Is that George R R Martin standing by the canal in his Breton cap?  :o  ;)
Great scene Matt.

Lovely work Chris. Can't really beat those foxy Copplestone faces on the two in the middle, can you?

Very nice Bugsda, beautiful. Your group certainly has better contrast and a powerful visual impact. I think I shall be unhorsed, deservedly so :)

Excellent work Doc, it ain't over yet. ;)

As far as paintwork goes there's nothing to choose between them, I wish I could say the moody lighting was deliberate.  lol

Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Close call.  The Romans are well painted but lack any scenery.  I wonder why most have no helmet?  The shields are too bright and shiny and un-dented if this is supposed to represent a late in the battle scene.

 The British types have nice variation within a minimal uniform.  Well served by a simple but effective background.  They need a dog in the scene to really complete the action, Corgi or Scotty.
I am interested in land warfare throughout history and beyond, except the Seven Years War, in Europe.

Very hard choice as both are brilliant! Wondered who the soldiers of the queen are made by?
