1 point - Matt of Munslow, entry #22 - SYW Highlanders

Comments:
- Andreas Hofer's Austrians - superbly executed, great basing.
- whitejamest's Late Roman's - Another entry that just shouted out to me, a good use of colours, black lining and detail where needed.  Shield and banners hand painted although a basic design executed well.
- Strong category.
- Matt of Munslow's Highlanders - superbly executed ... the detail that you can see there is spot-on.



Foot - 20th C.

9 points - BH62, entry #4 - WWII Canadians
8 points - Dougie, entry #3 - FFL Para's
1 points - marshall1945, entry #9 - WWII Command

Comments:
- whitejamest's WW2 Germans - really nicely done, crisp painting of an understated [correctly] camo scheme.
- Dougie's Legion Paras - very nicely done indeed, great detailing.
- whitejamest's Late 2nd World War Germans - I loved these as soon as I saw them.
- BH62's WWII Canadian Infantry - Considering the plainness of the colours of the uniform and equipment on these figures a lovely use of shading to make them stand out.

1 points - WeeWars, entry #16 - French Chasseur a Cheval
1 point - Matt of Munslow, entry #10 - French Hussars

Comments:
- Hetairoi's Selucid Elephant conversions - An entry that just shouted out as a clear winner.
- ...superbly done - an example of 'clean' painting style.
- J.S.'s Austrian Hussars - I liked these and the idea of including the image that inspired them, they may have scored higher had the image been clearer and brighter.
- ...great layering.



Vehicle

9 points - BH62, entry #6 - Flakpanzer
8 points - marshall1945, entry #11 - M12 155mm

3 points - Matt of Munslow, entry #5 - M48 Patton
3 points - jdeleonardis, entry #9 - T34/85
2 point - chrishanley, entry #24 - WWI MkIV

Comments:
- Strong field, quite hard to judge. A number of these just missed out on points. My top three could be jumbled up and still be justifiable. Very close competition.
- chrishanley's MkIV - simple, understated, but this just looks like it's a WW1 tank, great weathering on the frontal markings...
- BH62's Flakpanzer - nice little entry this one, the track detail and camo make it stand out
- whitejamest's German Hetzer - a really nice simple but effective paint job

10 points - Hetairoi, entry #19 - Ethereal Host
5 points - Enbaji, entry #11 - Anubis troops
2 points - Hetairoi, entry #3 - Zombies
1 points - Annatar, entry #6 - Gandalf and Bilbo

Comments:
- Annatar's Manticore - It may be a single figure but the face on this figure just cried out to me.
- Hetairoi's Ethereal Host - I loved the dry brushing technique used here to give this figures the spectral look.
- Hetairoi's undead - lovely looking unit - coherent use of limited palette to tie them in, great basing.
- Enbaji's Anubis troops - nicely clean execution.

Comments:
- BH62's Fallschirmjäger 8.8cm FLAK 36 - A really well thought out entry with a real attention to detail, loved the shells and empty cases.
- Hetairoi's Seleucid scythed chariot conversion - A great use of bold colours on this entry but with an attention to shading and detail where needed.
