haha, the tits didn't make it this time, again. Maybe I am getting old, huh?

I know the freebooter's fate miniatures. tricky to glue them and even more so to paint! But somehow the choice of colors and the metal (and the wood* from the shield, dunno why) from the magnificent seven made it for me. However ... these are most strangest western gunmen I've ever seen! lol

Two great entries guys! The crisp painting and bold colours of the warriors are very nice, but the amazons sure have a lot going for them as well. I love their skintones and the natural colours of their clothing and equipment.

I like the crocodile armour! Very realistic colors. The vikings have some nifty armor too, though... Hard choice!

Two great entries! I love the crocodile head as well. Actually, the natural colours on the entire entry work very well and the leopard skin looks great as well 8)

The colourful job on the classic Citadel lead looks great as well, very nice entry admiral 8)

Awesome job on both...I went back and forth on this matchup. I'd loved to see more detail on the tattoos on the Amazons. The basing on them makes them seem to melt into the scenery as if they aren't miniatures at all. Great job!

Thanks for the comments chaps.

@ mikedemana - I was hoping to blend them into the background as I figured they would be much more likely to ambush unsuspecting wanderers that way.  I decided not to give them tatoos at this point - may revisit that later.

@ Drachenklige - sorry, they're covered up.
