After three ruthless pool round robins we are now left with those who proved superior either through hard work or desperate cheating the likes of which we haven't seen since Maradona managed to win an entire tournament while having no legs.

Our contestants
lijah_cuu A strong player who managed an excellent result in his last game which ended with a penalty shoot out. Somewhat unbalanced considering his opponent was a sentinel which at that point only had one working leg. A fine result if a little heavy on the collateral damage for the fans watching behind the goal.

Col.Gravis A surprise entry to the competition consider the difficulties Team Gravis have previously had trying to stay under the tournaments barrel cap. A strong contender who appears to still like the tactic of firing so many weapons at once that the vehicle continually produces its own smoke screen.

Wuxiong Cleverly attempting to blend into the pitch has obviously been a success story for this team. So successful were they in their camouflage attempts this vehicle was actually used as a goal post for three of the pool matches before anyone noticed.

You know? It is a quite tough choice to choose between those 3 now, because they are all equally good... $:-\$

I think I will just go away for 3 days to decide before voting.

Very close call on this one. All three had great themes, great paint jobs, and some home-made modifications that complimented the themes/painting. Anyway, it's going to come down to my personal preference, because the skillz are about even. I personally fancy the booger and rust theme of lijah_cuu. I'd compliment the unique "weathering" (something in-between dents and flesh wounds on the thing) and icons, but the other finalists had just as much effort put into the details.

My vote goes for Wuxiong. I love the double tread and its a nice clean and crisp paintjob!

I've got to go with the Colonel again, I really love the look of his gatling guns on that Russ, but these are some very tough choices here.

I actually found the first round of voting a lot tougher, as I found the hardest choices within seeds.

That said, pretty much every entry was excellent.

My vote goes to goes Col. Gravis but only because Praetorian minis are somehow releated to Mordians.

Absolutely irrational, I know.

Other than that, it's a clean draw.

All three tanks a very well painted.

Nicely done fellas, you all deserve a mention on the showcase post.

Great entries from all three of you!

Wuxiong · « **Reply #9 on:** July 5, 2010, 11:02:22 PM »

I think everyone is evenly matched by skill, so I will have to go with personal taste while not voting for my own (in which I will incriminate myself of being a total a***). So the good Colonel gets my vote... But well done everyone.

I voted for the plasma-love, I like 'em dirty!

My vote will be going to Col. Gravis. That Russ is very nicely converted, with subtle attention to detail. It is of course, also painted incredibly. Fine lines and details with crisp colours and not and mould line or join in sight! There's a fine job done on the crewman too!

Rummy · « **Reply #12 on:** July 10, 2010, 01:32:27 AM »

Last chance for voting. Vote soon and vote well.

I thought it was vote early and vote often.

A clear win to the colonel! Well done to all.

You have to get the green or blue stars to vote often.

Congrats to Gravis...he has dodged a date with the firing squad once again...Crafty Praetorians......An yways....Good Going!

Put a pith helmet on your titans and they'd win as well.

Congratulations to the Colonel!

tryanotherone · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:55:51 AM »

Congratulation, Col. Gravis.

That was a distinct victory.

Col.Gravis · « **Reply #19 on:** July 11, 2010, 04:09:11 PM »

Thanks guys

I must admit my money was on lijah_cuu for this one with that lovely grimey Executioner for this one as much as I love Wuxiong's conversion (the use of demolisher as a base for the battlecannon turret especially which is ingenious).

Do you really think it's a good idea to give me idea's like that?
