Hey Dennis. If you don't already know, you won, 40k single and the open category. But you also won THE GRIFFON TROPHY!!!!! (the griffon trophy is like the slayer sword at GD for those wo don't know). It was the eldar ranger that won you the trophy, and it was very well deserved. It was a pleasure to see it IRL You won a harlequins box, a shadowseer blister, and a "art of warhammer 40,000" book. Congratulations mate! This year GW decided to not even mention 2nd and 3rd places. I knew that I couldn't compete against Dennis' Grey Knight, but GW ruined my hope for a 3rd or 2nd place

come on raccsirt, remember to be artistic!!!! Dennis, heres how you need to set that picture shoot up properly as you holding up the trophy just wont do (no offense!!). you'll need three lovely models (i'm talking about the female variety - not the latest Forgeworld resin kits) two sitting (symmetrically) at your feet with their arms around your legs looking up at you adoringly. the other stands slightly behind you with her hands on your shoulders and come to bed eyes expression - one eyebrow slightly raised of course. a couple of kegs of beer will also be needed for you to triumphantly put your foot on and to fill the trophy with beer with and of course a gigantic blue to white gradient background behind you. now swill the beer down and let it pour down your mouth like a gushing fountain - maybe add in a cheeky wink for good measure. voila one cool picture commemarating the event.
ps voted on the minis and i have to say although i'm not normally a great fan of the lotr mini range your boromir was absolutely the best i have seen. nice one.

For the photo if you want some guidance take a look at the cover of Manowar's "Kings Of Metal" just placing a couple of very scantlily clad females at your feet.
