Douglas Hooker. Bronze Automaton. Gleaming metal, slick blood effects, and a grounded base, this piece hits hard with cinematic clarity and confident execution.
Christoph Hold. Specialist Walker. Subtle pale blue glow effects add atmosphere, while weathered fatigues and a clean, understated base ground the piece with quiet confidence.
Charles Kirkpatrick. The Experiment Escapes! Top-tier work with a real edge. The finish is razor-sharp, with detailing that sings; those chips, cuts, and blood effects are pure cinematic grit. It’s got precision and menace.
Christopher Chetwood. Big Daddy. Striking green glow effects draw the eye, while grimy metalwork adds texture and grit. The alien grass is a subtle but clever touch that completes the model with flair.
Arjay. Bonsai Buddies. A bold and imaginative entry, dramatic flesh tones and well-executed plants make this an eye-catching piece. Smart choices throughout give it real presence and a proper story.
Nathan Easton. Smiley 3. Brilliant colour choices, the yellow sings against the blue; bold, deliberate, and effective. Groundwork’s tight. Solid work.
Peter Gray. Mad Donna, THUNDERCUBE!’s No.1 best hugger! What a belter of a build, she could definitely have somebody’s eye out! Nice use of a Frostgrave Wizards’  head.
Phillip Johns. Conversion. The palette choices are daring and effective, especially in the flesh tones. NMM technique is clean and convincing and a brilliant build seals the deal.
Holly 'Typonese' Knight. The Cutter. Good colour choices and unsettling skin textures create real visual tension. The contrast with the materials is sharp, and the metalwork adds a grounded, gritty finish.
Mark Billen. Inmate-Augmentation-Subject-DT-85. Distressed skin full of grit, blue accents that sing like neon and metalwork that looks lived-in and battle-worn. Add that rich tawny orange seals the deal.

David Culham. Driller. The muted vermillion plays off the grey and skin tones with real finesse. Easily one of the best bases in the batch with a great Automite.
Carl Simpson. Northstar Delivery Automaton Revolution. Rust textures just right, gritty and grounded. The traffic light spine gleams with reflections, and the base? A chaotic showcase packed with Automite energy.

Jack Adkins. 00738 - Ambush. Beautifully restrained, yet bold where it counts. Lovely shading and highlighting and that weapons glow draws you in and radiates menace. Very good indeed.
