Superb Dr M. I knew that was your entry as soon as i looked at it. You are the master storyteller in your entries. Very well done.

Love those Copplestone cave people (in fact, i might even have painted a few myself for this LPL  ;))

This is a close match up - love those stone age miniatures, and the skin tones are wonderfully done, but I also love the detail on the Heavy Metal entry, plus I've always loved the Star Moguls models (the two in the foreground, called something else now - Salvage Crew?). When all else is equal (and in this case, the two entries are top notch) it's things like story and so on that start to sway my vote, and I love the sense of narrative in the Heavy Metal entry (and the use of the baby doll's head as a piece of terrain - superb!)

It's another one of those defining LPL6 matchups, though - so close to call!

Love the story implied with heavy metal.

Really nice entry LF. I really like the clarity of your painting and the 'family group' for the cave people is a great idea. Most people seem to paint them with tattoos, I prefer your look myself. Cool setting too.

Star Moguls models (the two in the foreground, called something else now - Salvage Crew?)

Correct, the two closest are Salvage Crew figures- now available from Mega Minis. They're a neat range of Necromunda-ish space scum that I've been meaning to paint up for a while now. The guy with the grinder isn't stock though- he has a headswap from a Heroclix Thug and I gave him an iPod and earbuds with greenstuff.

The Lead Adventure Atomic Mob were a lot of fun to paint, and surprisingly they took me a LOT longer than my samurai entries. Pretty much lost my lead time on this entry, it will be down to the wire from here  o_o

Thanks for the comments all, appreciated!

The new head looks great, Dr Mathias, and the iPod conversion is inspired! I love the chunk of the baby statue's head lying on the ground where he's just chopped it out with the angle grinder - fantastic!

This was a really, REALLY tough decision.  Closest match of the round for me.  Apologies that I can't vote for both!

The difference in voting totals DOES NOT reflect how close this match really is.

I was a really hard job to choose JUST ONE of the two GREATLY PAINTED entries.

Best wishes to both.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!
