Dougie, those are AMAZING! :o 8)
That's another army choice I won't be entering then... :'(
Well Dougie, that is amazing. Bit daunting for the opposition though! :o

I've given up already >:(.
Fantastic work Dougie, i,m also pleased that i didn,t pick that era, bases are superb.

Very nice indeed, but remember it's early days yet! I reckon there'll be a lot of impressive work in this category.
:-bd
Don't give up chaps!
You can beat the tat already posted up!! ;D
Oh wow, will be very hard to beat that one. Will contribute anyways, finally a good day for making pictures.

Great work TT. Didn't believe anyone would give Dougie a run for his money, but your warband really looks the bizz. Like the ingenuity of the setting, the trees, the cross, the whole nine yards. But of course none of it would matter if you couldn't paint, and you can! :-bd :-bd :-bd
Mollinary
Thanks for the kind words Mollinary. Unfortunately my photographby skills really arent up to scratch, they "pop" more in real life than the pics capture.
Best regards,
Craig
Excellent work so far, and a nice entry from Vulpine there as well.

The Lizards are very nice - which figures are the red lizards on all fours on the right side?

FL7 Pet Dinosaurs. They're nice little sculpts, although could do with remoulding soon.

Well our understanding of dinosaur physiology has moved on a bit in recent years eh? ;)
Feathers ?
Hip bones are the same. T Rex & Chickens, share the same shaped brain! Be afraid...

Before I started keeping chickens I was quite unaware of just how vicious and predatory they behave, they go absolutely crazy when they draw blood and used to kill wood pigeons that were unfortunate enough to get caught trying to nick their feed! If chucks were bigger they would give anyone reason to be afraid...!
I agree Win ! :)
They're not particularly nice creatures at all. :o
You're not wrong about spilled blood. Never had any of ours actually injure a flying rat....But if one the 'brood' gets some sort of cut....It gets 'hen-pecked' to the point it has to be isolated before it gets killed by the others.
Vicious, messy, wasteful, rat encouraging peasants ! ;) ;D
And they'll eat just about anything.......Put me off eating eggs sometimes, when I see what's gone down their necks.....(Shudder !!) ;)
Cheers - Phil.
Thanks :)
@Vulpine : No ! i like your contribution :P ! It's something different ! When i just glued some minis on bases and painted it, you worked on a real composition which tell a story. I think judges will also take this in count when they will determine a winner.
For those who are interested by
Tribal lizardmen, this is the list of minis i bought (but i didn't use everything) :
- Lizardmen Army Pack
- FTL2
- FTL6
- FTL7
- FTL10
- FTL12
- FTL15
- FTL16
- AC11
@Win : i always said that chicken is the most dangerous creatures after the alien X_X

Thanks man!
Every time I think I've seen the winner someone comes up with something even better. Good luck, judges! :)
Hold the presses! A whole 1866 Austrian army just appeared, fantastic! wow! :o 8)
I almost feel honour bound to either enter French or Prussians to oppose them! :P
mad lemmey
Well it is an Army contest so why not put the whole army up!
My goal was to have the Austrians and Prussians done by this coming weekend, but I really hate paint cavalry and it took me about 10 days to slog throught he Prussians. Working on the infantry command now and will start digging thoruh about 460 infantry shortly. Then its on to 230 or so Saxons.
Tom
Tempting! ;D I can do French II Corps, VI Corps and nearly finished the Guard, just missing the guards horse artillery, they need their limbers (hint hint Leon)!
However, I did say I would only enter figures from this year, and secretly I'm planning to only enter figures painted this month! :P
At some point I will do the full collection. :D
Tom,
Look forward to seeing those! I am just coming to the end of a project to produce the armies for the early battles in Bohemia at a scale of 1:20 for a forthcoming (touch wood)book. Including a what if of Skalitz involving both Austrian IV and VIII corps, this means about 2000 Austrian infantry and 1500 Prussians, plus cavalry and guns. Largely painted by Fernando, but based by me, so not a candidate for the competition. Overall these figures look great , as Andreas Hofer has demonstrated. Hope you get yours up in the competition in the next ten days!
Mollinary
PRESSURE!!!! AHHHHHH!
:-SS
I have the Cavalry, Artillery, and Jagers done, so if I don't get the infantry done, I can at the very least post those.
Loving the Gauls! 8)
Well the Prussians are up...sorry only got 4 regiments done...life was cruel this past weekend :( Still have 9 regimetns worth to paint.
Don't worry, they're really impressive tschuma! 8)
My Guards would have 'em though!
Excellent entry from O Dinas Powys there, I like it! :D
I think he has been eating some dodgy mushrooms ;D ;D
Your entry made me smile Meirion after a long and hard day at work :). I think you deserve a prize for sheer inventiveness!
Finally sorted through the photos of my army, and got them posted.
I've then looked through all the entries and the breadth, variety and quality of the entries is amazing. You look at one entry and think wow that's great, then scroll down and there is another great one, and then another. Glad I don't have to choose my favourite!!
Good luck to everyone who has entered - especially those who have entered for the first time.
Good luck to all!
And if you are like me, doesn't matter if you win anything, at least it got you painting! ;D
