Wow Blue, I know you've been experimenting with scenic backgrounds and you've certainly pulled it off wonderfully! The orcs are just as great as the other Marauder orcs you painted and the scenery looks really great. Drachenklinge, you've built a great diorama with some very lovely figures and an awesome paintjob, well done!

Fell in love with the training day even though greenskins always have a special place in my heart.

Training day's a brilliant idea and excellent set up but i went for the succulent colours on the Orcs.

Top job the both of you  8)

Lovely orcs, Blue - the moon shield on the guy on the left is beautifully done! Love the training day scene too - excellent idea!

A hard call.

The training day idea is truly inspired, and the choice and placing of the minis really tells a story.

Now the orcs... Man, such beautiful models and great paint job.

Can I vote for both?

Ok, ok, let's just choose one.

This is really a neck and neck race! Two really beautiful painted teams. Maybe a better picture of the “training day” would have been made the difference.

No offence to "training day", but I am a big fan of Blue's miniatures and painting style. It is extremely clean and the colours are always beautiful. - I am a Blue Fan Boy.

Sorry other guy.

Thanks mate!  I'm glad you like the terrain...because you'll be seeing it again...its pretty much all I have!

Thanks to all others for the kind comments.

And Kudos to my competitor for this round, Drachenklinge ...your set up there is very sweet and tells a complete story in one picture well done!

I see that my early lead as evaporated and now reversed itself... :?  Oh well first round...can't win them all...congrats to Drachenklinge

Cheers,

Blue
