Greetings

the Stargate crew is amazing and the "greys" excellent.

And I just love the idea of the Hobbittobberfest. Those are interesting minis and want to see them in more detail. Unfortunately I find this picture a bit too dark. But a marvellous idea.

Good luck chaps

Great entries guys. The painting on the Stargate miniatures is very smooth and I just love the tone of the grey and black of the equipment. The skin of the aliens is also very well done. The hobbits are great as well, love the red cheeks and noses, fits really well with them being hobbits!

Who make the "Grey" figures?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Two great entries, difficult choice! :D

The Stargate models are excellently painted and the whole picture is very cool. On the other hand I also love Hubbynz' halflings and I think these are mongst his best yet. A great selection of models with a great paint job, well done!

Clean painting Chambers!

I like the rosy cheeks on the halflings- nice attention to detail!

The Greys are from Reaper. Characterful Haflings are always a treat.

The Hasslefree Stargate models are top notch, Chambers.  Well done.
Also, a great selection of hobbits paired with a clever title.   8)

again, both very cool entries! An alien chick, even naked (well, I guess she is  o_o )! Tough choice here. But ... the little ones made it for me! I just can't help, I think, they are well done and lovely so! Much character!

And isn't the cook fromt the halfling's pot-thrower? Have it, too, but still I'm afraid to paint it myself!

Very characterfull halflings, though the pictures is a bit on the dark side. The ruddy cheecks are just executed very well.

The Stargate crew is clean and crisp as I expect from Chambers, with a very nice backdrop as well.
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

These are some difficult choices we have to make here. 

The shading on the "alien" guy with the gold emblem on his head (I forget their species) is amazing.  Getting that in-between tone is not easy.

On the other hand, who cannot love the detail to "fun" instilled in Hobbitoberfest?
