Both great. The tones on the emblem of the blue armored guy's shield is impressive all by itself :)

Yes I thought that was the standout part of an amazing job, and it's an old citadel/marauder shiled I have never been hot on...

Good look to both entries.

Thanks to all for the kind words...its quite an pleasure to be going up against such a wonderful competitor as Prof W....and to be hanging tight with him on the score...it is certainly keeping me on the edge of my seat...and if my wife sees me checking the score one more time she will mock me a second time!

Yes I thought that was the standout part of an amazing job, and it's an old citadel/marauder shiled I have never been hot on...

I chose this shield because it is one that is hard to fit properly on most Chaos Dwarfs...it is just too big...but it fits well with the CWs.  Also this particular emblem acts as an "echo" of the Warriors helmet...it has the same downward curving horns...once I made that mental connection I knew it was the right shield for this model.

Cheers for now...off to hit the refresh button until I fall asleep... o_o lol

169 to 173 after I voted... this one is going to go down to the wire, I think!

Awesome paintjobs on both, as always Blue's blending is staggeringly good and Prof's scene-setting is first rate. Need a "Both" button!

Last year Blackwolf and I tied a match at precisely 50/50 :o

That was a very tricky one- both really well painted and hard to choose between them. In the end nostalgia may have got the better of me!  ::)

Amazing....nearly 500 votes cast and we are only separated by 5 votes....thats 1% people!!!!  :o  o_o

from a purely statistical POV thats pretty amazing.

I guess someone knows how to arrange interesting match-ups... ;)

Cheers,

Blue
