Tough one...

Very, very tough choice! I first wanted to vote for the first one...then the second one...no, the first one...and in the end I voted for the second one because of the volume of painted miniatures. Painting 8 miniatures while 5 is the minimum is very nice. And yes, Hitler in his Wolfenstein suit just rocks 8)

I voted for the second one as well. The first one looks like the models have a slightly better paintjob but the whole sinister look of the second picture (you really get the dungeon feel) made it my winner.

Yes, both are very well executed. It's a tough choice.

The second is more inspired!

I agree this is tough to decide. In the end I tried not to be swayed by the surrounding but by the painting of the miniatures themselves. And here the first entry convinced me with with tiny details and an overall more accurate feel to them.

Of course this is not to say the other one is bad - quite the opposite.

Nice jobs both! I love the subject of #2. In the end it was "Mancha" because of the execution and detail to the figures. WELL Done! This is a very good match up; both sets of figures are a very difficult paint. German uniform "green/grey" and "Black" are both tough to get right and the work involved sometime is not appreciated. The look of the goggles and the flawless blending of sections of the figures on "Manchas" are great!

I want to thank everyone for their feedback on the match-up.
