The Votes are In for the 'Risk Taker' Theme Round!

Well, here we are at the conclusion of our final theme round, the overarching theme to this year's Challenge: 'Risk Taker'.

We had a record number of both entries and responses for this round, which gives a good indication of the fevered work and creative imaginations of the participants.

So, not to tarry, the runners up to the podium are:

Alex's incredibly creative 'Cards, Dice, Chess and a Smoking Gun'

Michael's beautifully painted homage to Mad Max with his, 'Woops Apocalypse!'

and Byron's cute but disturbing 'Moratorian'. Great work, all of you.

In Third Place we have a tie between Sidney's unflappable and foppish 'The Flemish Cavalier' 

...and Stephen's hard-bitten western rider, 'Pony Express'. Both Sid and Stephen will receive 25 bonus points for their beautiful work. Well done lads.

In Second Place we have Millsy with his bonkers 'Nothing Ventured...'

Millsy will receive an additional 50 points for this wonderfully mad vignette. (I very much look forward to beaming figures back and forth using the 'Patented Energetic Transmutation Capsules'.) :)

And to conclude, in First Place, I'm happy to announce that Anne's 'Extraordinary Ladies' has taken the gold.

Anne will receive 75 bonus points AND a gift certificate from Kawe's 'Westfalia Miniatures.' Stunning work Anne, congratulations!

I want to give my deepest thanks to the participants of not only this round, but of all six of the Bonus Theme Rounds this year. It was your talents, wonderful sense humour and hard work that made these rounds such a highlight of the Challenge.

Now, back to conclude the final hours of AHPC VI...
