Thanks, found her ;)
Any idea how they size up with Conquest minis?

Post by: mikedemana on April 08, 2012, 05:10:57 PM: Most of my stuff is Conquest Minis, and they size up perfectly with them. And thanks, coggon, for ID-ing the figs, as I honestly didn't know. A local gamer died a couple years back, and his widow organized a "giveaway" for his friends. I picked those up there -- and they were in a ziploc bag.

Looking at my entry, I see I rushed them at the end to meet the deadline. The eyes are a step backwards from my recent work. Plus, I could have taken multiple photos to show detail (like the design I did on the hem that you can't see for the stone wall - d'oh!). Most of all, though, I see my skill at dry-brushing faces and blending colors to look natural is nowhere near what some folks do on this site.

And Lazarus: 16 figures! Wow, I bow to your superior numbers...I'm way too lazy to do that many for a round!!! Love the detail on the clothes.

Great :)
And if now one of you gents would have a spare one of the shooting woman my day would be perfect :D

Both entries are!

As to the painting, both entries are very well done and staged beautifully. That being said the Basti/Cats are my clear favorite. The detail on the hero models in the inset pics is outstanding. Well done Lazarus.

On behalf of both of us, thanks!

My friends will doubtless laugh at the irony of me being bested by cats. I am allergic to cats, plus have had an ongoing problem with neighborhood or stray cats befouling the bushes by my front door...! lol
