And main news - chaos dwarfs are coming from FW

[Skrit]

Even with the bad quality pics I see some awesome stuff!!!

I've heard the 'rumour' about Chaos Dwarfs done by Forge World before but it seems there might be more reality in it than I thought. Can you point out the place where you saw that info? Was it a reliable source?

If it's true I better start saving up some money!

One of the best US GD's? Good stuff.

The coolest thing for me was

Ohoho... It was great GD and it probably would've been even better but it seems that people in US cannot survive without ignoring simple
competition rules...Why oh why?

This isn't the first time this has happened, so just proves that it's the community that must police itself. Same problem at Gen Con...unless someone comes forward and says "Hey! That's not their miniature!" we may never know. So don't cheat! This community can be a very small place when it wants to be...all over the world.

well, I don't know Karol (the painter) well enough to judge him, but Dave Taylor was very harsh on him on the blog.
I may be misjudging Karol based on our own experiences, but Dave's post suggests Karol did something wrong. Is he sure Karol was involved and he knew about it?

[Nameless]

I don't believe that Karol was involved in this.
stop. start again.
I didn't believe it, but I've just taken a look at his CMON post, updated with "chicago 2009 gold"

I don't care if he knew about all this prior to competition or found it only after GD.
Karol, you're a painter with immense skills and achievements already. Why ruin your reputation?

US folks - what's wrong with you? this kind of problems repeats on almost every GD comp in your country, year after year.

Sue - apparently community control is not enough. Sure, it's great that painters are aware of the problem and try to stigmatize every such case. However, all this is happening after a competition. Organizers just HAVE to do something more prior to competitions to try to avoid cheatery. It seems though, that everything they do is to introduce proper provisions in rules, which apparently is not working.
