We have the first Minion's Choice Award of Challenge XIII to be awarded today. At the end of the first month, Curt takes a poll among the Minions for their picks as the best post so far.
There was an awful lot of really good work and it was hard to pick a single worthy entry from the month. After much negotiations, blackmailing and assorted dirty tricks the voting results have come in.
First a couple of honourable mentions
Dallas' Massive Reaver Battle Titan
DaveD's Apocalypse Now Themed PBR
And the winner is
DarrellH's wonderful Thematic Byzantines. Congratulations to our regular Monday poster Darrell who earlier today brought us something from the same era but from both the other end of Europe and the other end of the military hierarchy.
Curt has authorized me to award Darrell the prize of a subscription to Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy magazine.
The choice was difficult, indeed. I guess it will only get harder...
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I feel quote privileged just to take part in the
DeleteChallenge :)
There were so many great submissions in the list we ended up with that voting was very difficult.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Darrell, Dave and Dallas! :)
Congrats! Guess I need to paint MOAR next time to make the cut 😏🤣

DeleteGreat choice- stunning work from Darrell, I doubt there's a better painter here or anywhere else for that matter - a real standout I think, commiserations to Dallas and Dave on being so close but very well done for getting to the podium with so many other competitive entries. Best wishes guys

DeleteNice choice - congratulations!
