Another tough choice,love the blue on the cultists and the Afghan leaders turban and flag look great.
-
Dolmot, I think those are your finest cultists yet. Love the deep, rich blue against the green of the tentacles. Very smooth blending. And the candles are a lovely touch of detail.
Michael - another stunning scene from the Northwest Frontier :-*
The old guy with the long white beard and the stripey pugaree is a wonderfully painted character.

Not yet, Richard. Just another round for the cavalry ... still busy painting on those ... ;D
Dolmot, fantastic painting. I suggest you'll get a LAF title of honour: Master of manifold cults!

That red and gold turban....! :o
Those blues... :-*
Wow, gentlemen!

Stunning both!
Where are those cultists from?
Dolmot, just like BUgsda I knew that was your entry from the title! Ypu must have more painted cultists that I have minis (or have had hit dinners!)
-
Normally I would vote for Michael given almost any competition, but those cultists are just too damn smooth and funny looking. Nice work Dolmot! :D
And as always, a cracking scene from the Admiral.
-
I love both of these for completely different reasons. :)
The cultists are fab and a great scene. (Who makes the cultists? I need some for a future project. ::) )
The Pathans and the scene, very dynamic.
(I would be tempted to buy some but just can't sacrifice the limited hobby time on Perry metalwork clean up. :-[ )

Don't mind them, they're just Pathan through.
Lots of NWF this LPL, all beautiful and beautifully posed!
Those cultists are gloriously icky and the blue of the robes is great. Who makes them?

In a pinch (like my situation totally was a month ago), cultists are a handy way to paint a two-colour entry. Often you can skip painting eyes too. However, I suspect people are starting to see through my bluff. lol
The minis are from a Midlam kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1662635043/cultists-of-the-kraken-lord/). Their previous KS items are already available in their normal webstore so I'd assume these will be quite soon as well. I was planning to paint the two big guys as statues, but time was really limited so I concentrated on the main entry, following the rule "if in doubt, keep it simple" or "minis first". The circle/well is recycled from an earlier LPL entry.
The most time-consuming part here (well, maybe not literally) was photography. I had to re-shoot this at least five times, first pushing and blowing stuff to right places, then getting the "perfect shot" but ultimately noticing in the final processing stage that there was very obvious sand on the sitting guy's lap. Drat. Sixth shoot it is, then. ::)
I'm actually a bit surprised by how well my painted sand and real sand are blending here...
