An inexplicable pose among those knights, but undoubtedly very well painted.
-
I love the Crusaders, somewhat comical looking and definately well painted and well photographed. The artillery looks good too but the Crusaders win for me 8)
-
Both really nice entries. But in the end the paintjob on the knights was the deciding factor, my vote goes to the knights. Is it me or do they look a bit like halflings/people with too short legs?
-
Okay, the second one made me laugh real hard with that rediculous pope-knight. What a goofy model...right up my alley :D. Love the painting on the knights too.
I like the first one too but it's a bit busy and it could use a bit more light. Great painting but in the end I voted on the knights for sheer comedy value :)
-
I'm not sure whether it's a case of " Is that a mace you have in your baldrick or are you just pleased to see me?' or 'Red Knight's Crazy Clearance, everything must go!' with the chap in the middle.
Nice paint job though. Actually nice work on both.
-
A very tough choice!
Very nice job both, now what? Flip the coin?
-
Actually the bishop has been caning the communion wine and has just broken into a rousing rendition of "we will rock you!". lol
-
Crusaders for me. Essex?
-
Yep Essex, bought from The Rye Stamp Shop nearly 30 years ago.
Just got round to painting them, but then the LAF comp is all about reducing the lead mountain lol
-
The terrifying thing is that I too bought a load of these from The Rye Stamp & Hobby Shop about 30 years ago!
They may look funny now, but believe you me, at the time these characterful little sculpts - Essex's very first 25mm figures - were revolutionary compared to the relatively crude or bland offerings of the then mainstream manufacturers.
I think they're lovely. Wish I hadn't sold mine now ;)
-
The photo in the first entry doesn't really do justice to the figures, so it is hard to tell. The knights have a very nice shaded look to them. Good luck to you both. I am sure this will be a hard one to decide a winner on!!
-
It puzzles me that every single comment seems in favor of the knights, but the artillery piece is winning. ???

Yes I think he's saying, Lay down your weapons brothers we can all be friends, and his two mates on the left are thinking, ' he's bloody at it again' lol
I thought both entires were excellent, but voted for the gun crew as it encapsulated the melee of the battle as well as being well painted in a rugged looking style too.
very difficult choice though
-
Both are fabulous but I had to chose these guys

lol lol lol
even better
-
lol Excellent! I'll see if I can dig out some Mini-figs for the next round ;)
-
LOL. Love the captions. So perfect for the miniatures. It's almost like MP & the Holy Grail.
-
lol lol Brilliant! Maybe we need bonuspoint for adding hilarious caps... :D
-
Huh,what an exciting match.From the very start till now Bugsda and I are tied together like Siamese Twins :D
May be my entry is not the best to display the paint job but I liked the atmosphere.Actually it?s a snap shot I took during a game and it?s just a small part of the whole pic.
Also Bugsdas picture is very bright and has a good contrast so that doesn?t help either.His paint job is very well too and makes his entry sound.
So,your votes are well deserved mate.
-
That's a fun new interpretation of the knights Mad Carew Snr, but if Bugsda is only allowed to post one picture, it doesn't make a great deal of sense that others should be posting reinterpretations of the picture later in the thread.
-
Shoot. I'd hate to influence the voters. Please accept my apologies and disregard my flippant use of Bugsda's work
-
Though match up ! In doubt, I voted for the pic with scenery - and made a draw at the moment : perfect !
meow,
Matt
