Spoiler: It's Stuart.
Surprising exactly noone, Stuart's (nearly) unassailable lead was propelled into the skullosphere by his final post containing such skullicious delights as the wall of skullz:
Stuart has destroyed PaulO'G's record of 543 with a whopping 1363 Skullz! Stuart is now entitled to use PaulO'G's skull as a drinking vessel or dice cup.
Stuart's fiendish strategy was to paint squillions* of GW models which had the synergistic effect of putting him at the top of the leader board in two Side Duels. You don't get to sit on the Throne of Skullz by saying, "You know what? I've probably got enough skullz."
46 of the 84 Challengers painted at least one Skull- well done! The total Skull tally is a pleasing 3814.
Here are the Skulltastic Centurions who splashed pigment on over 100 skullz:
- Stuart 1363
- Barks 502
- NickJ 265
- MikeW 256
- KyleC 200
- Millsy 181
- PaulO'G 159
- SanderS 120
- PaulS 104

Congratulations to all Skull Duellists; the AHPC is always fun and a side duel spices things up. The Skull-o-meter™, Skully McSkullface, is now going to give his circuits a chance to cool down.

As the quote goes, "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." I think I probably achieved one of those things here, though I guess opinions may differ as to which one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for running this duel Barks, my apologies to Skully McSkullface for all the pressure I put him under. Next year we should aim to crack the 4000 skull target.
Better start getting some terrain in!
DeleteCongratulations to all! Some mighty numbers there!

That claim might be true, except that all renowned phrenologists agree that the lesser quality Northern Hemisphere skulls are only one third the quality of the superior Southern hemisphere noggin. As such, in seasonally adjusted skullz, my record remains intact.
Overall, the competitive yet comradely approach to the harvesting skullz was a most excellent little side diversion - thanks to all!
To be clarify, its the relative scarcity and lack of pollution that gives southern noggins their value, not their contents :-)
DeleteIt’s the way the dice rattle in bone that makes using them such a delight.
DeleteSuperb - I doff my virtual cap to your most impressive "cranium count"
ReplyDeleteOnce you start to notice them, they’re everywhere...
DeleteSkulltastic! Well done everyone and thanks Barks for manning the Skull-o-meter with such deadication (sic).
ReplyDeleteIt was a hobby until it became a duty.
DeleteGreat job fellas! Just goes to show it's what's inside (or in this case just under the skin) that counts. And thanks for giving the Hobgob Chieftain "Skull of the Week" honours. I have to admit even though I painted it, I was still surprised by the skull count on that model!
ReplyDeleteCitadel started something early and never let up!
DeleteWow, you counted every skull? Do you have a chart of the effect on the GW share price?
ReplyDeleteThere’s a direct correlation.
DeleteSome skull tastic skullduggery all around.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Peter!
DeleteThanks heaps for keeping track mate it has been great fun!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Sander!
