I really like them. Quite nasty (as they should be). However, if I may offer one bit of constructive critiscism, I would like to point out one bit I do not like on the Mamon model. I think the tube leading into the hot tub of puke is a bit bright when compared to the rather mottled, gritty look of the rest of the model. It's like just saying "HERE I AM!!!!!!!!" and overall, is ruining the rear view of the mini (at least for me) I think more tieing it in with the browns and reds of the model would make it not only grosser looking, but also tone the brightness down a bit.
I like that you made the tubes green, but I would mix some brown into it and go with a more rotted, "dead" green (similar to that which you have painted some bits of his flesh.) Right now the tube looks like it's glowing, which I'm not sure fits in with the rest of the model.
Otherwise, however, as far as this dynamic duo of minis goes, these are one of the best painted copies I've seen.

Very cool, but uh what did you make the robo arm out of on his little friend? That could easily be used on an Ork with a few "modifications"

Thanks for the comments.
It was hard to figure out what the 'tube' might be made of.
Maybe when I was first painting it I thought 'skin', so anything going through it would be 1, visable & 2, paler (as the skin would bleach out the colour). I do think you're right about the colour though.
I've given it some thought and my thoughts were black rubber. I want to steer away from making it too close to the green/brown of the rest of the model as there are so many parts of this paint job that blend into each each other all ready - the details are clearer face-to-face.
Anyone else want to pitch in??

Oddly enough I don't often say this about Nurgle stuff, but Mamon looks absolutely sick. In a "man that's not right" kinda way...the gun arm in particular stuck out, it looks downright nasty.
Great job, you've really done these FW models justice I'd say.
