Excellent entry Hubbabubba, great paint jobs and very nice figures, I'm getting a well deserved beating this round. Thanks to everyone who voted for me though  :D

These are both stunning entries...and from complete opposite ends of the spectrum.  Wonderful muted colors on great sci-fi pieces vs. saturated colors on great old lead in a very well done setting... How's a man to decide?

Well done to both painters.

The work on the classic undead is excellent, but my vote goes for Haqqislam.

I agree with Blue - both of these are lovely entries, but very, very different in look and style. Of course, that's one of the things I love about the LPL!

Two great entries. Again very nice models Pil, I thought it was your entry when I saw the title :D Great stuff. It truly is becoming an Army of Darkness, isn't it.

Those Haqqislam are awesome. The models are very nice and I love the subdued colours you choose for them!

Ooh, those HaQ mek things are very nice! No idea what they are, but lovely!

Pil, love your undead as always! Wish you had a better pic, it's hard to tell how many minis are in that shot.  o_o

Everyone thanks for the kind words, you'll be seeing much more undead this LPL from me but also some other things. 8)

There are five models but I agree the picture is rather vague. I blame the pre-LPL stress (taking three pictures at one time) and the post-round 1 laziness of not re-shooting this entry. I find cavalry difficult to photograph and it shows a bit ;)

I didn't take a lot of extra pictures yet but at some point in time I will have to do a re-shoot of the entire army and I'll also have to make pictures of all my death riders together 8)

Both unusual sets of figures and both very nicely done. I'll just shut my eyes and take a stab at this one....
