Now that was a great contest, this is only my second but I'm hooked. I might not get alot of votes but it sure is fun
FR1DAY - Nicely done, the pose is very dynamic (though the first pic in the other thread really brings it out). The greenstuff sash around the middle was a nice touch. And great painting. The castle on the banner is very good.
Wyzer1 - As I posted before: You - Absolute - Legend!! Great work on the 'imperial' banner, and great work adapting archaon for the Empire. I thought the model would be too big to match to Empire parts but you managed it. Nice posing too
Lederhosen - Nice kitbash, final look is very good. The 40K banner works really well, and gives it more of a BSB feel rather than using a normal unit standard. And you've only just started WFB!!
wpman - Very cool. Great greenstuff work on the barding and banner, and very nicely posed (I'm saying nice posing alot - all entries really excelled at this). Where did the lion on the banner top come from? Overall very good (in my top 3)
Marcus_Octavius - the whole model just works. Great looking and very dynamic. Great idea basing up all the models this way, it really stands and is going to look great backed up by a unit of your nice new pikemen.
CaptScott - wow, absolutely friggin sweet... oops, thats me!
Shadoweyed - Nice, a Morr conversion. Having the banner attached to the back was a nice touch, I was going to do something similar but changed it at the last moment. The 'eagle' sections on the barding and banner go really well together. I think rear barding on the other side could have had more detail, perhaps more skulls. Overall good job!
Suicidal-Rabbit - alright! the BSB on foot model converted to be mounted, well done! Nice work with the green stuff sash, it not only covered the join but looks really good! The sword arm looks good, especially seeing as you had to cut through it to get him on the horse. Well done, and a great paint job to top it off.
Soju - Great as usual!. Very cool idea for the banner(s) - how many has he captured!! Nice choice of head to go with the helmet being carried. Great choice of parts, the whole model goes together really well and looks great. Very unique (in my top 3 as well)
Brian Lee - what can I say, superb greenstuff work combined with great posing and unique ideas equals a fantastic model (we might have to start a master class category one day- your that good!). Great idea posing the horse head that way, never even occurred to me that you could do that. Same goes for the priest head - excellent idea! Obviously in my top 3.
That about sums it up, well done everyone!!!!!!!!!
On a separate note I am curious as to what people thought of my barding and shield (I put alot of work into them and they are my first major green-stuff conversion). A better pic is below: (is it OK to post it here?)

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s65/aussct/wip1b.jpgWith the barding I tried to give it a segmented look (ie one plate across the front, and two down either side). I think it looks a little better than the standard barding, though I'm not sure if the effort was worth it (that and my green stuff skills are pretty rough). I like how the shield turned out, but it lost alot of its detail in the painting, and got 'lost' in the photo with the rest of the silver and gold. Oh, and that big round thing in the middle is supposed to be a gem. I also recommend if anyone has any chaos marauder torsos lying around use them for your knights, it really bulks them up alot.
