I have here my Ork warboss Stryke and some more of my space wolves. I only have these couple fully finished so far.

Please rate them in my gallery and Comment.
All feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

Good looking stuff. I like the overall concepts and color contrast. Maybe thin out your paints more. Some of the models look a little goopy or just to much paint in one coat. Thinning your paint takes more coats and time but ends up with a smoother finish.

I'm a fan of your warboss, I might recommend painting the teeth on his bosspole a different colour to the rest of the metal to make him stand out a little more though. Also the subdued flesh looks great.

Ah, good ol' AoBR models!

Ork Warboss: I like that a lot. the colours blend very nicely, including the blue and greens, which would usually clash horridly.
"Blue and green should never be seen" or something like that. *shrug*
In any case, it looks very smart and cleanly painted.

Dread: Hrm, not a big fan of this one, mate. Firstly, the barrels need drilling. The black spots just look like... black spots. Huh.
The shield on the front looks... Odd. It doesn't look as if it's PART of the model, if that makes sense.
It looks just how it is, which is a SW SS glued to the front of an AoBR Dread.
That said, it's another nice clean paint job and that swings in its favor.
People underestimate the AoBR Dread. It has so much potential.

SQ Termy: Again, clean, but not as clean. Looks like it could use a bit of touching up and the yellow on the shoulder pad looks a little thick.
It just looks washed out somehow and again, the barrels aren't drilled. The conversion work looks nicely done, although the top-knot looks a bit far-forward on the head, which I know is because that head cannot be removed... Not easily, anyway.
If you're handy enough with a blade, you can actually remove that head and replace it.
Doing this gives that model a hell of a lot of extra character. Something to consider.

Overall, I'd say this is good work!

Thanks for the feedback, I did take more time with the ork and he was the last thing I've painted. So my skill is definitely improving. But I will take on board all critique as i can only get better.
I do have a drill on its way, so there will be no more black spots and there will be thinner layers of paint, especially now GW have all those new paints.
Again thanks for taking the time to have a look at them. My painting has come along way since the first minis i painted (see my gallery, black SM on bike)
