The 3rd tie in this round that has left me having to stop and have a long think prior to voting, a lot of tight matches this round.

Beautiful glowing yellow tones on those Averlanders, Chris! I do love to see a racially diverse Empire force (something that GW appear to have gotten away from in recent years).

Criminy, there's a lot of tough calls this round.

These are both great old-school examples... right in the heart ;)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

 :-* :o :-* Wow Admiral...what a great little scene you've created there....and as usual the painting is fantastic!  the Blue on the one wizards robes is incredible!  I'm jealous of your scenery too....Something I must address before the next LPL.

Thanks to all for the comments on the Averlanders...these classic figures were a real pleasure to paint.  Black and yellow are not colors that I normally have to tackle so this was a good chance to push my skills a bit...having great characterful figures makes that an enjoyable process.

Cheers,

Blue

Both excellent. Great painting on the Averlanders; wonderful scene with the undead, and flawlessly painted.

Both are very very nice!  Admiral do you care to share your bone technique?
