They look great dude. The only thing I can find at fault with this batch of minis is the first guy, Wrongeye. I find his underbelly near to his face too dark. It blends into the scales a bit too much for my liking, that also applies with the brown coat. It's quite dark overall. However, I love the bottle. I really like the look of the liquid in it, it is hard to do that stuff well and you seem to have pulled it off. Good work.

Really loving the gators - they both look pretty epic!

Dahlia and whatever that snake guy is (Skarath, sorry) look pretty top notch as well, but the gators just seem more striking. Superb work with all of those minis, though, and a bit of a shame to hear about the tournament results but I suppose it can't be helped. As long as you had a good time, though!

I did pretty badly... It was a team event, and we ended up in the top half, but my rustyness (I haven't played a real, actual, non-vassal game in almost 4 months...) and bad dice (like, really bad dice...) mean I only won one game out of five... I felt like I should have won four, but whatever, I had a generally good time, and it's gotten me fired up to do better in future!

Having seen the minion Hogs, I'm getting pretty excited about more Gators, too...
Plus I have a full unit as a leaving gift from my buddies in London that I need to get painted some time... And all that Cygnar... Oh, and new Circle minis... Argh!

Oh, Skarath is a little over-exposed (stupid white), he's got a bit more detail on the carapace IRL... But you'll have to take my word for it, I guess.

-t.

My Khador got hammered in the Team Tournament I went to, although I'd blame poor decision making on my part than anything else.

Glad to see you're back in the painting groove.

So I suppose it is gatorade! Wroneye is drinking?

Not really sure what I am looking at to be honest, but whatever it is I really rather like it a lot. Nice work T

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Mr. Dee, they're minis from Privateer Press, for their game Hordes... It's a skirmish system based around big monsters and warlocks who magically (just about) control them...

Finished this fella on friday, he was a commission for a friend of mine, thus the green glow as opposed to my traditional blue...
I did really enjoy it though, and it is pretty seriously making me want to start a green glowy army, maybe Cryx, or a Baldur themed list (once I find out what that is...!)

He looks great dude. I really like the green, though I do prefer the blue you usually use. I'm sure your friend will be very happy.

Another commission, this one took a fair while longer than I was expecting... I just couldn't get into the groove with him...








...and here we go with some Cygnar stuff I've been converting and planning:
Kara, reposed quite considerably:



...and a hybrid Stormclad (plastic new jack kit, plus second-hand sword, shield and head):





What do you guys think...?

-t.

PS. Re: Nids, I will try and take some pics next week, but I'm not promising anything!

[xbanditsx]

The wolf is painted quite nice but the model still bugs me.

I don't know why that isn't the standard pose for Kara, the gun in the air thing looks silly. The conversion looks seamless too, so nice work there. I'm really liking the plastic Stormclad too.

[And Justice For All]

Really nice wolf thing. Some great earthy tones and yet nice contrast between armour, fur and base.
