Yikes, been off the ball recently, been away and wasn't able to get the picture albums to the Judges before I left. They have the albums now, though, so we will the points totals soon  I'll also be catching up with the Season 7 thread tonight. BTW Electric Hobo I did get the models you sent for the Grab Bag sorry I didn't let you know sooner!

 March Judgment! 3rd Place: Jadebullet, 1pt  When I was a kid, my neighbor had the Mutant Chronicles board game, and I distinctly remember a much smaller, less detailed version of this guy. You did a 10x better job than my 12-year-old self ever did, and I especially love the firey transition from orange to black on the spiked ball. Really good job! 2nd Place: SRM, 2pts  Grot Tanks are some of the coolest poo poo available, and you really got that kind of chaotic mish-mashed look down pat. I want to see you and Germ put your vehicles against each other! 1st Place: Germ, 3pts  I've spoken at length about how much I love your painting technique, and they really shine with your Mad Max-esque vehicles. Bonus Point: Gareth Gobulcoque, 1pt  God drat, dude. God loving drat.

April Judgment! 3rd Place: Arson Fire, 1pt  This is a really tidy paint job, with a good transition on the blue and an eye-catching base. 2nd Place: JAdebullet, 2pts  Heck of a good paint job. The runes especially make it jump out. I like to think I have steady hands, but hot drat! 1st Place: Moths, 3pts  This has a kind of grungy Blanche-like look to it that I find really endearing, and wouldn't look out of place in a 90's White Dwarf. It helps that I love this model and have a copy of my own. Excellent job. Bonus Point: Schmetterling, 1pt  That robot's hat is so

Thanks a ton, Electric Hobo!! I'll collect the winner info into the OP over the weekend, so I can try to start making some sense of who's won what. I know there are a few of you who have been waiting, in the meantime if you haven't heard from me feel free to send a reminder email!

March Judgments! Third Place, 1 Point: Germ  All of your stuff this month is looking good. The red-black contrast on the cloaks here is particularly eye-catching. Second Place, 2 Points: Zark the Damned  You did a great job capturing the look of a wrinkly giant thing. Everything is a consistently muted tone, and the freehand and toenails are especially well done. First Place, 3 Points: Gareth Gobulcoque This is incredible. The contrasting shade, the smoothness of the blends, and highlight placement all are exceptional. Jurnal, 1 Point: Germ  Excellent and creative conversion work on this fleet of models!

April Judgments! Third Place, 1 Point: Ledgem  These guys are looking solid all-around. I love the mimic. Second Place, 2 Points: Schmetterling  The marbling on the stone is looking great. First Place, 3 Points: Electric Hobo  Both the stone walls and the floor are very well done and life-like. Jurnal, 1 Point: Gareth Gobulcoque  This is a very creative technique to apply to a model.

What are the rules of the grab bag? I remember something about big and small prizes, like you could have one big prize or multiple smaller ones. I forget how it was supposed to work.

 MARCH OF JUDGEMENT3rd place (1 point) - thespaceinvader  Super cool! The snarly monster face reads really nicely, and both sides match very well. I like the graphic highlights on the glass, it suggests the reflection of weird cosmic space clouds or such. Even with these pretty bold choices the metallic grime of the engine and wing areas still comes across and helps ground the whole thing. 2nd place (2 points) - Zark the Damned  Diggin this giant pretty hard. The wrinkles and weathering are really selling the idea that he’s probably living outside most of the time. The toenails are great/gross. I like the little goblin a lot, dictating the order of battle from atop his mighty war-buddy (or so he’d like to think). He’s actually a size I’d consider “giant”, rather than the admittedly cool old GW sculpt which is more of an “Andre could probably take him” kinda size. 1st place (3 points) - Gareth Gobulcoque  What an amazing scheme! I think it falls more under “inspiration” if you steal from nature. Anyhow, it’s the application that's winning the day; the blending and the shadows/highlights are excellent, and the colors within them are both naturally and imaginatively placed. Technical challenge point - Germ  Everything in your post is rad and done up in lovely paint jobs, but these cars are just so damned fun. They’re everything that a 10-year-old me could ever want in a horde of rusted-out, drugged-up, probably cannibalistic car-warriors from the inevitable and bloody territorial battles of a death-spiraling humankind.

 APRIL SHOWER OF JUDGEMENT3rd place (1 point) - Jadebullet  This very much honors the respected Chaos tradition of pillaging the hell of out enemy tanks and putting spikes and evil stuff all over them. It’s looking good, well muddied up, the glowy runes are popping out nicely amongst the more subdued colors. In general I particularly like the handled of the deep reds highlighted with orange and playing off some of the other orangey areas too. The fella on the front is brutal!! 2nd place (2 points) - R.S. Gumby  drat, nice. The silver and red are fantastic, very much as splendid as any Roman province could aspire to present. It amazes me that your paint jobs can be so tidy and crisp given the scale, not to mention how simple but effective the schemes are. The fellas with blue shields are definitely worth a mention, they fall in great with the other ranks but those couple of unique colors give them a lot of character. 1st place (3 points) - Moths  Brilliant work, this is a really amazing look. It recalls the classic art very nicely, having a sort of dream-like shimmer that fits those weird old sculpts well (it even helps in taking the gigantic lobster-clawed daemonettes seriously at all). It sounds like it’s quite a lot of work to achieve, but your schemes have a seemingly effortless flow that shows off great subtlety and restraint, and the color choices are superb. Technical challenge point - Signal  I think your experiment must have gone well! This is an example of airbrushing used really nicely I think, in which many of the highlights appear to have been added with a brush later. That’s a great idea, it enables you to bring those smoothly shaded panels back into the same world as the detail parts which have a slightly more painterly feel. I should also mention that your red is stunningly bright and rich!

Holy smokes, thanks a million to the judges for their generous comments (and points!) It's great to be able to look back on all the stuff everyone got done last year. That was a lot of paint! Thanks a million, also, to all the organizers. I know what a colossus pain this can be at times, but the sense of community it builds and the motivation it creates are all well worth it.
