Finding the Art Master

The painting awards (Master of the Art and Players Choice) is a combination of army painting skill and single model painting skill. I have the great privilege to have two painting judge to work with me in Event Horizon.

• Andrew Lum - an OzPainter regular and renowned model painter.
• Luke Yates – an army painter and owner of The Sound of Machine -  http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sound-of-Machines-Commission-Miniature-Painting/102661163158742

The following was their top four choices,

Andrew	Luke
Shane Sofra – yellow Eldar Vincent Ventsov – checker Orks Glen Behan – Khorne Chee Wong - IG	Vincent Ventsov – checker Orks Shane Sofra – yellow Eldar Glen Behan – Khorne Chee Wong - IG

As you can see Shane’s single models (e.g. Wraithlord, Harlequins) were superb but there were some models that were not as high in quality that made the army look inconsistent. While Vincent’s Orks were of very high quality and consistent throughout his whole army, but there was not a single exceptional model that could match Shane’s effort. 

With both players getting the same points, I have a difficult decision ahead of me. As luck would have it, Shane picked up the players’ choice award which meant I can reward both players with an award.
