Love the fellowship entry, my favourite of this round!

I second that... These minis belong to the first tabletop miniatures I ever possessed. I love to see them painted on such a high standard.

Frank did an outstanding job though looking at the miniatures I now remember why I don't like the old Mithril Lord of the Rings range... Still, wonderfully painted and a great setting.

Thank you Frank, for selling me on picking up some old Mithril..seeing them painted like this is inspiring

Frank has a certain style of painting that you can recognise instantly without having to ask who painted whatever it is the picture is of. And I love it.

I have that Fellowship in the painting queue and have to say Frank has done an awesome job of polishing these, to be honest, not great sculpts. What's with the foreheads! I'll never get mine to that standard

Impressed with both entries settings. I'm going to have to find better background settings.

For whatever reason I like Mithril's style for LotR sculpts, in the same way I like some illustration styles that aren't maybe as realistic as others, but I find create an atmosphere. I still think they do the best Tolkien orcs.

Love both.
Great faces on the Fellowship figures.

I have never seem those LOTR figures painted that well before. Fantastic.

The dock and beach setting for D@rth's background really complements his figures. What a great setup.

I actually quite like the Fellowship models or maybe that's just Frank's great paintjob covering up the sculpts?

The seahorsemermanriderthing is a very cool model! Love the bright yellow on the clothes of the old man with the bird!

These two entries are my favourites of the round and you both deserve the vote!!

Both entries deserve at least a vote each and several bonus ones, these are both mouth wateringly superb and a real treat

I like both entries very much. Each for a different reason. I like the Mithril minis for LoTR and haven't ever had a problem with their sculpts (back in the day). This is some of the finest work on them I have ever seen. Awesome job.
GRENADIER Encounter got my vote on this one though. I enjoyed the entire Encounter at series. I like the diorama on this, and how you brought the enitre box set together to tell a story. GREAT job. To both of you. I'd be very proud to place all these on any game and table.
