Title: The Theodoric Memorial Prize 2014
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on May 12, 2014, 07:44:31 AM: Every tradition needs a name. Our tradition, founded by an anonymous LAF member who every year sponsors prizes for three of his favorit entries in the Round Five, now has got a name. Theodoric Memorial Prize. I was asked not to explain why this particular name had been chosen. I can imagine that some of you would get that hint and would be able to track the story back to the founder. Well, in this case, just keep it to yourself.

And here we go with the winners of the Theodoric Memorial Prize 2014 (in no particular order), with the comment of the sponsor himself:

Neldoreth
"My goodness, what's not to like, lovely freehand, smooth blending, nice simple setting that shows off the figures, perfect!"

Steam Flunky
"Beautiful painting, lovely setting. LPL just as it should be"

Captain Blood
"The Captains wonderful painting style balanced beautifully with excellent photography and staging"

As usual the winners are free to pick up one of Lead Adventure Miniatures packs (http://www.lead-adventure.com) for free. Just check the LAM site and let me know (PM please) which pack you would like to receive. I'll take care of the rest then.

In the memory of Theodoric, a true friend and companion.

Thank you.

Thanks Alex, and to our mystery sponsor.
I shall take a look at the LAM site and see if I can spot a future LPL team for me in there ;)

Thanks again.
