Historicon Painting Competition - 2014

There were some excellent entries this year and they just posted the winners up on the WI website.  Some of the pictures don't do the entries justice.  The Mounted Tournament Knight by Jessica Rich was beautiful, with a white embroidered overlay on top of the light blue caparison.  Simply amazing the amount of detail on that mini.  James Brown's 28mm 8th Army troops were some of the most life-like figures I've ever seen and deservedly won Best of Theme.  His Ratling Snipers have digital camo and won Best of Show.  My Marder IIs won first in the FoW Platoon category and also won the Iron Cross award for Best Flames of War entry, a huge surprise to me.  There was an awesome Monuments Men Objective piece that I loved and several excellent armor entries and the Horton 347 alt-history jet from Ed Kee was super cool.
