The Lead Painters League Season 8 - The Results

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Season 8 of The Lead Painters League is finally over. I would like to thank to all the participants, for their hard work, tenacity and motivation. Well done, all of you! It’s been a great season again; we’ve seen some very hard fights on a very high skill level. Though you know, skills alone are not enough. If you enter LPL, you enter a marathon and sometimes it’s very hard to push oneself to keep running. Being myself a participant I really know the feeling of endless weariness that overcomes you at some point, mostly somewhere between the Round 7 and 10

And now we come to the winners.

On the top of the table, in first place, the invincible Frank! In a very close final match he defeated his opponent, secured his part of the Hejaz Railway and ensured his supremacy in this season, losing only one match and providing lots of mind-blowing scenes, full of brilliant ideas and inspiration to us all. Bravo, Frank!



In second place – the ingenious Captain Blood! The fantastic precision of his vivid painting is legendary in the meantime and also this time he was able to prove again his skill and took the second place with minimal point difference in the final match-up. Top notch, Richard!



In third place – the tremendous Tsar1701! Being another old hand and master of LPL and covering all sorts of adventurous gaming he brought this year some beautifully painted entries and did manage to take a final sprint and to get the third place. Well done, Chris!



Now congratulations to all of you who took part in LPL8. With all you passion and hard work you made it possible again to create that wonderful event and give this amazing show  to our members. I salute you!

And now the Season 8 is officially closed. See you all next year!

Thank you.

Well done, lads. All of you. It's been spectacular this year.

Well done Frank, Captain Blood and Tsar. I certainly have a much better appreciation for the work involved in the LPL now!

[Orctrader]

Congratulations Frank, the winner!

And congratulations to all of my fellow participants.  It's been great fun.   

Most of all though, thanks and congratulations to Alex for organising and running such a spectacular event.

Well done to the winners and all those who took part.  There were some awesome entries.  I have been inspired to improve my painting for next year.  And special thanks to Prof and the other adjudicators for setting up and running the LPL.

Very well done, winners!
Next time I am going to have to put on an extra shovel of coal to boost my steamer... 
It was a great competition and an honour to see my entries paired versus such magnificent ones as it was. Thank you very much.
Plus a big thank you for all the hard work of doing the maths and statistics for us beside entering fabulous ancients being a competitor yourself too, Alex!

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all involved, some lovely painted minis this year and a couple of hard fought matches, it's been an inspiration.

Great win Frank  

Yo! Blood you is a Don and cool

Tsar1701 fucked up my top three bet but the bookies wouldn't take it anyway so I'll let him off  

All my favourite painters didn't disappoint, fantastic work chaps, cheers.

And well done Alex, the maths must be mind boggling.

Sunday will be a bore 'till next year

Wonderful work everyone and well done to those nearer the bottom for comming up with new ideas over the ten weeks, making such a great competition possible and providing new ideas too!

Nice to see that everyone won at least one round too!


I think the position of previous winners this year speaks volumes for the quality!

I have been inspired to improve my painting for next year.

Agreed 100%! Each of the past 3 LPLs, I feel I've learned a new technique by using this competition to spur me to improve. A top 10 finish is WAY above my expectations.

Congrats to Frank, Capt. Blood, Tsar, and all the others whose magic with a paintbrush enthralled us for 10 weeks. Thanks, Alex, for all the hours you put in on this while simultaneously working on your own magical entries!

Sad to see it end...but I'll be back next year!

I was talking about getting a book up, perhaps next year....

[Admiral Benbow]

Congratulation to all participants making it through the ten rounds!

Special Kudos to Frank, Capt. Blood and Tsar1701, of course!

And very many thanks to Alex who let this all happen!

 

[Ray Rivers]

Fantastic entries, great painting, magnificent photos and exciting management.

Once again the LPL didn't fail to disappoint.

Congratulations to all participants and especially the winners!

Well done to all.
