Wow thankyou, I will eventually get my army done, patience is a virtue. Id like to nominate Baerion's high elves thread for a complete army, as it must look incredible when playing. and I would like to nominate Trag Sifarins converted dragon for a conversion from Trag Sifarins Blog I really want a dragon like that now!

I think your categories should also list 'concept', for that I would like to nominate Dragontamer, Mike Newman and dalhara all of whom have independently come up with truly stunning cream paint schemes

I have added the concept category and counted your nominations. I'd just like to add that you should feel free to submit nominations for armies that have already been nominated. I will add an army after 3-5 nominations so it's no good everyone nominating the good armies once :D

Also, I'm thinking that once there is a good few armies in the showcase we could have a competition with a vote for best in each category and best overall. Anyone think that would be a good idea?

Though I'm not sure there is enough interest and traffic on the painting forum compared to the other forums to get enough people in on this ]:
We could however make this a sort of archive where we link to other threads that we feel must not be forgotten - either because of an awesome paint job, awesome conversions, ideas, etc

Yeah,I was thinking (It's a first :D) that we should just add some of the really old but good threads here without nominations otherwise they'll not be noticed. I shall start finding some stuff tomorow.

Your army isn't worse than the others, there are some exceptional painter which are better but yours deserve that place there fine :)

So I will leave it there :twisted:

since i linked them for another reason, i guess these elves should have their rightful place here as well...

edit: his deathstar unit of PG certainly was ahead of its time, 8th edition and all, no?

too bad it's a collection of the best armies of this forum, I guess mine just isn't good enough then :p
I'll put the link here anyway. I'll just say that I'd be honored too.. ;)
