I might be biased since I've lived in Japan for five years, but I simply can't resist that sakura scene. Beautiful! :-*
-
The post apocalyptic figures are very nice and bleak, but Thantsants, I think this is your best entry in the league so far! And it isn't even classic citadel (or is it?). Great scenery, lovely painting and most importantly: a great diorama!
-
I don't want to be overly critcial of such a lovely piece, (and I did vote for it) but isn't that Japanese piece a diaroma. I thought it had to be five models or more, or am I mistaken in my understading of the rules?
Top work by the way- the blossom is beautiful, as are the minis- The paddy field is perfect too.

Thanks Rob - certainly hope I haven't transgressed the rules or the spirit of the competition at all, as it is indeed a diorama I made as a pressie for the wife a while back - I'm assuming not as nothing was mentioned when I submitted my entry. ???
In all honesty it was a rather last minute decision to use it as I had to rejig my teams due to an order I put in for the African round running two weeks late and as a result of that and time constraints me not having a freshly painted team for this round!
I was focussing more on the minis I had placed on the diorama as being the team with the scenery doing the job of a backdrop and hadn't really thought about it being a diorama.
Just trawled through the somewhat epic rules thread and I can't remember seeing anything about having to have 5 minis separately based - my sincere apologies if this is indeed against the spirit of the competition.
Perhaps one of the mods could clear this up as I would hate to be the cause of any upset.
Thanks all, by the way, for all the great comments - oh and nicely gritty Apoc figs Aeneas!
-
At least 5 figures or models is the only requirement. Doesn't matter how they're based or presented together, so no problem there :)
-
Good good - that's a relief! :)
-
I am glad, because I think it is a very cool entry. I bet your wife was made up with it.
good luck
-
Cheers Rob - it was well received - she certainly doesn't take as dim a view of my little lead men now in any case! lol
Glad the scenery looks vaguely Japanese Broadside!
Oh and Pil - not citadel this time but they are Perry Bros so there is a connection still I believe! ;)

A bit of poetry in miniatures there, Thasants. A bit unusual for LAF which id generally about wargamig, but one can't deny talent when one sees it, can one

It was actually somewhat discussed in the rules thread here:

Incidentally, I really do appreciate that the Warmaster Chaos entry this round has five bases worth of figures 8)
-
Still great, Thants! Nice diversion from your usual fantasy nonsense. ;) :) ;D
-
Think my eyes had glazed over by then Pil! lol That Warmaster entry is indeed tops!
Hammers - as Plutarch once said, Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks...
- just thought I'd do something a bit different with the old lead soldiers, and gain a few brownie points with the wife while I was at it! ;)
Cheers Phreedh - more nonsense next week so don't worry! :D

Stalkers getting my vote, mainly due to the fact that I instantly liked them, but also, even though the asian themed diorama is very beutiful, its a diorama, and I would prefere the individual miniatures based as wargaming miniatures and not as part of the scenery.
