Only one choice here, the Dire Avenger Exarch. Beautiful model, great posing and basing and a great paint job as well. Also it's Eldar.
Who me bias? Never! It's not like I play every single Eldar splinter group or anything

If the Chapter Master was painted, he'd probably have gotten my vote - love the pose. As it is, I was torn between the Mek and the Mantis. The Mantis Warrior just edged it.

Well I can't decided between the Krieg heavy weapons team or the Dire Avenger.

The Dire Avenger looks better and has a great base but I don't like the free hand on the banner, I feel it drags the model down to be honest. The Krieg looks consistently great and the snow is excellent but it doesn't quiet have that wow factor.

Going to have to D6 it.

Oh and why can't we click on the images to have a closer look in the gallery?

The Dire Avenger and the Mantis Warrior are evenly tied in my view, but this quarter in my pocket came up heads 2 out of 3 times in favor of the Dire Avenger.

Kreigers are far and away the best looking and most realistic paint/modeling job. It almost tells a story and definitely evokes an emotional response. One of them is half buried in snow! It looks cold. Really, it's the only model here that is at a level that I would pay someone to achieve.

I am The Fury. The flames of my rage will incinerate you. I came back from space. As I returned, I had one vision. The world set ablaze. And do you know what I saw there? (he aims his flamethrower upwards and incinerates a group of bats) Fury! A great and terrible Fury at being alive. Now you're going to feel the scorching heat of that horrible blackness.

Nah I wouldn't worry about it either no insult was intended. Just commenting that it wasn't as good as the model and the base, but excellent for a first attempt and a million times better then I could do. You got my vote anyway because the rest of the model was outstanding (and you won the dice roll).

Congrats on the win.
