Round 5 - Locate and Terminate! vs. Seshep-Ankhs, the Living Images

I admit it, I voted for my esteemed opponent.  Great work, great miniatures.  Those are Mantic Ghouls doing double duty as Spaaaaace Zombies...?  Very nice figures.  And I love the work on the radar panel of the device!  Great work all 'round.

My entry is a unit of 'Seshep-Ankh's', the Living Images - statues animated by a tiny sliver of the Ka of a To-tanem Artifex in Wargods of Aegyptus.  The ram-guy is a Bronze Khemru, an animated statue from a campaign scenario written by my buddy Clarke Payne last year.  I thought that a unit of animated statues would make a nice 'team', since I didn't have any zombies finished.

Wow, another great pairing, and once again, a difficult decision. Being both a Sci-Fi fan and a guy who does Ancients for a living, more or less, I'm very much impressed with both.

One question for you, NS, if you don't mind. Where's the device from? Or is it a scratchbuild?

Very good entry Northstar ! The mugshots are a nice touch 

[Sterling Moose]

Two great entires - difficult to choose between them.

Both cracking pictures, and Mr North Star you convinced me to buy the Ghouls so now have 30 bits of plastic on the way

Thanks guys, and hat off to you too Alex for such a fine entry! Kind of made me gulp, as I thought you would get the best of me this round! 
Very nicely themed, I love those mythological figures...gotta get me some one day!
(this league is bad for me as it vastly expands my lead mountain!)

@Doc: well, it's not scratchbuilt. I bought it at a second hand market for 20 cents, couldn't resist!
So far I don't exacly know what it is, it says "Hasbro Inc" on the back along with MACAO. It is dated too with a copyright year but I can't make it out anymore due to some scratches, 1987 maybe.
My best guess so far is that it's some sort of backpack/accessory from MASK of GI Joe, possibly a gadget that came with something Happy Meal-ish.

@Lowtardog: the Mantic Ghouls were an impulse buy as I ordered Wargames Factory zombies but they hadn't arrived along with the rest of my order so now I was left without zombies less than a week before they were due!
As I requested for something that could pass for zombies the store owner recommended these and €11/£10/$15 (with store discount) for a box with 10 figures I was saved!

What can I say to both of you?

Well done, lovely themes and nicely painted...

Close one.
