Don't feel bad about that, Wesfalia. I think this is a typical example of how miniatures are not just judged by the quality of the painting. I for one thought both were excellent but I have no deeper knowledge of the world of Robert E. Howard (apart from the Tarzan/Johnny Weizmuller flicks I saw as a kid. Weird War seems to have a broader appeal in this forum.

Edit: I just figured out that Tarzan is a Rice Burroughs creation, go figure. So it sort of proves my point.

I don´t. But I just have to let out a little whine, just like the grape in the mixer.

:lol:

That´s the ugly part of Teutonic Efficiency. We´re always bitching like hell when we lose a competition to a better-skilled person. Especially the modellers. Be happy you didn´t have to read the comments on the Golden Demon competitions of the last years - the distilled hatred dripping at the French who DARE to travel ~1000km to win those butt-ugly trophies is a most disgusting thing. Not that they actually took into account that the German painters´ entries were pretty crappy compared to the Frenchies´.

I would have LOVED to read those. I am a very petty man myself and I always seek to improve myself in that department by learning from the masters.

If it's any consolation Chris, for me this one was the hardest choice of all!

Excellent work, Agis.


Thanks!  :)
We'll see how it works all out in the long run.
Our pair-up is just one of those "unfitting" pairs!

The vote will go to whatever of them you like more... :wink:
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de
