Ok, this is a commission I did recently for an Emperor's Children force. They're based loosely on the classic EC color scheme, with some variants worked out between me and my client. It isn't often that there's call to paint a green leopard print on any mini- this force is a pretty unique opportunity:

Very well painted, the paint scheme is very refreshing and definitely accepting of the Emperors Childrens' fluff of painting thier armor with bright colors!

Inventive, unususal, colourful, brilliant

Have I ever told you how much I love your work? Well...I F**KING LOVE YOUR WORK! Simply beautiful!

I always like the work you post, this project is very cool. Love the Emperors Children scheme...quite unique!

Leopard Print on EC is disturbingly fitting.

I'm sorry to say but it seems rather hasty job to me. Overall i like the noise marines, brilliantly ironic however i don't really like the harsh pink and red parts. .

I Can see them storming the battle field blasting "Nothin But a Good Time" by Poison Through Mounted Spiked Speakers!

"Dont need nuthin but a good time!!" *Bang Shoot Shoot Chain Swords cutting through people* "How can I resist"

Awesome paint job and a very refreshing paint scheme!

Quality.
The pink and red leopard skin looking part is quite apt.

Overall I'd say excellent work. Perfectly fitting the EC fluff. I have to say though, the rhino's seem a little cartoony.

Nice paint job, great work

Green and pink leopard print - YES absolutely love these, bet you've got a happy client.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Very cool! I really like the way the green sets off the pink and purple. It's all very appropriately gaudy.

Spectacular work as always. Extra points for playing your slaanesh conversions straight, it's always so easy to break and make it a little goofy but this looks straight out of the books. Well done. There are 2 very minor things, though, and they're pure preference on my part, but I think the maulerfiend head doesn't jive with the defiler body. It's not square-peg-in-round-hole bad, but the original head would have looked a lot better, and would actually fit the Slaanesh theme better as well. Maybe if it were Khorne...

#2 is the polka dots. They're just painted on as a design, so it doesn't look like a mutation, nor does it look like something the Emperor's Children would add themselves.

This is good stuff again Odin... I'm working on a slightly different kind of Slaanesh Cultist Force at the moment, a little more dark and dirty looking, but its always nice to see some inspiring mini's.. Good job!

Having grown up in a club named after these guys, they've always had a special place in my heart. This is the best Chaos force I have ever seen. I just wish it had more.

its glorious!

Thanks for all of the comments.

Somehow I imagine the Emperor's Children finding a planet populated by pink and green leopards to adorn their armor. I might be the only one there.

So that everyone knows, the conversions are not mine. My client assembled them before sending them out to me, so I can't take any credit there.

In fact the leopard print was his idea in the first place- the two of us worked out this color scheme through a test mini.

Oh, and he's let me know that he liked them too.
