No offense but imo TheGreyJedi’s Witch Elf looks bad the sword is a bit patchy and the purple is all over the place too looks like it could benefit from a wash and highlight

Unfortunately, the photo is one of the ones I took with the flash. I have a less than awesome camera. But critique always leads to improved technique.

I would like to make a public apology, as I have made a rather large blunder this month. Due to the late entry, I forgot to include theQuanz's entry.
I am deeply sorry theQuanz, I have been a complete boob. Your entry will get a special "honourable mention" thread, seperate from the winner's thread, because it is a nice miniature.

My favourite was the Wraithguard, it didn't stand out on first viewing but the work on the gemstones is good and while simple looking it's actually got lots of nice work and a good base.

The battlewagon is a transport for an ork elite choice, making it viable for entry.

agreed, the Wraithguard was something that i sat and looked at for a while, and kept hemming and hawing between it and the fire dragon. if SaintSpirits Dragon hadn't been in the picture the Wraithguard would've got my vote.

Way to go Saintspirit, his painting is outstanding!

Fourth place! If i want to be churlish i think the best mini did not win, a couple of the others blew mine out the water and didnt get the votes they deserved. Not to say saintspirits' fire dragon isn't nice enough. I voted for the Squig herder, a charming little mini. @Aerethan and Pennywise, base your models next time! I didnt vote on that exquisite swordmaster for that exact reason.... EDIT: Thanks Brother Zach!
