Greetings

I found myself staring at the standards for some time. Admiral, is that a real fringe on that standard?

The celtic warriors are a great sight too. Well defined. You'll forgive me if I point out a small detail from the standard. The uppermost (triangle?) part of the standard is not really level and some white is peeking through. You might perhaps follow the edges of the standard with a red colour.

Both top notch entries.
Thank you and good luck
Jo

The standard is a GMB one; I only reworked the fringe by cutting and re-painting.

Two amazing entries! Unbelievable, really unbelievable.

Admiral, I love the whites and the whole scene. Particularly nice.
Figouze, I love all the detail work, really makes it  special.


Cheers
Andy

Great match-up! The Virginia Command is lovely in their light colour schemes and excellent scenic surroundings. Brian Boru on the other hand is also an impressive collection of warriors and I like the severed head especially. Well done to you both!

this was the hardest choice ,well done both of you

Both this and the Resistance/Rohirrim match had me stumped for quite a while.
Tough match ups!

Lovely work to both of you - only to be expected from a pair of wily old warriors  ;)
Great figures, great painting.

This was hard - I could fully expect either set to start walking off of their own accord. Wonderful, and a VERY hard call.

The cool thing about these 2 awesome entries is the clear difference in styles. Both showcase the strengths of their chosen method. Great entries, and I agree a very, very difficult choice!

This one came the closest this round to needing a "Both!" button! I didn't quite flip a coin to cast my vote, but damn close.

Only 5 votes apart as I write this, too, so I'm not the only one.

(final vote totals within five count as a tie, do they not?)

after my decision it was 173 vs 172 ... jesus!!! While writing it turned to 173 vs 173 ... deserved, though it is somehow "sad" not to habe a clear winner.

well done!

best wishes

Wow  :o

Two great entries, with the only comment on them that the pictures both could benefit from a crisper photo. Somehow I have the feeling with both that some of the amazing quality of the work done got lost in translation to picture  ;)
