Wow those are both at an incredibly high standard. Excellent work on the shields and the cloth patterns.

The pigs are a nice touch in an otherwise very close match.

This is a very tough one to call.  Both teams are extremely good.

Very difficult choice - the shields on Trygve's warband are excellent, as is the composition on the Prof's; and both are impeccably painted overall. Decisions, decisions...

This is a particularly difficult round.  Both excellent entries.

This is a very difficult choice indeed.  But, I guess I'll have to pick... ???

Thanks, Neldoreth, I love your shield designs, stellar freehand on them, I've never been able to be that precise and imaginative painting my shields. Amazing!

Two beautiful contributions. The shield designs of Neldoreth miniatures are extraordinary, as are the paintjob on Alex Thracian garments.

To quote a much overused phrase...."both button please" :-*

Now BOTH entries are shield transfers? If not the viking work is really, really awesome!

No shield decals on the vikings, it's all freehand.

If it is Neldoreth's entry, you can be sure it is all free hand. I've been a fan of his work for years, and have learned a lot from corresponding with Joe. Check out his An Hour of Wolves and Shattered Shields website for some drop-dead, stunning work: http://www.hourofwolves.org/

This announcement was brought to you by your sponsor -- a painter who has gotten beyond his gnashing of teeth over how his work doesn't stack up to other's, and instead has become a hopeless fanboy of the abilities of certain painters. No animals were harmed in the typing of this email, though if a cat had wandered too near...
