Greetings

Those are again two very interesting sets.

I do like the jungle theme, the austere dusk feeling. Reminds of the uncountable Vietnam movies. Very atmospheric :)
But I like the Polish Winged Husars too. are those from the "By Fire and Sword" Range?

I now what I voted and why.
Thank you
Jo

Oooh harsh. Two of my favourite painters...  :?

Superb composition, storytelling and atmosphere from Oz and just great clean, bright, stylish wargames painting from NZ! And wonderful figures in both entries.

Both entries are good for different reasons. I like the leopardskin on the Husaria and the style of painting is very good for the figures.
As a photograph, the jungle setting is very effective but personally, it seems that some of the detail cannot be seen because of the very atmosphere that creates the scene.

Great entry yet again Blackwolf, I love your pictures and you have the power to make mere 28mm or 32mm models to look like larger scale museum pieces. The bit robot/suit (AT-43?) is very grimy as well and I love the dirty camo. Those hussars on the other hand are also great, very cool picture and very different in atmosphere.

That's another marvalous shot Blackwolf, you can almost feel the mosquitos ;) Terrific!  :-*

Well done on the big lance pennons Valleyboy, ain't those crosses a pain to get right. I did some once and they nearly drove me up the pole  ;)

thanks for the positive vibes guys (he says as he gats his ass handed back to him by a 'Stralian )

The more I look at this Blckwolf, the more I think that your figures look like real people because they are so well painted
