\'ll have better luck next year.

Mine was the guy with all the roses(it\'s converted from the Slaanesh champion). I didn\'t finish converting him until Wednesday afternoon, and so I was a bit lazy with the painting. Still happy with his overall appearance though. At least I probably set a record for most flowers ever on one mini.

One of my favourites for sheer creativity. I though it should have placed over the Bretonnian simply because the frehand on the Knight\'s banner was, shall I say stiff. Well painted yes but the banner was too much of an outstanding flaw to me to have it be awarded a trophy.
