Both entries are very well painted, it's difficult to choose between them.  I love the Krieg Miniatures are they conversions or are they commercially available?

Man, every damned round there is at least one that needs a 'both' button. *sigh*

 :oYes please for the both button. :-* :-*
I went for the Krieg mainly because of the setting, the glass on the gas masks and the flags (don't know why on the last one just really like them)

Greetings

I do love both of them though the Snotlings got my vote. Why? Before they look cute, have hilarous mounts and are well painted.
The Von Krieg lancers do look good too, but I find the picture of the snotlings more appealing

The Krieg Lancers are great and they got my vote, but I think the pic manipulation is just one step to far as it's impossible to see if only the background got photoshopped. No offense ment and no accusations made, just my opinion on working on the pics.

Only the background have been worked, and of course the white balance. I've done it before "shrinking" the picture which may be why it s not very visible, but you can still see the "white" line between the legs. When this turn is finished, I can eventually post a larger picture and a few more showing details. Actually, I thought that you would find the picture a bit blurry, and not the reverse.

A very tough call indeed, the Krieg models are very serious looking and have a very nice realistic paintjob (great work!) while the snotlings and their mounts are simply adorable and with a much more cartoony paintjob. In the end I went for the impressive realism but it was a tough call.
