I love the little creatures Gem but that scene's straight out of Flashman, brilliant smooth paintwork Doc  :-*

Wow. The stripes! The cloth! The desert painted in the glasses of the protagonist! (or he is the antagonist in this case?). Just brilliant, Dr_Mathias!  :-*

Really beautiful painting Gem, these sorts of figures really appeal to me and you did a fantastic job on them. The setting makes it even better.

This round was something of a personal challenge of mine. The Eureka civilians have been in my lead pile for a long time, maybe longer than anything else barring some Foundry DA I got around the same time about ten years ago. I simply had to get them done and complete the set, especially since the rest of them showed up in my first ever LPL entry in Season 5. They're great figures and I have no clue why it took me so long to get to them. I felt like I had to get the last Hasslefree Nubian warrior done as well, since her compatriots showed up in the previous LPLs. None of these things fit in the round 10 theme  ;)

Sadly I broke my own LPL rule of 'no new figures' for this round... I felt like I needed the pelisse, so I had to buy a box of Perry Hussars at the last minute (arriving Thursday) to get one :-I

Both gorgeous pieces of work.

Gem-I recognize the Snail Cartographer from Dark Sword. Are the Platypus and the Archer theirs as well?

The wizardly snail with "wanderlust" finally made it! The true meaning of keeping the house(hold) with ya!! That snail surely is the last in turn everywhere ... but if You sneak up behind it ... Your're stuck, too! ^^

both entries deserve to win!

Phew - decision made, but it was soooo close. I also just noticed the Lord of the Rings reference in the title of the animals entry (a bit slow this morning), which made me chuckle.

I went Harem purely based on how our man seems to be soooo pleased with himself! lol

Really wonderful work from both! Certainly the most difficult choice this round.
