That's some extreme muscle shading. I guess it looks good from afar or something.

They need better painters! That isn't even a wash on those muscles, for shame!

:-P

I definitely see myself getting a set of those chariots for my WHFB celts though. You know, after I build and IG army of about 5000000 pts.

It's not that rare, really. Most historical minis are not painted to what we'd call "tabletop standard", I suppose it's because they're usually fielded en masse, and historical gamers tend to be history buffs as opposed to people interested in assembling and painting fiddly bits.

I like 'em.
I even sorta like the muscle painting.

It's kind of weird, because I agree the muscles don't exactly have a top shelf paint job, but look at the pants and clothing - those are all painted up quite well I think. Not jaw-droppingly well, but certainly a strong tabletop standard.

The one guy looks like he has a toothpick for a javelin though!


I just though though, you know what these guys would be good for in a GW game? Chaos Marauders! If I get motivated to finish my Chaos army I might actually pick up a box just for that purpose...
