@torros I’d third what @somegeezer and @blinky465 have said, the more children causing chaos and spreading fear the better!

@gorram I vote for the Scooby Doo entry – like, zoinks, @blinky465 !!!

I ran out of time. I had the new Warhammer+ model box, and thanks to my Eldar commission, did nothing with it.

Final day for submissions today.  Good luck to everyone who is finishing off their entry.  Well done to everyone who has had a go this month and congratulations to those who managed to finish something.  This could be our busiest month for completed entries.

I got bored, thought I would have a go at a poll, bah silly idea adverts everywhere, I made a Google form instead, no sign it etc https://forms.gle/tajzTYR8nMAkNh8W6

Thank you @Lazagram I definitely was going to do it and hadn’t in fact forgotten until now 🙂 I like the format.

Some great entries again this month, good luck everyone!

[zoidpinhead 12765xp 1]

That’s probably enough time for voting now.  @Lazagram who won?

[Lazagram 116xp 1]

I have left the honour to the presiding winner, @gorram, who has the results sheet 🙂

Sorry for the delay folks, might be in the minority but I don’t get on the site every day. The vote can be found here so everyone can check the numbers but our winner for this month is….

A DEAD HEAT (appropriate for the season I guess). Our two winners are @blinky465 and @horati0nosebl0wer

Congratulations to you both; now let the fight to the death commence!

There’s only one way we can sort this out @horati0nosebl0wer… and that’s Rock,  Paper, Scissors,  right?

3… 2… 1

Paper.

Shotgun! I, sir, am an American. We have upgraded the game (really its a UK site). Then again I’ve heard of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.. ok anti spam filter limits to two links

In an effort to break the deadlock before we run out of month (and because I was interested in what it would say), I asked AI (ChatGPT) to make a judgement between the two winning entries.  It said:

🏆 Verdict:
The second miniature (skeleton with tree) is the better-painted one from a technical and artistic standpoint. It demonstrates stronger use of lighting, texture, composition, and basing — all key marks of advanced miniature painting.

So according to our soon to be AI Overlords – @horati0nosebl0wer is the winner, congrats.  Commiserations to @blinky465

Congrats, both of you, that was some intense competition, so many entrants and outstanding quality 🙂

So is it a joint theme, dual themes or one word each for next month?

[danlee 22808xp 0]

Congratulations @horati0nosebl0wer and @blinky465

 

If you both put forward a word or theme for next month, we could get some interesting interpretations.

[horati0nosebl0wer 20472xp 1]

As suggested by @danlee I think that a solution the likes of the 1939 film Gulliver’s Travels is in order.

The resolution of the conflict between Lilliput and Blefuscu comes in the form of combining the songs “Faithful” and “Forever” so one word from each of us to make the theme would be interesting.

What say you @blinky465 ?

[blinky465 17208xp 1]

That sounds like a plan.

I’m currently in the magical city of Noto, Sicily, where the weather is magical and I’m performing street magic for tourists.

My word is magical.
