ROUND 5 Up The Nile! vs Parthians Beware! (15mm)

[Captain Blood]

[Ray Rivers]

The camels are just tooo awesome.   

[Admiral Benbow]

Tellus, that's one of the very best painted 15 mm units I've ever seen! Absolutely gorgeous!

I second that!

Both entries: Superb!

[Svennn]

They are absolutely superb but are they not Perry's 28mm?

[Admiral Benbow]

They are absolutely superb but are they not Perry's 28mm?

Oh, you're of course correct, Svennn, I got confused with the 15 mm in brackets for the Parthians. 

But nevertheless, this Camel Corps unit is stunning and one of the best painted miniatures units even in 28 mm.

So true, and the figures are damn good too.

Great work on the camels - mean looking b'tards

[Tellus]

Thank's for your kind words.But the hardest part was getting that shot out of my camera.It took me about 4 hours.I nearly went..

[Mr.J]

Well I am surely getting my bum kicked this round!
Got to say it's one of those occassions where I don't mind as your mini's look awesome!
I nearly did the new Artizan camels for this round until my empty wallet intervened.
Anywho just thought I'd comment and say how great your entry is, well done!

I think you've just been deeply unlucky this round, Mr J.  Your cataphracti are really nice, especially as they are 15mm minis and would beat many other entries this week (my own included) hands down.  Its just, as you say, Tellus' entry which is awesome

Sorry and thank you,I like your sportsmanship!You did a good job on those 15mm,too.I like the way the barding and the facemasks came out.The lighting is a bit too indifferent, it takes one a second look to see the effort you've put into your entry.

@Keeper
thanks

[Mr.J]

To be honest they're a bit of a hurried job, I wasn't expecting to do particularly well with them but thought even if I lose I still get the bonus points for entering cavalry.

[Captain Blood]

True - you do!

I fear that the smaller scales rarely prosper in this competition against the opportunities afforded by 28mm figures... 

[Mr.J]

Very true, I did ok last week with 20mm but I think that is an exception to the general trend.

[Hitman]

Nicely done. Love the camels!!
