Greetings

what a start. First entry and already a tie.  :D Marvelous

I like the Rohirrim, they are colorful.
But the Resistance .. oh my. I like the minis (btw. who makes them?), and the color tone with the rover and the house is very fitting. Very well done.

Good luck both of you

I may not be Michelle of the Resistance, but I shall say this only once...

Why do such wonderful painters have to make it so hard to choose? lol

Bloody hell!

First match-up I look at, and already I cannot decide.

Great work, both of you!

This is tough indeed. Lifelike subdued colours versus wonderfully bold colours seems to be a theme this round... ???

Thanks for two great entries guys, now to choose between them...

Blackwolf, it's great to see you are back in the League! I look forward to your every entry! This one is great, the Land Rover looks a bit large next to the models but I'm sure it's less apparent on the table. The Rohirrim look great Old Coast! The painting is great and the colours are very well chosen, especially the green. The horses look great too!

Blackwolf back in action, the most unique LPL painter in my opinion. I can always tell which entry is yours... there's a certain tonality, along with realism and a great scene.

Good to see Old Coast back as well! Clean painting, great detail... love the bases. Well done :)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Love the subdued colors of Blackwolf and the bright colors of Old Coast.

Beautiful work Blackwolf - I'm trying to persuade the wife that we need a Landie and the one in your pic will do nicely!  8)

Loving the vivid colours and brushwork on the Rohirrim too!

Both very nice work, but really like the atmosphere on the resistance.
