I was fortunate enough to make it to the Games Workshop 2019 open day at Warhammer World. It took me most of the day to work out where the painting competition was being displayed. I managed to get these rushed pictures as there were packing down the display.
I believe the LOTR entry, 2nd picture down, was the over all winner.
Sorry just doing a photo dump. The Ambull wasn’t in the competition, I just thought you might like to see it.
Games Workshop really went all out for the 40k 30th Anniversary display at Warhammer Fest this year. Games Workshop don’t have many of their old rouge trader models. Rarely accessed and highly protected archives indicate they where not included in the sale of the business many years ago, however it is something the servitors refuse to speak about. None the less by using some private collections by staff and fans, Games Workshop did manage to put together a good showing of these rare Rouge Trader models.

The Golden Demon 2017 Warhammer 40,000 Vehicle categories appeared to be one of the most competitive this year. There were unsurprising lots of Space Marine Dreadnoughts.
