I don't really have much in the way of C & C for the paint jobs. They look good, and your choice of colors and basing is really nice. The only criticism I have is that you need to get a better photo center. There are some fairly cheap portable photo studios that you can find that come with the lights and the backdrop. I got mine for around $30. Since you obviously paint well, I think it would be a worthy investment to really showcase your talents.

Great stuff!

I assume the Eldar are all painted identically and the flash is merely washing out the subtleties on some of the models? If so, I love the slight hints of dark green on the armor. Gives it a sort of "moss slowly creeping over bone" feel that I dig. Wouldn't change a thing on those models.

As for the koptas, I really like the basing, but I feel that the body could use a little highlighting. Lots of hard edges there, but the paintjob doesn't really reflect that. You can keep it dark, but even a subtle once over with some marginally brighter edgelining would really emphasize the shape.

I really like the armour on those fire dragons. Looks sort of like bone and skinned flesh, which gives them a sort of sinister air. (if that wasn't intentional, I hope I don't sound like a nascent serial killer here)

Fantastic looking models. How do you do your mud bases?

the mud bases are pretty easy, i take filler (stuff to fill up holes) from the local DIY-shop, paint it scorched brown, drybrush snakebite leather on top then wash it with badab black/devlan mud.

Yeah thats pretty much how I do mine, yours just look better though, more like mud. I might try drybrushing them a bit heavier.
