two great entries! I love the character of the old citadel studd, and those Ral partha minis stand up really well in the face of time!

These are examples of why I love the LPL
2 superb entries and the toughest choice of the round but I've made one though it seems unfair not to give something to the other
pure class both

I agree with Tomsche - this is shaping up to be the league of leagues. What a match-up this one! Beautiful rich colours, crisp details, lovely backdrops. Stunning stuff from both!
