Great work from both entrants and very original, and different, backdrops.
:-*

Greetings
I made my vote. And now I will write something about both entries.
First off, thank you for showing us the pics, for showing us what you have painted. But...
the chaos command.. has a great background. What raises my hackles is the loveless display. You see the background colors under the base of the champion on the right rock, and the fellow on the left looks like his base was balancing. To tell a story I would have liked the bases to have a firm stand or perhaps to be covered (partially). I find the bases distracting in this picture.
the cobra command..
has also a problem with the bases. In this picture the bases seem unfinished. The rim has another color (copper? Are these coins?) and a base HQ with computer on solid ground but the minis have earth and rocks as bases ... it destroys the illusion. Here I would have liked either the floor of the computer-parts being the same earthware than the bases (Cobra Cavern base) or the single bases more modern, fitting a computer-room.
But okay, I stop with the background. For both entries I would have like a closeup of the minis, especially for the Cobra ones.
Neverless those are gorgeous entries and I hope you'll see my comments as constructive critics.
Good luck both of you

Both entries have their qualities.
The Chaos dudes have lovely detail, while the Cobra folks are very colorful.
Roll the dice... :)
-
Another two nice entries. The colour scheme of the chaos models is very nice. The COBRA models are very well done and have a great background! I'd love to see close-ups of both entries. But in the end nobody beats COBRA, except GI JOE that is ;)
-
COBRA!
-
background of chaos is very nice.
-
I love the back drops on both of these images. Really nice stuff.
Cheers

I really enjoy the color scheme in the top photo, nice work.
The Cobra Command scene is very cool, crisp painting. Who makes the figures?
-
COBRA!!!

Ha! Sadly, I cannot take credit for the background. It was painted by my wife (Dr.Chimpula as she is known around these parts) for a previous LPL entry a few years ago, The Fellowship Of The Cheese. And yes, that entry did contain actual cheese! What a gal! :D
As far as getting worked over by Cobra, what can I say. I know James personally and so will contain my venomous revenge to our next personal meeting. That way all of you in computer land will think I'm actually a swell guy... >:D
-
Very cool. I like both entries and indeed both have a very nice backdrop, albeit entirely different. The Cobra models are very colourful and I love the camo on the ninja. The Chaos models look pleasantly chatic, especially in their purplish surroundings.
-
I would like to see close ups of Cobra in the coming weeks. Great entries.
-
Very difficult choice. I went with the Chaos guys - barely - partly because I could make the models better.
-
Uncle Mike, we meet again sir! Glad to get this one out of the way early...best of luck with the rest of the League!
For the bases, they are all based on washers, as this is what I use for vitually every model these days. The rims are painted with the same brown that I use on the top and the lighting may give it a coppery colour but they are all painted.
I had several shots with a matching natural substrate under the bases that gave a more "cave/cavern base" feel to the entry but I was going for more of a Terrordome look with the wall, COBRA symbol and computer terminals, so I ended up going with this shot. In addition, as I use these figures as one of my regular VUK Cults (Serpent Worshippers, naturally), they are based to match the gaming tables that Uncle Mike and I use.
As for close-ups, I tried to put in a couple of close-ups but I found the individual backgrounds really distracted from the overall look so I decided against them. I will post a few when the round is over.

The Cobra Command scene is very cool, crisp painting. Who makes the figures?
He's from Golgo Island miniatures
are the crimson guard figures Artizan Weird War?
-
I would like a list of which figures are which, sir, so that I may 'borrow' from your ideas freely.
;) :D
-
1, is a Reaper Cyborg, 2, is Artizan, 3, Heroclix? 4, Col Zanzibar from Golgo Island, 5, Reaper? 6, Copplestone 7, Artizan and 8, Reaper Cyborb?
-
3rd entry I've seen in LPL
Third close match up and third difficult choice !
-
Here's a list of the models:
Tomax and Xamot: Reaper Chronoscope Cyborgs (Keryx, Cyborg Assassin and Slade, Cyborg Hero) with HeroClix head swaps with greenstuff hair, sash and shoulder guard conversion. The knife and pistol on the legs were random bits from my box. Obviously the Crimson Twins have everything set on opposite sides. Xamot even has the scar on his right cheek ;)
Crimson Guards: Artizan Thrilling Tales Nacht Jager (no conversions)
Destro: Reaper Chromoscope Boris Barayev, Five Suns Smuggler with hand swap, greenstuff collar conversion and a fine jewellry chain for the necklace.
Baroness: Hasslefree Dionne (a) with eyeglasses conversion
Firefly: RAFM USX Ronin (no conversions)
Cobra Commander: Golgo Island/East Riding Colonel Zanzibar with added cobra sceptor and Pulp Figures Hooded Minion head swap.
I can't take credit for this idea - special thanks to Michka's fantastic thread on LAF Future Wars for the inspiration for the project. It started with Cobra Commander and then kind of snowballed from there...
So much fun :D
-
Very nice entries both of you. Chosing was difficult, but it's done.
Interesting to see what else both of you will come up with in the coming rounds.
-
COBRA!
The Cobra Commander and Baroness looks better than the Halloween costumes I made last year ;)
-
A really nice job !

Wohohohohoa cobra command! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
