Yes. Nice one. Great match up. I placed my vote then saw they were scored even.

Me too, 26-26! Both fantastic entries.

[Dr Mathias]

Holy smokes, there are some beauties this round. I really like those orcs in the bottom pic, I'm not familiar with them... are they Mithril?

[Mason]

 

Two beautiful entries, and just the one vote.........

Amazing work from both of you and judging by the voting, the one to watch this round.
37-37 with my vote! 
 

[Bugsda]

Excellent  Tough choice, love Heldrak's colours and Tsar's bases and strung bows 

[Atheling]

Gotta love those old miniatures and the clas painting job too  .

 This one was also tough as they both were excellent, much better than any feeble attempt I could do.  I deicded upon the Mithril Miniatures as I have a number of those in my collection and they seemed like old friends.

[Laughing Ferret]

I love those Mithril Orcs. Always have.  wished I'd bought a lot more of them back when they were more readily available and affordable.

[Blackwolf]

Lovely round chaps

[Frank]

Both are fantastic! And the faces of the Fellowship miniatures are the best I have ever seen! Beautiful work on the Mirthril miniatures as well.

[valleyboy]

Heldrak, the faces on those figures look real

[Heldrak]

Thanks, gang. Faces are where I spend the most time and effort, so it's nice to know that it shows... 

Interestingly, I got these figures when they were first released, I started Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf to test out the Foundry paint system and then they all languished in my lead pile for a decade or so. The bonus theme round was an excellent opportunity to get them finished. I was working on some Moria Goblins for them to fight, but I completely bitched them up and I had to drop them from my entry.

Kudos to Tsar' for some beatiful figures (and some stiff competition!). If my Goblins had looked half as good as his orcs, I would have had no qualms about submitting them.

Thanks Heldrak !
Great round yes ! even if I see my defeat comming  ... slowly ... step by step ...
But seriously, I agree, your faces are fantastic, you deserve to win
