The colour of your helmets Broadside match with your background. Nice yet again!!

Tough choice. I am not into either genre but the execution is stonking on both entries.

The faceplates are excellent!  :-*.  This is a good match-up from two very different styles.

Two very nice entries but those cutesy warrior mice don't tickle my lead toes at all. The painting is great though! I really like the Martian entry and I'm glad I finally got to vote for them. I also think the vehicle gives this entry a bit more punch and diversity than your previous entries.

Thanks, I quite enjoyed painting this little team. The mice are very nice as well, and I have a feeling this will be a very close matchup. :)

I also think the vehicle gives this entry a bit more punch and diversity than your previous entries.

I think you're absolutely right Pil. I've wanted to include vehicles in the earlier entries, but haven't been able to for various reason. I really like this MATV from Rebel Minis and I think it adds a lot to the scene.

Now, may the best mice or men win!  :D

this was a really hard one. Those 15mm guys are amazing, and when I saw them I thought "wow!", but then I saw the mice, and the painting on them was equally brilliant. As I was a fan of Redwall as a kid, I ended up plumping for the mice, but I could have gone ether way.

Who are the mice buy- I have never seen them before?

PS - I might have to rip the face mask idea off- too good not to steal.

One of the toughest match-ups yet. Like others, I saw the first entry and thought - wow! 15mm! Beautiful painting. Then I saw the Mouse entry - equally beautiful painting. In the end, the vehicle decided it for me - wonderfully painted, and brings the whole entry together wonderfully (although the basing on the Mouse entry does the same thing....). How tough is this to call?

Indeed. I am very proud to think of The Artist a one of my Swedish peeps.

Another tough choice. Both are painted very well and both scenes look great. In the end the visors and vehicle won me over for the 15mm. Awesome work on such a small scale.

Oh no! A really hard choice. Both are really stunning.

@fire broadside: Fantastic scenery and a brilliant photo. You are getting better and better form round to round.

Well, I voted for my own mice.  ;)  However, in addition to the visors, what I really enjoy about the recon group is the red reflection in the vehicle windows.  Very cool.

I think, Mancha, you are to be congratulated on a brave choice. Small furry rodents, however delightfully painted, are probably not calculated to appeal to a section of the macho gaming hardcore. Should be an interesting match right through the week  ;)
