This weekend the L.A. Battle Bunker held a "Hobby-Pocalypse" - a non-stop 33 hour event filled with painting competitions, mega-battles and mini-tournaments. The festivities included their 2nd annual Gold Skulls Painting Challenge, the store's own version of the Golden Deamon.
Last year my
Slann won
1st place for Fantasy Large Model and my
Saurus hero won 3rd place for single fantasy figure. This year I entered my
Stegadon in the Vehicle/Monster category. This year's competition was much tougher. I took 3rd place after thinking I wouldn't even make the first cut. Apparently, their was some heated debate about this particular category amongst the staff judging the event!
The staff put on a great event and it was fun to talk shop with all the great miniature painters. You can check more coverage of the weekend at the store's
facebook page. I managed to get a few clear shots of some of the awesome models:

ReplyDeleteGrats man! Nice to see some Lizardmen players taking home the good stuff. I like the new layout as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone likes the new look!
ReplyDelete@Iggykoppa - I think I was the only Lizardmen entry. However, the guy who did the High Elves on baby dragons also had a large dragon converted from a Carnosaur! His army is on display at the store, I might stop by to try to get a few more photos.
