Season Two - The Results

Well, that´s it for Season Two of the Lead Painters´ League Again a bloody race of hunderts of teams, again some "heart-attack"-rounds for some runners, again top notch quality of entries and last but not least just a lot of fun. Thanks to all who participated, it was a great time again!

Now the long-awaited Awards Ceremony and it was worth to wait, a true surprise, we have......................two winners!!!

The unbeatable Grimm and unrivaled Captain Blood. Grimm has managed to paint a train, received 25 bonus points and was able to catch up with Captain Blood. 445 Points for both. Actually now Grimm has 40 more vote points but you know, the amount of the vote points is too often a matter of luck, the position of the poll in the board and is really up to the voting mood of the visitors. So I've decided, this time we have two winners of the league. I'm sure it's the right decision


First runner-up is...zensational Zoogla!!




Third place goes to the...fantastic SvennnDHNut!!



Now some stats:

- most bonus points - Zoogla with 150 points

- most single votes -  Grimm with 993 Votes

- not faced a defeat - Grimm...

Ok....now I'm sorry again for all the postponed and maybe too-long-runned rounds Some things in my work life have changed and I have to tell you, this year no more League. Definitely not. And at the moment I have no idea when, maybe in Spring 2009. Maybe. But no worries, one day the League will return for sure

And now again congrats to all the winners and participants. Thank you!

The second season is officially... CLOSED.

Yours
the Prof.

Congrats to Grimm, Capt Blood, Zoogla and Svenn!!
I really enjoyed seeing all the fantastic entries!!

[Operator5]

Do they get the same icons as the last batch of winners or do we get to see new ones for that as well?

Congratulations to everyone who took part. I wish I had the time to paint so I could join in the fun.

[Ray Rivers]

 

What a spectacular and nail biting ending to the league!  A tie... between two great painters.  Awesome.

Congratulations to all... everyone is a winner in my book for competing!

[Captain Blood]

Well I am deeply honoured to have drawn with Grimm for first place! I think I was one of his draws early in the competition (seems a long time ago now!) so I'm not that surprised it's a dead heat at the end.

I don’t really deserve it to win, because there are several regular contributors here who are undoubtedly better painters than me. Still - luck of the draw I suppose… 

I am astonished that I beat Zoogla's entry in the last round - he's just the most brilliant painter.
I do think getting close-ups of your figures into your entry really is the key. I'm sure there have been lots of excellently painted entries which have been shot from just too far away.

Anyway, thanks Alex for running this fun, inspiring and challenging competition. You've given a lot of people a lot of pleasure (not to mention some very late nights!  )

Well done folks, Two worthy winners and top runners up. It makes monday mornings worth getting up for

[Orctrader]

Congratulations to the winners and well done the Prof for running it.  Must take loads of work and effort.

I enjoyed entering and will look out eagerly for the next one.

Well done all who entered.

actually new ones would be great, any ideas for the icons?

[Poliorketes]

Congratulations! To both of you!
With the medals - I'd say give them a medal split in two parts. Grimm the left and Cap the right half (or the other way round)

[JollyBob]

Well done everybody! Great work all round. Truly inspiring stuff. 

[Hammers]

Congratulations! Well deserved.

I would think that with the current trend toward Back of Beyond, some Russian medals would be good. I have no idea what they are so I leave that to the more scholarly among the forum.

[Plynkes]

Bah, Back of Beyond my arse. It's a fad. You'll all be fretting over something else this time next year. 

How about something with a little class, the Pour le Mérite for example? We could call our own version the Blauer Grimm.


Looking at it, you'd think they'd've picked a design you could actually fit the name on, though. Looks like a little kid did it.

Officers only, I'm afraid.
