Artemis:  It was ‘close’ at the top but for me the single defining quality of this miniature is that the face was so stunning you just couldn’t take your eyes off it, a supermodel in miniature form. (It also reminded me a bit of Jolene Blalock which is never bad)

Inge:  Overall a very clean and soft looking paintjob. The colours work well together and they don't overpower the sculpt. The face draws attention immediately. It is full of character. The base is simple but well done and fits the paintjob.

Steve:  Just a great paintjob, top to bottom. If it doesn't sound negative, the figure isn't really a massive standout in any area. What's the phrase? No gimmick required! Basically, there are no weak areas with this figure. Colour scheme, choice of tones, facial expression, basing... everything is just so carefully worked out. The upshot is a figure that just...works, through and through.
 

Artemis: A superb effort that fell at the last hurdle for me because it lacked some of the smoothness that Tammy would normally get if she didn’t paint this literally overnight. The shield and tattoo are superb and considering the time taken an amazing display.

Inge: A very characterful paintjob While not as smooth as the two other winners there are some extremely nice details here. The addition of a (well painted) shield works well and the tattoos and warpaint are also very well done.

Steve: I love this. The figure is just a perfect example of what I wanted to see on my figures. Kage is a simple figure but Tammy has used my 'blank canvas sculpting' approach to such great affect. The tartan, tattoos and warpaint, it just all comes together to make a great figure.

Artemis: Simple and smooth. The skin tone in particular is very nice and the limited palette just enhances the inhuman nature of the miniature. An excellent choice of colours.

Inge: This paintjob has a very nice depth to it. The blending is smooth and there is good contrast between shade and highlight. The colours fit together perfectly. As with Shae, the base is simple but complements the miniature well. The red colour in the hair, which has been repeated on the base, is also a nice touch.

Steve: A really interesting paintjob to me. Nothing special in the colour scheme as such, but look at the tones chosen. The pinkish flesh, the earthy wings, the red hair like blood. Strangely I have to consider the figure to have an unoriginal colour scheme applied in an original way. Sounds ridiculous when I say it, but a picture is worth a thousand words. The face is great too. Great expression on there. And let's face it, the hot coals are just cool (in a not cold kind of way).
