This was a tough decision!  Great work on both entries.

I've really emjoyed seeing your Weird war stuff Arcturus (I assume it was you that produced it in other rounds)
Chambers as ever your painting is extraordinarily good

Does it seem to anyone else that entries with vehicles (even very well done ones like this one) don't always do as well as you think they are going to in the voting?

Or is it just me?  o_o

I think part of the problem (if indeed there is one) is that vehicles take up so much space that you can't always show the figures off as well as you would like. Especially if you have a big vehicle and you want to show the whole thing.

Should be a big challenge in Round 10.

Once again, the difference in votes DOES NOT reflect how hard was to pic an entry.

IMHO both are winners.

Thanks for posting such beautiful paint jobs.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

As for this match, that is one wicked-looking vehicle. Nice weathering!

The Morats look as good as the ones you did last year Chambers, smashing painting for sure.

No, it's not just you. Figures tend to trump vehicles in LPL voting most of the time.
