Heck, I'm going to have to think about this one, too many great entries !!!

In the end I felt it was between Karavatis and Coenus and I'm afraid Karavatis edged it for me - that converted Chieftain is superb in every sense!

Well done all :yay:

Unfortunately I ran out of time

Oh well maybe I'll get an entry in next month...

Didn't realise there were so many finished entries, what with all the people not quite (or not at all) able to finish theirs in time (many models required; short month).
Only disadvantage: will require a good long think ere I feel confident in picking the best of the bunch!

Awesome entries everybody! :yay:

Needs time to think. Awesome entries! Did it mention it already...? :-D

A tough decision, as often it is. Had to go with John Wayne's dwarves though, they're looking good so well done

Well done to everyone else who painted and managed to get their minis in, as I didn't. Excellent entries from y'all :-)

Great work, hard to vote at the moment, going to think about it.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 6:07 pm

I've gone for Coenus for the amount of realism in the smallest of Hobbit faces, a talent that few can hold a candle to.

Highlordell · **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 7:19 pm

I voted Karavatis. The Watchers are very nicely done in a unique scheme, but that Mahud King, holy Devlan Mud...
Never seen anything like it, though I do wonder how he manages to see anything with that trunk in his face...

John Wayne's Dwarves were a close second.

What are those Elcanter did, balrog babies?
For me John Wayne's dwarfs were a nice cohesive bunch.

This get harder every month :shock:

but for me it has to be Karavatis for his striking paint work and seriously cool chieftain conversion

captainquark · **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 8:46 pm

Very tough to choose just one, excellent painting all around :yay:

In the end I went with John Wayne, the colours are great, adding that bit of brightness while still staying nice and muted, and overall very clean painting

I think they are dwellers in the dark. I re-call reading it somewhere, probably in the Feb challenge thread.

I voted Valpas. Some great painting there. Pity only the one photo as I felt it didn't quite do them justice.

John Wayne made it for me. Nice and clear painting!

It was very hard for me to select my favorite, but although I don't quite like green base rims, I went for Coenus, just because...well...his models are awesome. I'd have screwed up at least 5 out of 7 hobbit faces

JamesR · **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2014 12:06 am

Had to go with Valpas, I really like the faces and having attempted to paint from a white base-coat myself I'm highly impressed

The hobbits are good but the dwarves are just on another level - wow, got my vote.

pokyha · **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:46 am

My pics are too big you can see all the mistakes if my captain pics was the same size as the warriors it would look better. Good work to the rest of the entries.

Voted for John Wayne, excelent dwarves.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Mon Mar 03, 2014 12:21 pm

Another tough one but I went with John Wayne in the end, the paint job just leapt of the screen - really striking. It wasn't a tough one for no reason though and they were all strong entries with Karavatis, Dr Grant and John nearly getting my vote.

Those are Khorn Blood-letters from Warhammer. I much prefer the Dweller model to them
