You did indeed add some spice, yes

Looks really good, I love the use of the viking torsos, and the shield of ages (is it called that?) looks really good actually.

And I love the monsterthingy. Probably my favourite battlescene so far!

A very cool beast you have there

Great landscaping too. I really like the way you have done the green coloured faction. Nice job

Yes, that grey and green soldiers are very clever. And the beast is also good.
But there is only 2 dead men (or I can't see more). For me it should be more of them or it is just beginning of the fight?
Good luck in CCC4

Holy cow, that's just too cool for words!

First off, I love that green faction. A great job of color coordinating and using elements.

The red and black faction is pretty good too, a great show of force. Best of all is that beastie eating the armsman. That's an awesome creature, with good looking articulation on the hands.

The wall has a great "ruins" feel to it and I think you did a good job of using the burps since it doesn't really look like burps. The columns with viking tiles are a nice touch.

I like how you have meshed the Viking bodies and the KK1 helmets. It creates a very good faction. I am confusd which faction is the Twilight Knights, though.

I echo the words of everyone else, and express my admiration of the green faction. The rocky landscape is excellent, as is the beast. Good luck in the contest!

Wow, that is splendid!
I love the big red beast, its very fierce looking.
I'd like to ride into battle on top of it!
The green faction looks great, I like their shields.
Its a shame that they're going to get mauled to death.
Great work, good luck in the contest.

Green faction would be the twilight knights. Not sure where the name came from, I just found myself using it as I was putting them together. I think it must be because of the star on the shields.

And yes, it's meant to be more at an early stage of the battle.

Wow, I love that beast. It's got me thinking... hmm...
All hail the Twilight Knights!

I would have to agree. Very awesome faction indeed. I do like the whole scene, it definitely looks like these guys are having a battle. A very good entry for a last-minute rush.

Job well done – and good luck in the contest (if you enter it)!

Nice battle scene! So much "movement" going on.

I like it very much. The pictures are clear, the background is only background and with the colors it is inconspicuously, so you can watch at the action.

In my opinion it is very clever to make a scene like you have done:
- only a few people death or wounded
- less backgroundcolors and two factions you can differentiate very easy
- the scene shows the beginn of the fight so you can imagine the future

And again, I'm enviously for the clearness/sharpness of your pictures. I think I have to buy a new camera...
