Greetings

I found myself staring at the standards for some time. Admiral, is that a real fringe on that standard?

The celtic warriors are a great sight too. Well defined. You'll forgive me if I point out a small detail from the standard. The uppermost (triangle?) part of the standard is not really level and some white is peeking through. You might perhaps follow the edges of the standard with a red colour.

Both top notch entries.
Thank you and good luck
Jo

The standard is a GMB one; I only reworked the fringe by cutting and re-painting.

Two amazing entries! Unbelievable, really unbelievable.

Admiral, I love the whites and the whole scene. Particularly nice.
Figouze, I love all the detail work, really makes it  special.


Cheers

Great match-up! The Virginia Command is lovely in their light colour schemes and excellent scenic surroundings. Brian Boru on the other hand is also an impressive collection of warriors and I like the severed head especially. Well done to you both!

Agreed, very cool entries. Tough pick!

I agree, this is going to be a tough call. Very much like both entries.

Both this and the Resistance/Rohirrim match had me stumped for quite a while.
Tough match ups!

Lovely work to both of you - only to be expected from a pair of wily old warriors  ;)
Great figures, great painting.
