Me likey. Once agin I am impressed with others' ability to paint these little toy soldiers. I usually glance over marines but something about the paint scheme/execution catches my eye. Wunderbar!

PS if bored I have about 100 demons you can paint the eyes for

-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

Lovely work


The eyes are a bit 'starey', have you thought about making the pupils slightly larger so there is less white showing?

I agree especially on the last one of my command squad. In the "flesh" they look better, but im not good enough to do better - i hate the eyes

Love the paint job on the Sallies - you do the chapter justice!

All of those look great! The detailing of the marines is awesome and that Ogre looks great as well.

As a bit of a side note I don't think I have ever seen the skin color of a space marine be anything other than white. GW is racist.

Once upon a time, I told myself it's better to be smart than lucky. Every day, the world proves me wrong a little more.

Salamanders have a few black fellas in there if you look in Codex Armageddon. I won't go into the whole 'super-human race of genetically pure warriors with near identical characteristics crushing those different to them whilst sporting a two-headed eagle insignia' thing, it's far too tedious to bother with...

On topic, really top work, especially the flames, really crisp. Super!

I suppose that, in real life, the flames look better than in these pics but there's two things about them that put me off;
1) They could use a tad more blending so the different colors aren't SO blatant.

2) You made a very common mistake with the flame colors. Fire is hottest at it's base, ergo, lighter colors at the bottom, darker as it rises and cools.

Great work on the green and that gold looks very rich. Kudos on these minis!

Thanks for the comments,

1) yep thats the problem with using digital backs on Hasselblad cameras

2) They are space flames that go the opposite way to human flames I know its backwards but for some reason on minis i always feel it looks better this way round, maybe its a human thing that heaver ie darker things always look better on the bottom???

All those models look great, I particularly love the nice clean paint job on the sallies. I also think the Troll looks great, I'm not really a fan of LotR but these have inspired me, might have to go pick up the new Troll kit myself
