A really tough one. I really like the colours by Chambers, they're always vivid and well done. And Franks tone downed colouring is amazing as well.
Pass!

Damn you, Frank. Though I would associate House Stark more with the Perry's Azincourt range, these are a fantastic idea and great use of plastic sets. You've got me thinking...
The Morat are extremely well done as well, I just prefer Frank's idea.

I don`t think I can vote, as they are both so nice. Where are the mini's from fo both entries? and who are the guys in franks picture? they have an intereting mix of war gear.

This was a very difficult decision. I kept having to go away and come back and look again before I could bring myself to vote, Both excellent!  :-*

Man this is the hardest choice of this round!  I love the "cartoony" clean crisp painting from Chambers...a style I strive for myself...but the realistic quality of Frank's entry is equally appealing....man decisions... decisions!

Excellent work guys...you're both an inspiration.

Cheers,

Blue

I LOVE the variety of entries Patrick Chambers presents every LPL, and his paintjob is excellent.  But WOW, I love the way the whole winter scene works together, with the icy penants, the cold metals, etc.

Two great entries guys! Tough choice. The Morat are painted very nice and the atmosphere of the second entry is just stunning, time to ponder on it I guess :)

Damn these are both excellent entries. Two clear distinct styles both executed beautifully.

I am a big fan of "Song of Ice and Fire" and I really like the fantastic plastic WoR Perry miniatures. The Story of Ice&Fire is based on the War of the Roses (more or less). So, I though it is a good idea to use these miniatures. To add some Fantasy feeling I used some heads, shields and weapons from the plastics GB Vikings.

I really think this is the matchup of this round for me. Both entries are fantastic, the alien things (what are they, anyway?) are great and vivid while the GoT army has an amazing setting and theme. You almost expect to see plumes of breath above the unit.
