Once again, I wish for a "Both" option - the VIPER agents are beautifully done, but look at the pea-dot camo and white effects on those Germans...

Very difficult to choose between they are both great.
But the paint job on the smaller scale faces swings it(just) for me.

One of the hardest choices in this round. Both are so very nice...good painting, good photography and the total result is superb. In the end I voted for the first entry because of the facial expressions of the miniatures. They just ooze coolness.

Both entries are really nice! Seems to be the theme of this round :D

The setup of the second appeals more to me then the first (seems like a line-up). The amount of detail (especially the eyes) on the 20mm just blew me away and hence I voted for the second one. Although I must see that the pinstripes are excellent!

Both are superb.
Bravo, to you both.
The stripes on the korean chap pants: excellent!
Snow effect also.

I''m with Raz on this one. The painting on both is excellent but in the end the lovely tank and the incredible detail on 20mm figs won when compared to the lineup in front of colour-printed scenery. The painting is really, really nice on the first entry as well though!

I must say those Germans are fantastic. They get my vote.
At time of typing the score is 40/40...

Love the VIPER line-up but I went on theme here...
