RE: Artisan's Contest XVIII - Voting!Admiral 12-07-2015
I'm busy these weeks and barely found time to launch the voting thread, which explains the shoddier-than-usual MS Paint image edited entries, all done quickly to a prepared template with substandard care. Just wanted to get it done and share the entries with you quickly before I'm too occupied again for much of this week. Don't want to leave you waiting.
Please tell if you can't view the attachments.
Also, we in the Staff have realized that the advent of Age of Sigmar and the popularity of Kings of War means that rules for basing and base sizes will be loosened.
As someone quite lousy with rules (not least wargame rules!) one aim with running these contests was to get into that mindset and tackle problems as they come up, since it can be a valuable experience for other areas of life and work. Part of this effort has consisted in tweaking the rules to improve them, and part has consisted of keeping up with the rules established by other Staff members here on CDO. After all, the rules probably have a good reason of careful consideration and experience for being there in the first place.
In short, there is a reason one of the entries have a vase glued to the side of the base rather than on top of it, and still are allowed into the contest even though it would not necessarily have been allowed previously. We'll see about similar things in the future, but my attempts to explain the limits of the basing guidelines were, on closer consideration, a misleading hindrance to the particular entry and I apologize. Noted for rules tinkering: Less base restrictions in the future. 
I'll be away now for much of this week, but wanted to say that all entrants made a hell of a job! The creativity and quality on show is impressive. You should all be proud of your work! 
Hope to finish the started big hat daemon-grenadier entry of mine sometime next year.
Also...

To all of entrants. Nicely done! Some great character ideas brought to life with skillful modelling. I too thought there were going to be more entries.
Though we are missing the flamethrowing Chaos Dwarf flautist suspended from the front of an Iron Daemon... an idea for next time...

Thanks Admiral for getting this up so quickly.
Some great thematic ideas that have been created.
To be honest I haven't seen the Mad Max Re-make, but it doesn't matter where you get your ideas from.
And I guessed about right for the number of entries. 7 isn't too bad considering the damage GW and AoS has done to us.

Out of interest, to those who entered, did anyone have trouble only writing 25 words? I really wanted to write more and even my condensed versions were about 30 long lol.

Much the same here. I was able to par it down but lost some flavour and flair from it.

I was trimmed down to a minimum as well, and had to leave out some of the detail to keep it at 25 words. Still, the essential part is there.

Awesome entries, guys! 
Yes, fitting within 25 word limit was challenging, I must say.)
Thank you for hosting this contest, it was really fun participating!
Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

Okay, my votes are in.
This was harder to choose than I thought. The theme of what the model was or did was the clincher

I think I was a bit tipsy yesterday as I don't remember doing this.
