So who did win the convertification category?
Right on cue.
But first a word about judging.
The conversion competition is judged by three persons from Tac Comms who have been around awhile, and are considered to be old fa- - er - mature, responsible, authoritative, reliable, objective persons of some experience. We exclude entries that have already won a category - otherwise Polaris and the Yella Submarine, to name but two, would have been in the running. And then the judges each pick three entries, in order of preference, and then in a flurry of PMs argue who is to get the pole position.
This year the judges were:
Warmaster Nice - since he did not enter the competition this year we thought he would be a grand judge for this event.
Blackhorizon - the man behind Gothicomp, and thus well versed in judgement. By his own admission less experienced in Epic, which makes him a perfect foil to Warmaster Nice as he has an outsider's point of view tempered by having seen loads of competition models in Gothicomp.
Myself - I entered one model this year, which was not a conversion, so I treated myself to the job. And this means you get a judge who tends to go for odd stuff, which should have made matters interesting.
And yet, in spite of the perceived and expected divergence in forming opinions, we all picked the same first!
