Was out of town, so I missed the entry deadline for round 4.

Fine job, Mr. Chambers.

You folks just aren't making these decisions easy, are you?

Great work on both.

I love those savages, the models are great and the paintjob makes them look really gritty! The other entry is good too but of course not new 8)

The first entry uses my favorite Copplestone miniatures so that's a real treat. I think the photography also works better than in the previous entries as they look less harsh and it all clicks together more. The painting is terrific and the bases look superb.
On the other hand, froggie's entry still stands as a very cool one. I still love those terminatoresque robots a lot and the details in the captive and the blasted one are super.

Where comes the captive from? I don't recall having her seen before.

Good job both of you

The Savages are extremely well done and the bases, although simple are very effective. The second group are nicely done, but when comparing colour, shading, etc....it's a tough act to follow...

Ms. Chloe Paxton is (I think) "Circe" from Heroclix, converted and repainted.

When I saw that I was competing with Herr Froggy, I looked forward to seeing what kit bashed miniatures that I was up against and I was not disappointed

Thanks for the great comments. As SM stated the Wasteland Savages are from EM But when I purchased them, they were from Grenadier (stored for what seems like a lifetime in a "man-size" safe)  :D

You can't go wrong with Copplestone.
