So hard to decide which is the coolest site I found this month... And the month's not even half over!

They're both pretty cool, but I do love the 'Tea Room, if only because it's a bit more attainable (modelling wise, anyway).

well let's try another comparison: Matashiki's project of diaramas based on each tarot card: http://www.displacedminiatures.com/Matakishi/image.aspx?image_id=2200&from=Tarot Greydeath's Moray Eel: http://s15.invisionfree.com/Greydeath/index.php?showtopic=39 Front
Both are disgustingly brilliant for quite different reasons.

I can't decide....I can't decide BRAIN ANURYSM!
Seriously, Matashiki's work is more 'painterly', while Greydeath's is more 'engineer-y'. Both are excellent at what they do, but as you put it, very different.

Greydeath's site is better, for 2 reasons.
1) I love the insane (and well excecuted) sci-fi stuff (and I'm a sci-fi junkie) 2) He chose the name of one of the greatest units in the classic Battletech mythos (the Greydeath Legion, founded by Greyson Death [prounounced Deeth, ryhmes with teeth] Carlyle)

tarot for the win. The fool is a stroke of genius.
I dont think either of them are cooler, but as a matter of taste, just what you prefer. i love grey deaths tau. (too bad he doenst post here anylonger...but he still posts on the B&C) and Matashiki has a sense of very creative innovation.
I think they are both on the same level in different ways.

Like Hellfury said,they're both equal in different fields,although i have a prefference for 'Death... Although (like i said on another topic) its pointless,its so much fun to do.I would know cause i have that urge to convert also,only that i dont have to money to afford to do it large scale. Matakashi has some very 'cute' works if i can put it like that.It be very simple and home-like making it so close to what we are used to instead of the techno stuff.

Well obviously this was meant to call attention to them and not as a serious competition. When you have two talented artists like this everyone wins! I also just rediscovered this site: http://www.ironhands.com/necro.htm Home of some of the nicest industrial terrain and conversions I've seen. INCINERATOR
