Both -excellent- entries. After much thought, it was the painting on the dinosaurs that won my vote, but as with -all- of the entries, it could have gone either way for me.

Two very good paintjobs.  In the end, I voted for Commerian Heroes, but as much for comic appeal as for the paintjob.

Two great entries :)

I went for the first entry as I like the more comic book colours chosen and I think that they go well with the figures, particularly Red Sonja herself: her picture could be the cover of a comic.  The dinos are great too and I havent even mentioned Battle Cat ;)

The photos could do with being a little larger IMO: I could do with seeing a little more of the figures.

The second entry looks a little too "sepia" for my liking, probably to do with the photography technique?  Apart from the two female miniatures, I dont really like the sculpting style of the miniatures, whioch has a bearing on my gut reaction I suppose. Obviously, Grimms painting is as ever, brilliant.

A close call decided in my case by the (to my mind) less appealing photography style in one of the entries.

The second entry is too bright. It is hard to see some of the detail. The background and the miniatures are fantastic. Love the dino too

I very humbly suggest that if you're going to title your entry "Red Sonja the She Devil With a Sword" that you give her more focus- The blond barbarian in the cape gets three detail photos and the Sonja figure is kind of shunted off to the side in the grouping.

I'm just sayin' is all... ::)

The one guy looks kinda like 'man-at-arms' with the orange helmet. Also, love battlecat and Red Sonya but the dinos won you my vote.  :-*
