Greetings

oh my.. the Sorority meets Alien ... what a marvelous idea.

And the Dystopian Legion are looking great together, though I would have liked the drummer and standard-bearer more focused. I understand the problem though as I had the same focusing problem last year.

Great work, both of you
and good luck

Thargor you have upped your game! Very nice entry with new minis... which is always cool.  :-*

Dr. Mathias, I hope you don't continue with photos like this for the rest of the league or I will have to have my jaw wired back into place.  lol

I've always had a weak spot for the Sisters of Battle. These sure have a great paintjob, bright and clean colours as should be imho. Very well done! The Dystopian Brits are nice as well. Unfortunately the drummer and standard-bearer are out of focus, I'd like to see a better shot of them after this round :)

Great entries both! It's good to see Dr. Mathias' back at his game as his entries are often among my favourites in subject matter, model choice and execution. This is another very fine entry, Well done!. I'm not too familiar with the Dytopian model ranges but these Brits are rather lovely and the paint job certainly does them justice! The banner is cool but the heavy weapon is my favourite!

Both are great entries. The scenery in the 'Purify' pic is outstanding (the painting is no slouch either), great entry.

This LPL is proving to be really difficult! Two excellent entries.

I particularly like the alien pods; really nice idea.

They look like plant seed pods to me but I'm sure the doctor can elaborate 8)

Nice entry Thargor, vibrant color. I'm so out of touch lately, I had no idea Dystopian Legions had figures available :P


Please Dr. reveal to me the secret of building such exquisite eggs!!!

Pil is right on the money. I made some molds of unopened day lily seed pods and cast them in resin. I also collected some dried and opened pods a couple months later, but I didn't cast those up and used them au naturel. They're covered in generous amounts of polymer acrylic medium to toughen them up, and a little tissue soaked in medium to make the alien mucous glue that sticks the pods to the surface.  There's not a lot you have to do to them to make them look good, mother nature can be creepy... I can put them on my massively long tutorial list ;P

Thanks all!

These are beautiful entries, both are simply amazing. I think it's one of the hardest contests to choose between, but i have made my vote.

Dr Mathias, Lovely eggs and display, i really love your impressive off-white painting skills!!

Those Dystopian legions are so rich in colour and detail, it makes them a very strong entry!
