Phoenix from the Flames - your model should represent rebirth, renewal or fire. Coming back from death, defeat, or setbacks. A fresh start with new vigor. Rising once more to fight. Or more generally birds or flame themes. Returning to the hobby with a new project? Crawling out of the dumpster fire to a better year?

Shiny New Toy - something fresh from under the Christmas tree? Ork bass with a swanky new boomdakka? Tanks rolling fresh off the assembly line? New captives for the dark gods or archon? Parade ready fresh recruits? Your entry should be something new.

Hunter and the Hunted: Rangers, inquisitors, assassins, snipers, and other combatants who search for the enemy and destroy them. Also woodland creatures, grots or othering things targeted for the hunt. Or cross the streams and paint up a fox assassin. Lots of woodland adventure minis out there.

Big Brains - who’s the mastermind? The guy pouring over maps making the plans? Boffin in the labcoat, finger-wiggler in the robes? Psycher unleashing the power of the mind? Your entry should be brains over brawn, using their mind to overcome obstacles. Or literally brains, in jars, floating, or shooting martian death rays.

Poll will run for 2 days

Well, I suggested it, so shiny new toy gets my vote!

I should have added a bit for zombies in the description. All those big brains lined up like a buffet will draw in the walking dead…

My local group's doing their summer painting challenge again, so there're lots of things on the table and something suitable no matter what wins. I voted Phoenix just to keep the race close.

If my math is right, that’s 2 days, so “Shiny New Toy” wins and we have a 3 way tie for second. They will all get another shot, but probably not all in the next poll.

Shiny New Toy it is, then. Now to bounce back and forth between my various options for all of next week. There's nothing more exciting than decisive indecision and all the wonderful possibilities that come with it.
