Maybe it's an indication that people who have made the EFFORT to buy all those figs (and it takes effort, to be sure), are the more devoted, or possibly the older LEGO fans: the ones with more experience and love to lavish on a creation.Scnicker wrote:From this we see:bigger battle is better
For example, I think that Jens' Snake Knights vs the Orks would have still been a great battle even if it was 1/3 as large. He got first because of the DETAIL he put into it.
The chance for you to win is not so much in the pieces you have, although a certain minimum is required, but in the experience and love put forth as skill in your building.

Exactly, size has nothing to do with it. I judged each of these entries on details. Jens entry happened to be the biggest, but that is not why it won. It is the most detailed, the most "alive", the most believable. 2nd and 3rd place follow very close. All the other entries were well done, but these three really jumped out at me.Formendacil wrote:For example, I think that Jens' Snake Knights vs the Orks would have still been a great battle even if it was 1/3 as large.

This was a great contest. Win or lose it gave me the motivation to open a brickshelf account and get more involved (online).
Next years contest will be even better. I am just glad my friend decided not to enter. His battle scene made mine look like a pub fight. Lord of the Lego might be able to guess who I am talking about. His last name is Kasprzyk.
Thanks Josh and thank you everyone who entered. Somewhere in .space there are a bunch of people wishing their contests were as cool.

There is someone who is always worse off than you . . . consider my peasants for example.
