I think there is prejudice towards subject matter that people favour. Usually this isn't a GW game or product. I personally prefer post-apoc models over historical models, for example
GW's models are often very good, occasionally superb and sometimes dire, but I wouldn't vote against them because they are GW sculpts, just as I wouldn't vote for a bad Perry figure ( if I ever find one ).
I think a bonus tound based of figures of a single manufacturer is a bad idea because it might set the trend. Except for round ten the bonus rounds could be interpreted in a lot of settings (Germans, animal mounts) and I really like it that way. Saying: you can paint any figure as long as it's made by X is not the way to go IMO.
Reading all the different posts, I' rather surprised by some of things people say. There are a number of people that say the prefer some figures over others (period, historical/sci fi/fantasy/VSF) and will tend to vote for them over others. Is this in the case of a tiebreaker between two very good entries? Or as a first principle? I personally try and judge by painting alone, but made thats just me...
