Post by: ugsome on March 20, 2011, 02:47:13 PM: Nothing to say. The Madhist are really stunning.
I must find some way to manipulate my pictures to make them seem better painted
or bribe the judge for a better match up. :)

What happens... luck of the draw.

Frank-Just a question. Are you painting all your miniatures like this
or only when participating in LPL?

Post by: oxiana on March 20, 2011, 03:38:45 PM: Wonderful work on the Mahdists - I especially like the horses. It pains me point out (sorry!) that you've got the banner mounted the wrong way up however: the Arabic writing is upside down...

Great work on both entries though.

Yes, I know!!! :-[ I saw it 5 minutes after I have finshed the flag...nobody is perfect ;)...by the way, we made a bet how long it would take that somebody find out what is wrong with the flag :D

If you translate the flag, it actually says 'If you can read this, you're too close'! ;)

Title: Re: ROUND 2 Followers of The Mahdi vs Bloody Mary
Post by: ugsome on March 22, 2011, 06:20:00 AM: The girl with the goblet is actually standing on the back of the old GW Cauldron(not a conversion).
The girl with the knife is supposed to hover, so she have a flight stand.

It's the woman with the knife I meant.

Post by: ugsome on March 22, 2011, 10:07:26 AM: It was a simple clear plastic rod that came with the miniature from Ral Partha.

She's the old Ral Partha Crucible Infernal Elf Spoiler, if that's your question (still available from Ral Partha Europe).
Title: Re: ROUND 2 Followers of The Mahdi vs Bloody Mary
Post by: ugsome on March 22, 2011, 11:46:26 AM: Thank Heldrak for being able to read and answer the question. :)

Sort of, she's very much like a Mage Knight figure and I was about to compliment ugsome on his conversion skills, as well as his painting skills. This is the figure I thought it was.

No problem. I wouldn't vote for myself.:)

When it comes to converting that is way beyond my skills.

That would explain the similarity.
