  I am stunned by the winner's piece of art. It has so many details for the eye to notice, even after careful observation. I particularly liked that the space behind the Marine's head has a noticable fading halo shape, like a Byzantine of Rennaisance representation of a saint or an angel. Coupled with her slim head and facial expression, it is so much drawing from the tradition of Christian iconography, exactly the feel that an average citizen of the Imperium would have for one of His Angels, not only as physical, but also as spiritual being, a manifestation of the Divine. Perfect!

  The reason you got a sub where no other Warhammer/40k channel has (despite my deep, deep nostalgia for my late teenager 40k 4th ed days) is that you recognise the satire, embrace the absurdity, celebrate the weird, and reject the... well, you know.  Thanks for looking at my favourite nonsense universe from a perspective that still cares about people who have to live here, not there.

  I’ve always been more Fantasy then 40K but years ago painted a 1000 point Space Marine army inspired by my Brettonians. Lots of shiny armour, swords and shields glued to the back packs. Very nice they looked too. In keeping with the Brettonian theme I converted a Sister of Battle model with flowing white Sorceress robes and long blond hair to use as my Chaplain. Nobody made a fuss although I was reminded a couple of times that I wouldn’t be able to use her in tournaments but as I didn’t play 40K tournaments it didn’t matter. Point is, even 20 odd years ago people who just wanted to play the game didn’t care what yer army consisted of as long as it looked and felt as if it fitted the setting. Would I want to see a Female only Chapter? Well, no but only because I think it would take the shine off the Sisters. And please, no boob plates but that is just my opinion. <br>Also, just looked at the webpage. Some great stuff going on there. Well done to everyone.

  The only controversial thing about this whole video is that Ian apparently doesn&apos;t drill out his gun barrels!

  I was surprised not to see more LSoP in the entries overall! The winning entry was absolutely fantastic though. I loved the drama of the scene, how it builds from all these ridiculous elements to form something so over-the-top that you can&apos;t help but approach it on its own merits, which is the ultimate expression of the 40K aesthetic. I have a tic in my dominant arm which means I can&apos;t paint any more or do any outlandish conversions, but knowing that people out there do that kind of work is inspiring. =]

  On the 2nd place, he mentioned the Celtic vibe with the armbands etc, but nobody mentioned the tartan loincloth :) I was almost screaming at the screen &quot;SHE HAS TARTAN!!!&quot; &nbsp;<br><br>Super well done to all the winners, and indeed to everyone who took part.

  Thanks for your amazing content, and relaying such challenges. I especially liked the vibe, or the mood, of the second place, but the first place is certainly stunning, with its totally-40k-over-the-topness.<br><br>Your channel has introduced me to a whole new world, with old bits and new concepts for models. I am a lazy, absolutely not original hobbyist, having only recently made a very timid attempt at one conversion; when I see such work, I am fascinated, a bit intimidated as well for sure, but kind of inspired to try things after all. Even if I can never hope to get to this level. So thanks as well for that.

  The beautiful bit of artwork that took 3rd place is very reminiscent of the late Brett Ewins&apos; work hence the strong 2000AD vibe. &nbsp;Gorgeous 😎

  Love the art from the contest. Also. LOVE your diorama. I cackled a little when I saw the old patriarch.
