Two awesome entries...! A clash of LPL juggernauts, and it is neck and neck as you'd expect! I loved them both, but the radio button would let me vote for one no matter how many times I tried control+click.... lol lol lol

Very nice Blue, I knew this was going to be a close, close match as soon as I saw your entry. Great painting, no doubt about it.

Cor  :-* :-*
Both excellent. Looks like Dr M is just edging it at this stage... But it's still tight. Quite right too. Great match :)

A really difficult choice - you both deserve to win.

I knew I could count on you Nick!!!  Now if you could just vote a dozen more time I would appreciate it!  lol

Thanks to everyone else as well...particularly you Dr. M...an honor to face off against such a brilliant team as yours!

This is a nail biter for sure...there was a short time last night where I was up by a few...but been hanging at about 12 point difference for awhile now...

Anyway...I should really put a plug in for these Boot Hill miniatures I painted up...I fell in love with them more than a year a go when Nick Posted up the greens of the boys for Tennessee and texicans...and this was the perfect excuse to pick some up and have a go.  I wasn't as jazzed about the Mexican forces until I had them in hand....the sculpts are every bit as characterful and fun to paint as the Alamo defenders...in fact with their brighter color palette I think I enjoyed painting them even more!  I honestly had very little interest in gaming this period...but now that I have had a go at a few of these I think I'll be adding quite a few more to my collection even if its just for the fun of painting them.

@Nick...please pass along my regards to your sculptor Matthew...he does a spectacular job.

Sadly my 28mm scale Alamo mock up wasn't quite done before I had to take the pictures... lol

Cheers,

Blue

I have spent about ten times as long looking at these entries as any other entry.  Not judging, just admiring both of them.  A pairing like this makes me feel unworthy to judge!

There's usually one unfair decision to make each round. This is the one for Round 5.
Great job from both competitors.
