Hi.

I started painting these couple of weeks ago, but didn't have the guts to finish them in one go. After staring at almost-finished models for more two weeks, I finally grapped the brush, hit the final details with some paint and gave them a coat of Armypainter Strong Tone. Yesterday I matt varnished the little ones and put some grass on the bases, and today I represent you...

with one additional piccie:


The miniatures are nice and very detailed, but it has its downsides. The casts required a lot of filing and preparation and painting took ages due to endless amount of details. I did cut some corners on the painting and no area has more that one highlight, if any. Hence the decision to give them a coat of dip, to smooth the highlights and blend the colours to coherency.

Any comments or critique?

Great work, the highlights look good too. These guys are definitely a huge step up from the last Ratling models and I'm tempted to pick some up myself one day.

Great pics too!

That is a great job. Love the quality of the paint job. Nothing against you I just do not like the ratlings models.

Again, I'm not a massive fan of the models, but thats a really nice paintjob!

Those look outstanding! I cant wait to get my hands on some.
