Testing a new, less red, color scheme.

This is excellent and much better (to my subjective eye) than the usual "red everything" look.

Your pictures hurt my eyes, far too bright, and the contrast seems way out.

From what I can see they look really good.

I really like them. Good job.
I love seeing people deviate from the original.

Agree the picture editing is maybe a bit overdone (looks bit too sharp to me). The paintjob is wonderful though!

Ramp down the clarity/contrast on your post-editing.

That said, I like the colours you've chosen, and the reptile skin is very good looking.

These look very cool!

Are the bottom guys converted dragon ogres? Whatever I'm liking a lot.

Only criticism is, as with the other posters above is the pics are very bright. Perhaps a black background for them?

that looks amazing how did you pull it off?

Thanks.

Blood Warriors = simple conversions (head/weapon swaps) on the ones in the AoS starter box.

Blood Ogors = Dragon Ogre torsos + home made legs (resin cast in a mould made on a pair of green stuff master legs).
Cloaks is mostly green stuff and resin casts.

Pic quality = Colours are actually quite close to the original, this said I do seem to have used a to harsh Smart Sharpen in PSD though
Mea culpa, used an old Action that scaled the pics to 700 px wide and applied sharpness.

These are stellar. Love the paint scheme. Can you reveal some of your secrets? How'd you go about achieving these colors?
