Master Painter 2014: Voting opens.

Voting is now open for the Master Painter 2014 competition! All six entries are on display in the cabinet in the general office, and photos will be posted online later today. To ensure a level playing field, names have been kept secret, and will be revealed when the winners are announced. Cast your vote in the poll at the top of the page by selecting the entry you consider to be the best painted. Remember, this is a contest of painting skill, so take a good, hard look at each figure and check out how real it looks before deciding.

 This year's prize is a choice of three large monsters from the Reaper Bones range; An Ogre, a Minotaur and a Swamp Troll. The winner will be announced on September 12th.

Also in the display cabinet, you will find our Steampunk Generators from earlier this term. They are currently basking in the spotlight of public adulation, but they will be used in a game very soon.
