Oooh, tough one - both lovely entries. Really like the red/green/brown hues on the face masks there DJ, and Blue - you're giving Captain Blood a run for the money with these rich blues and reds.

Couple of great entries.

I keep seeing figures in the LPL I don't recognise.  Who makes the "Immortal Battalion" figures?

the Immortal Battalion are by Artizan. 
Not my usual style of figures but they were fun to paint.  :)

Apparently I am not the only one who had a tough time deciding.

Darth, Blue, It's too too bad that one had to lose, both should have a win here.

A brilliantly matched contest! The subjects are so far apart, but the voting is so close.

Both excellent for what they're aiming for.  Tough call.
