I have a bunch of stuff coming up, as I have said, but I'm just going to post one quickie first to highlight what has recently happened at Games Day Chicago ('tis the season of fantastic minis again!).
Apparently three minis that were entered (Warhammer Single, WHFB Monster and Open) and subsequently
won those categories, weren't entered by the painter of the miniatures, but by a collector who had bought them off the painter. To make matters worse, the painter seems to have been in on this.
It's stuff like this that practically makes me fume from the ears in a comical display of rage and hate. It's keyboard-banging inducing. It just is one step below bribing the judges. Why oh why do people continue doing this and think they won't be found out?
Dave Taylor puts it succinctly at his blog. One of the minis concerned. And it's not like the case of the well-meaning collector who entered one of Aña's minis a few years back. He did so in Aña's name at least. This seems like regular cheating.
On a totally different topic: I have finally gotten round to reading Xenology. I recently bought a mic as well and I am thinking of doing something slightly different as far as reviews are concerned. Essentially make it an audio review. And no, I am not Yahtzee or trying to be: I'll be speaking slower.
