Throne of Skulls March 2014 - Winners

Can't help but show this beauty off again but given it's mainly about me [although it probably features more of Liam!] I'll add this post as an extra.

Yep that's me, my trophy, my nomination certificate and 'Pablo' the beard, I look knackered! That's 6 months of midnight bed times and painting/making Tyranid bio-forms.

My Thrones name badge.

Outside of the trophy box

The Trophy in front of my bread bin?!

Nomination Certificate

The end of the tournament message.

Best army list award goes to...

Liam with his updated Chaos Space Marine Helmet.

Nick giving Liam his prize.

The obligatory winner photos for the now missing Facebook page :(

Hero of Legend goes to Richard Matthews.

Liam gets Beast of Legend.

Liam gets his second award...

...and halfway to getting his photo taken again has to go back and claim his third!

For his Hellfly, Helldrake.

And gets to pull the obligatory 'smug bugger' face ;)

And then wins best Chaos Space Marine Player!

And gets to do it all again!

Here are all the best army nominees

Not sure how I ended up in the middle, Otty's there at the front.

I cough, [Scott took these pictures]

We look over at Nick as he whips the crowd into a frenzy of anticipation.

I'm just happy to be nominated, honest.

"And the winner is..."

"Dave's Tyranids" Who's Dave Tyranids? Oh, my Tyranids!

I'm left by the others, just a little stunned.

Nick gets the Trophy.

And I really can't believe it.

I didn't quite realise this was the prize.

And that's my 'smug bugger' face.

What can I say, I hoped to win but I strongly believed that you can't call these things. There are 100+ competitors who are all looking for something different. Some want absolute perfection some want whistles and bells. There's no guarantee so I'm truly grateful for all those that voted for me. I would have said this on the Warhammer World Facebook group but as it's gone I'll have to do it here. Thanks every one, you've made all the hard work worth while

Throne of Skulls March '14 - Best Army Nominees

The best army Nominees and first up Lemon painting's Imperial Knight army complete with LED eyes. 

Absolutely awesome, go check out their Facebook page for more of their commission work

Next up Proiteus and his Rebel Gretchin run as Imperial Guard.

These guys are full of character.

With plenty of scratchbuilds

And kitbashes

Check out the Bell of Lost Souls log of his work.

Love this watch tower on the Aegis.

The whole army.

An uber clean Iyanden army

There was debat amongst my mates as the the effectiveness of the green glow on the windows but personally I liked it.

Iron Warriors, to which my Genestealer head will be added and I will be adding one of their heads. Check out the rest of the army.

This Nurgle army also got nominated, love compartmentalised movement tray - gotta have a system!

Some crazy mutations going on and old skool Rhinos.

Otty's nids.

Nick from the events actually thought these were White Dwarf Editor Jes Bickham's when Otty entered one of the Tyrannofex in the Monstrous Creature competition.

Liam's award winning Chaos Marines.

The Scratchbuilt Shadow Sword that he didn't get to use or even enter in the painting competition

And my Nids, I had to take the towers off to make it fit, have to say I was both cursing and giggling first thing on Sunday morning testing to see if I could fit it in. Such a relief that it just made it.

It's like it's a little Armies on Parade board.

I suppose it does look kind of impressive.

That's your lot folks, winners next.
