Home :: GMM Studios. Studio McVey. Post-Event Paint Judging Thoughts. I finished paint judging at about 8:15a.m. yesterday morning and got to witness the successful completion of the 9th annual Lonewolf GT. It was a great time and I learned a few things about painting along the way as well. After judging around 85 armies in a 2 day period, I have come to realize that there are some definite steps a player can take to make their army stand out for those player's choice and best painted awards.
If you don't feel you are up to that high standard, these tips will also help improve your soft scores in a tournament. Dave's 5 tips for scoring well in the painting category. 1) Paint your entire army!! 2) Base your army consistently! 3) Layer- The differences between a fully drybrushed army and an army with even two layers of paint is huge. 4) Remember the details- Pic out the various trophies, gems, EYES, etc. in your army. 5) Get a display board- Not a cafeteria tray or even a tv tray.
