Two nice entries here. The beasts look nice and beastly :) I also like the bright colours of the second entry as well as the 'action' portrayed on the base.

Two great entries! It's good to see the beastmen again in alonewithmyaxe's natural colour choice. The dramatic action in the Napoleonic command group is also a great use of a multi-figure base! 8)

Both great but the French command edged it for me, such a dramatic and gruesome composition!

I like the randomness of the beastmen. The Naps are very colorful and full of action. Great jobs.

Great work to both! Just a hint to the second photo painter, I suggest taking multiple images and doing some merge or some other type of photography to show more of the miniature. I would have enjoyed looking at the rest if this in better detail.

And that's the problem with Beastmen - always bringing an Axe to a Gunfight.

This was to vote to see who would win in a battle, right?  lol

WOW! Thanks!

I am really happy with how this came out, rushed my other entries to get in so the quality may not be as high in the next couple of rounds... I will have to 'Ironman' it to hit all the entry windows this year, with such wonderful comments though it makes it all worth it.

Standards are very high this year as we have all already seen!

Really love Curt's clean bright colour and dramatic composition.

Thanks everyone!
Saving the last bullet... just in case.

See my wonderful BLOG of stuff!

Thanks very much for the comments guys!

Alonewithmyaxe: I really like your warband/herd! Beastmen were my first army when I started playing WHF years ago and I think you've done a great job on making them look feral and gritty. Well done, sir.

Styx: I'm in the midst of upgrading my main desktop so in the press for time to get these submitted I had to resort to my notebook which lacks Photoshop (and I was too lazy to download GIMP). I'll have to correct this for later entries as I agree, I'm not doing myself any favours.
