Really tough call this time around.

(Storm)Vermintide has done the best job emphasizing that the banner is something special.

Skaven Elite is white, and well done, and doing white well is no easy task.

Stormvermin with Razor Standard looks so cohesive and imposing, if I had to pick one of the three to field on my table, this would be the one I'd want.

Anyone else have thoughts on which way I should jump?

The polls are now closed. Although it would have been good to have more entries, summer is a sleepy time (as is winter, for our friends in the antipodes), and the entries that we had were all good, making this contest a close call. The winner, in a one-vote squeeker, was Rageaholic for his Stormvermin with Razor Standard. The standings are:

Woooo!

I rule you drool suckers!

Erm, I mean thanks for your votes :) very pleased to have won the 1st painting competition I've entered.

I'm usually too eager to manage an entry because something comes up that I have a nicely painted example of and I've already posted the pictures so I can't enter unless I paint another one just for the competition. I was baffled that I hadn't already put the stormvermin in my army diary. (And I wasn't painting another 49 of them just for the comp).
Sometimes being forgetful pays off.
I do think DanBob's models are nicer though, I reckon he would have beaten me easily if there were just a few more of them. Great looking command group there.

Now I just need to go paint up a unit that will actually perform in the game :p Since my SV tend to be the worst performing unit in my army.

I'm late in replying I know but congrats Rageaholic, a well deserved win and thanks for your kind words, also I agree with bounty, props on the job on the white for the Baron. The fact that I only finished one tac squad of white panthers tells a tale of how much I admire the job on that.
