It's been a while since I checked in on this thread. Great stuff as always Reece!

This was an interesting commission. The client asked us to paint up 3 separate Tyranid Warriors, each to level 3 with level 3 basing, each in a different scheme so that he could see what each scheme would look like. He would then choose from among them for his army. Here is the result, each a level 3 paint job with level 3 basing. Note the very cool effect on the brown Warrior’s carapace! - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/tyranid-warriors/#sthash.R9AXHVjf.dpuf
I really like how the Inquisitorial units came out. Though that last shot of all the doppelgangers is somehow off-putting.

It is probably due to my photography/editing skills (or lack thereof). I am still essentially a novice in both categories. The models look fantastic in real life.
I meant it in more of an unsettling bunch of clones aspect. I think your photos are doing a good job of displaying the work

No worries. I was pretty vague. On the bright side it's kept your thread near the top
Has there been an increase in Fantasy commissions since the Dark Elves release? Seems a lot of people are coming back to the game around here on the strength of the new line.

Thanks, Moltar! Haha, and yeah, the boots are there to tie him into the Biel Tan theme, but I thought they looked like GoGo boots! The model rocks though, the blending is fantastic but the white boots jump out a lot. The thing is, the other option was green which looked awful when we tried it out.
This Eldar commission came out beautifully. The client picked some excellent colors and I was very impressed with the end result. The light browns and blues compliment one another perfectly and the purples add a strong contrast. Note also the freehand line work and icons on the models! This is a level 3 paint job with level 3 basing. - See more at: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/portfolio-items/eldar/#sthash.p74utVEh.dpuf
My guess would be client preference. It isn't a terrible choice.
