CaptainCon 2015: Draconic Awards

July 22nd, 2015

Captain Con 2015, that I helped Kickstart at the Captains level, has come and gone and I returned home with some painting awards. Which helps make up for my 1-3 record in the standard issue tournament.

The Draconic Awards ran the painting competition at CaptainCon.  I was interested to see how my work would be judged outside of a PP sponsored competition. Like the P3 competition at Lock & Load, the Draconic Awards had merit-based awards, where models are judged independently of each other and awarded gold, silver or bronze coins. They also had a Best of Show award and a People’s Choice award.

Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers – Gold Merit and Best of Show Runner Up

My Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers took a gold merit coin and won runner-up for Best of Show.

Lord General Coleman Stryker – Silver Merit

Lord General Coleman Stryker (Stryker3) took a silver merit coin.  I hadn’t planned to enter him, but I rearranged my tournament lists and decided since I wasn’t playing him I might as well put him in.

Stormblade Captain – Bronze Merit

 

And the Stormblade Captain took a bronze.  This surprised me since I think he’s the better of the paint jobs here, so clearly I’m not a good judge of painting.
