Ooof. Another very tough choice.

Jan, as usual, the storytelling is great. Your trademark handpainted shields are as good as ever. And that is great use of the GW Flagellant heads on the right hand figures. Are they mounted on plastic bodies? I don't recognise them. Or headswaps onto metal?

Keith, the usual wonderful, clean, sharp paintwork and somehow you seem to always imbue your faces with so much expression and character. Brilliant  :)
(And with the bonus of another strange armoured contraption in the background... Sorry to betray my interwar AFV ignorance - again - but what is it?)

Keith, that is another bunch of perfectly painted BoB Miniatures. As Richard I think your ability to paint these outstanding faces is somehow extraterrestrian.
Richard, I used Black Tree Design Late Roman bodies for the conversions.

Dead heat at current time of posting! Blimey! Exciting!

I believe it is yet another French Great War tank, Richard. A Schneider, I think. Got a feeling that it was the first French tank, but I may be wrong.

Aha. Thank you both  :)

Jan, that’s a masterful scene. Your Dark Age work is among my favourites and these are every bit as good as ever. Those shields ...  :o

It’s a Schneider CA1 Richard, a classic WW1 French death-trap, one of which is rumoured to have made its way into a Chinese Warlord army in the ‘20s.

Two very strong entries. I enjoyed the dog handlers slightly more because I own them myself and found them very boring. So chapeau on making them shine!

Uff! This is very difficult choice. Both entries are terrific!

This was a very, very difficult choice - both were excellent.
