Just in from Chicago, tired, great time.

The Heroes club table won best theme, the Jawa Banner won best banner, Chris Borer's Steel Legion Master of Ordinance won a Demon.

The Heroes of Armageddon Club Table.

Some of the painting crew, Jawaballs, Alex "Red Beard" Kallend, Kirill "Mad Russian" Zhilkov, Dave Taylor, Chris Borer, Cho.
Cho blew us away and won a Silver Demon, against some very tough competition, his best showing yet, look out for him next year.

Brian (the Table Guy) closes the deal on an additional $600 donation for one of the tables.

Kirill'sYarrick in the Golden Demon Contest display, this amazing model made the final cut in a very tough class.

    The pics don't do the armies or the table justice. I had a great conversation with John about the painting and work of the armies and table. I wish I could have taken the other half of the table home, but I did win one of the fantasy realm of battle boards. Class act work guys I'm already saving up to donate next year.

    It was awesome to see the armies all come together in the epic battle scene. Also nice to see some new people and put faces to blog names. Glad to have been a part of it and it was very fun this year.
