Hi all.

Earlier this week (before I started on my Jungle Scouts) I did some IG in ze Desert, nearly done:





I would really appreciate feedback and suggestions on how I can improve them.

not much I can say to make them seem better. Except maybe that you stole my color scheme almost to the letter But still I enjoy the way they look. The Tatoo on the side of the guys head is awsome.
Alli can say is I wish they would come out with new Tallarn Desert Raider Models... I miss them soo much

Those are some sexy desert rats. Nice job.

edit: I really like the detail on the baldies. Tattoos on the
skull look really neat and you do a great job on that.

My only concern is the freehand lettering on the bases. It's
neat and crisp, but I think that if you're going to letter the bases
that decals would make them match the mnis better. But
that's my personal bias.

>Tattoos on the
skull look really neat and you do a great job on that.

Thanks. The tattoo pattern is just some old flashback skills (takes me a minute or two with an 0-brush) from the time I used to be an High Elf player...

>decals would make them match the mnis better.

Probably - but I have a few hundred IG (and I try to name them all). Using decals would drive me insane.

I like 'em, but my only problem is the fact that the melta gunner seems to have earned his sgt. stripes

>the melta gunner seems to have earned his sgt. stripes

Naah, actually he's just wearing the sarges jacket as Sgt. Hawkins couldn't fit it over his new powerfist ;-)

Very nice. I like them.

"(and I try to name them all). Using decals would drive me insane."

are you kidding? it would drive me crazy just naming all of mine!

they are great!

I would end up with a whole lot of redneck sounding names "bubba bo bob" and such just to fill out the ranks

Nice work, the lads look really solid.  I especially like using the Catachan sarge as a desert rat, and the little touch of red on the las magazines is a nice detail.  Are there more in the pipe, or is this a one-off scouting group like the jungle scouts?  (I'm assuming the jungle boys aren't themselves the start of a jungle fighter horde )

Also, let me say here how impressive those carnasaur scouts are !  Damnation!
