Very tough indeed!

Just need that gnome and the Elf sorcerer to finish off that particular set of minis - nice work!

Theodore and his retinue are looking very sharp too!  8)

Ah, the Adventurer starter set from ages past. And Noramund the Gnome who took on a very weird life on his own in my RPG group...  Wonderful!

this was a tough one!
Not least of which was because I keep getting distracted by 'which of these two parties will win in a fight?'   ;D

It's 4 against 5 unless the packmule has been trained to use his kick for an offensive attack  ;) and the smaller group doesn't have magic.. that is going to hurt them, but the wizard of the second group has more of a con artist/Goodgulf about him than serious magic, I think he might have just duped his way into a hefty cut of the spoils, and that elf is winged, and their dwarf doesn't look as confident in the fight as the first one.  So not betting on numbers to win the day. I think I'll give the fight to the first group, as for painting.. that'll take me a bit longer to decide

Wow! It's great to see these old miniatures, and actually regonize some of them! I guess I didn't mis-spend my teenage years after all - or rather, I did, but you know, in a good way...

Just like everyone else said, Real near impossible to choose, but I had to go with the Rankin and Bass (Hobbit cartoon) looks of the one dwarf. :o :-*

To both guys, GREAT work.
To the Admins, Thanx for bringing back some warm memories with the old metal round.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

These fellows were a delight to paint- very well sculted and cast considering their age and the technology available then. I bought these from teh Miniature Heroes website, who sells pre-owned figures. They were a bargin, and took me right back to my youth. Like many of you I owned a set of these back in the mid 80's.
I was a bit put out to be drawn against such a good entry, given that this is one of my strongest rounds this year. I had hoped for a better score. 
Oh well- nine more rounds to go. I am off to paint some hobits for round five.

Glad someone caught the pun on ol' Konstipah Ted. =)

the wizard of the second group has more of a con artist/Goodgulf about him than serious magic, I think he might have just duped his way into a hefty cut of the spoils, and that elf is winged, and their dwarf doesn't look as confident in the fight as the first one.
Ha! That's pretty much the backstory of the group. I originally intended to enter them together with two other models in the last LPL, as a group of less fortunate than average dungeon delvers. Konstipah Ted is a bit of a swindler in the Stillburg area (where our SBH campaign takes place).

I was a bit put out to be drawn against such a good entry
Likewise mate, I opened up the entry when only three votes had been cast and I was sure I'd get crumped. Like your chaps a lot!
