Don't feel bad about that, Wesfalia. I think this is a typical example of how miniatures are not just judged by the quality of the painting. I for one thought both were excellent but I have no deeper knowledge of the world of Robert E. Howard (apart from the Tarzan/Johnny Weizmuller flicks I saw as a kid. Weird War seems to have a broader appeal in this forum.

Edit: I just figured out that Tarzan is a Rice Burroughs creation, go figure. So it sort of proves my point.

I don´t. But I just have to let out a little whine, just like the grape in the mixer.

:lol:

That´s the ugly part of Teutonic Efficiency. We´re always bitching like hell when we lose a competition to a better-skilled person. Especially the modellers. Be happy you didn´t have to read the comments on the Golden Demon competitions of the last years - the distilled hatred dripping at the French who DARE to travel ~1000km to win those butt-ugly trophies is a most disgusting thing. Not that they actually took into account that the German painters´ entries were pretty crappy compared to the Frenchies´.

I would have LOVED to read those. I am a very petty man myself and I always seek to improve myself in that department by learning from the masters.

If it's any consolation Chris, for me this one was the hardest choice of all!

Thanks!  :)
We'll see how it works all out in the long run.
Our pair-up is just one of those "unfitting" pairs!

The vote will go to whatever of them you like more... :wink:
