Lead Painters League Season 9 - the race is run!

[Elk101]

A huge well done to all who took part and a large dose of congratulations to the Admiral, the Captain and the Dr.

[Dr Mathias]

Congrats to the participants, Captain Blood, and the Admiral. Thanks to the organizers, especially those who also participated

Competitive crop of entries this year, lots of tough choices. I'll have to go back through and see what the overall trends were. Less Cthulhu-esque stuff in general?

[Freelancer]

Good Show Everybody! As for trends, Cave People, and early 20th century Pulp seemed to pop a lot this year.

[Dolmot]

Blimey, made it ultimately to the top ten after being administered a few good clobberings in the beginning. It's a damn tight race there too - five guys within three points.

One of the fascinating things about LPL is that even after several years of participation and/or watching, I still come across completely unexpected subject matters. Almost every subforum tends to get at least some representation here. That always manages to inspire.

Special achievement awards go to:

• Lt. Hazel and Bugsda for scoring top-ten-worthy amounts of wins despite being incapacitated for several rounds.
• Bibbles for third highest vote points. You should consider the bonus themes too. ;)
• Thargor, Nord and Curt for their equal win-loss ratio and exactly 50 vote points, only getting separated by bonus points.
  
• 16 painters scoring full bonus points by jumping through every possible theme and new team hoop.

But don't worry too much about the results. To me, this is pretty much the only reason to participate (well, maybe also providing free entertainment and learning something new every time):



Then a moment of silence in memory of those who gave everything. :'(



And then back to those conga rats. :) Something special for the anniversary year? Ten figure teams? lol

[Mason]

Another wonderful splurge of top quality eye-candy offered up by all.
Great to ogle from the sidelines.
 


Well done all!
 

[Ray Rivers]

Well done everyone!

A special hat tip to the Admiral. That was some seriously awesome painting, terrain and photos!

[warburton]

Congratulations to the winner, placers, and all who took part. It was an excellent LPL and I looked forward to it every week!

[Chambersofminiatures]

Congratulations to the winners and all that participated this year!

[Neldoreth]

Congrats guys, thanks for putting in the effort and bringing it together. It was a great show!

Sad that it's already over :/

Thanks

[Braxandur]

Congratulations to especially the top three, but also the rest of you who participated, making it again a memorable run for me.
Many thanks also to the Prof and the Captain for running the show.

I'll have a bit of rest now, but hope to be back again next year for the 10 year anniversary

[Vanvlak]

Conga rats to all, especially the top three, and many thanks to all involved in the organization especially the good Captain. Dolmot, I like that group photo - both actually. Wish I'd kept the casualties for a pic like that too, although in my case a pile of empty Guinness tins would have obliterated anything else from view. 

Something for the 10th edition - no, PLEASE not 10 models per round! - we really needs an album of out-takes, photos which went bad, group photos, WIP photos, cat photos etc.  - probably best compiled after the event.

[Tactalvanic]

Congratulations to all, and a big thanks for showing and sharing your work

Really great stuff, and wish I could match up to the skills shown here every year.

 

[Michi]

Thank you very much fellow competitors, administrators and spectators alike for that jolly good show! I suppose I will not reach an equal production quantity during the rest of the year and I´m happy of having contributed a new entry to every single round. 

[valleyboy]

Well done and a thank you to all who took part for entertaining and wowing us with such excellent efforts. Particular congratulomatationisms to the big three

[Driscoles]

Thanks to Mum, Dad, God and all people who believed in me. 

Great job of all participants who made this event so entertaining.

Thank you
Cheers
