Argh.
Should i vote for the one that i like more, or the one with (IMO) the best paint job...?
Yeah, given the nature of the contest it should be the second one, but it's hard to cast aside personal preferences

Sorry I've been absent lately. Baldur's Gate 3 is very distracting. A couple of very nice dragons, though! Great job to both entrants!

 

[Oppenheimer]

Oh! I'm first in your tag list, I'm honoured!
Voted! Both are really good! A hard choice for sure.

Sorry, have been very busy lately. My Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon is still waiting for me to finish him up, already :)

The Sun King, thank you for pinging me, this reminded me, I have been waiting for sooooooo long now, when will I see the finished/updated SBGL Handbook?! :P

I appreciate your excitement about the Handbook. However, I have put it on the shelf for now because my life has been very intense lately, and will continue to be so for a couple of months. Another reason why I have not finished it is because the army has gotten so many changes in a very short time, so I have already rewritten some entries twice, and I foresee more nerfs for the army, and it doesn’t make much sense to try to write a handbook when the army is in such a state of flux. I am sorry to disappoint, I truly appreciate your enthusiasm MTD.

Sad to hear it, but I can understand. Im kinda attached to it, since it was the first comprehensive guide I found online, and it helped me to deeply understand the army, and start enjoying it even more.
I will be patient, I will wait and nuge you again in a couple of months :P

 

[Oppenheimer]

Yes, I expect more nerfs too based on the fact that the army is top of the meta right now.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I must admit that your enthusiasm has planted a seed... lets see.

 

[Gederas]

Oh jeez, didn't even need my vote on The Sun King's model for there to be a clear winner

 

[The Sun King]

One vote apart Gederas I would say that that is as close as it gets, congratulations to us and our awesome dragons!

 

[Raven Torrid]

Had to postpone the announcement a bit, was in between trips.

Congratulations The Sun King! Your winning entry is now featured in the Hall of Fame thread!

Great entries from both of you, it was a really hard choice, just a few nuances helped with the decision for me!

Congrats for your win!

Technically two

I forgot to vote by the 20th, but my vote for yours wasn't needed for you to have a deserved win

 

[The Sun King]

You are all too kind Gederas. I think a win to either of us would have been very well deserved tbh.

 

[MedMos]

It was definitely one of the tougher ones to vote on. Only two entries, but of this quality, made it all the harder. Honestly, I could've voted for either one on any given day.
