Sithious and BillFerny for me this month.

Sithious your distinctive style and the NMM swung it for me, perfect for these models.

Randy - that cloak dude!!! Outstanding man!

So many quality paint jobs again this month. These challenges are getting crazy!!!!!

Great month guys! Amazing work all-round! These challenges have really picked up lately! :D

We went in for Halauas and DMS. Well done.

Nice to have 2 votes. Don't know what we would have done otherwise!

Oh wow! I could easily vote for 5/6 people. I think however I will go with my first WOW moments and vote for Sithious and Wah Wing. That snakebite pattern :shock:

Also, the purple on the Khandish works a treat, plus the banner looks awesome and compliments the purple perfectly.

Congrats to everyone else though, this is a tough challenge to vote on.

WOW. I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon of the people who say this every time, but this month is, I believe, the most consistently fantastic I've ever seen. Every LAst entry here is breathtaking, and while some do stand out, it'll be difficult to assign 2 votes to them.

Wow! That was a tough decision. Great entries by all. Seeing all of these models together is very inspiring, and makes me want to try even harder to paint at a higher level.

My votes though had to go to Eric's Half Trolls and BillFerny333's Khamul the Easterling. I love how smooth the transition is between skin tones on the trolls and the molten cracks on Khamul's cloak are stunning!Magnificent work, to everyone.

As usual I'm blown away with the high standards of entries but Halauas gets it for me this time, beautifully converted and painted Easterlings.

An outstanding group of entries, but I couldn't go past Sithious' inspired snake skin watchers. A brilliant idea brilliantly executed. Second place - everyone else!

It was super hard to choose.
Sithious - Keep working on it.
Aule the Valar - awesome work on Gorbag and Shagrat. The colors are perfect for them. The eye on the chest was a sharp idea too.
Ar-pharazon - Dude those are fantastic. Great conversions, very original work.
Joshuar-au - perfect execution of the standard colors. I love that scheme and used it on mine too. You make me want to take a look at them again and see if I can tighten anything up. Great job.
Halauas - No joke, I seriously want to buy more guys and copy that idea. Those look awesome. Paint Jobs are fantastic and you try some interesting color blends on the cloak and uniforms. Super work.
BillFerny333 - That is very cool cloak. The molten color is such a nice contrast. Like the golden yellow inner robes. great scheme overall for sure.
Karavatis - the base work alone is fantastic. I must say those models look very sharp. All the details and various colors you worked with here are stunning.
Haradrim - this looks like a fun project. You did a great work on the armor on the horses and the conversions themselves are well executed.
Bandobras Took - Love it. Great colors, well painted and a fantastic base.
Baardeend - Solid concept and color scheme. I would like to see better photo's of the model as I think that the pattern is a great idea for this model.
Eric - great work. You have achieved a very realistic tone and texture with this paint job. They look fantastic.
PowerOfWill - that is a very bold challenge you faced to pull that off. The overall scheme is great, the skin tone is perfect and the yellow as a spot color is working very well. Then you get to the cloak and you really did something that is tricky there. Good work. I hope you don't have to try to make that pattern on your whole army. :shock:
Dead Marsh Spectre - for a newbie you are coming along great. :) Seriously though, the glowing effect is very original and very well executed, I hate to see what will happen if you actually give yourself time to really work on an entry some month, cause you last minute work is always well done. I am sure you are getting used to working under the clock anyway. I won't mention the bases, they are always well thought out and beyond me.
Valpas - that is crazy. I have never seen that scheme before. I would be interested to see how you would tackle a hero or banner in this scheme that can showcase it more on better sculpts.
Orc-archer - That is a mean white warg you got there. Great paintjob.
Wah Wing - Very original color choice. The banner is especially good.
