I like 'em. Nice and dark. Natural colors too, kind of nice to see those every now and again as opposed to bright red/blue/green/pink. The skulls on the capes look a little flat, maybe a wash of sepia of some kind? Or maybe its just the picture.
Keep it up, will be a nice looking army.

Looks good, but i do agree with GrimDork about the wash. They could us a little more shading on the metals, especially on one of the last two guys you posted. Very clean paintjob though.

You could try adding some nulin oil to the backside of your swords and brushing to the tip, it would add a simple dark Vs light side effect to the swords giving them some more dimension. You could then use a brighter silver colour and highlight the tip and the center edge down a little ways and add a dark blue wash to adjacent parts of the sword, its pretty simple and you may like the effect.

For a good worn iron look i base the armour in leadbelcher, then do 2 to 3 washes of nulin oil and final shade a bit with iron breaker. But i like your figs. My first whfb army is woc and my paint scheme is almost the exact same.

I really dig it. Very crisp. Not sloppy. Nice even coats. But i'll reiterate that you could really use some washes to add depth. The skill could use a fleshshade wash and the armor could use a rust wash. I really love making my own washes for rust out of one two parts brown, one part orange, 30 parts water, 1 part alcohol, and 1 part flow-aid mix (diluted). It dulls the mettle to makes it look that that armor has seen a few battles.

Those look great, the colors fit together nearly perfectly, and really say, "I'm Chaos!"

Thanks all for the comments.
I think i will go back and give the armour a wash. To paint it, i drybrushed tin, followed by bronze, then silver. I guess a wash on top of that would make the shadows more defined.
Same with the skull. I spent a fair amount of time layering up to a solid bone color, it didn't occur to me to do a wash.
Thanks again guys, be sure to keep an eye out for more. I'm currently working on the lord and some marauder horsemen
