Michael, congrats to this amazing photo, everything is perfect on that scene, the setting, the darker background, the vikings and finally this unbelievably well painted grey wolf, the real eyecatcher!!

I think those frequent rushes of masses in Witchtown should not be overrated ...  8)  :D

No, really, absolutely fantastic scene, Alex, I love it! And what better use of those Eureka miniatures. I didn't buy them as I couldn't imagine any good use, but Witchtown is a fantastic home for them.  :-*

Seems I need to work on my own fantastic town setting ...  ;D


Thanks, Michael, the Eureka miniatures are very lovely, I only can recommend them. And a must-have in a fantastic town setting :)


Alex- wonderful scene! Did you paint ALL of them just for this one entry?

Of course not all of them :)  But all the freaks and the pigs, so 14 newly painted figures in this entry. The spectators are previously painted.

I've started back in December and I managed to keep the focus on the LPL teams over almost all the months since then :)

This is like "Clash of the Titans"  I know I'm not alone in saying this, but it's  damn tough choice to make.

Brilliant entries :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I don't normally bother to comment on the Painting League submissions (assume an all-round 'great job!').

But this paring is really really close. Both brilliant. I'm thinking Carnival on volume alone which isn't a good tipping point at all. Kudos to both painters. Brilliant. Not happy.

This really is a most difficult choice. Both entries are equally brilliant.

In the end I ended up with the vikings because they are vikings.

Two amazing entries gents

One so full of vibrancy and carnival and the other brooding with that fabulous wolf giving it real menace - choosing was difficult

Who makes the wolf?
