It looks clean and crisp, good job. My only criticism is that on some of the bases it looks like the snow isn't fully covering the base and a bit of the plastic is peeking through. A little white paint would make it look a bit nicer.

Also, do you perchance play at the LA battlebunker with necrons? I saw someone there a few week ago with some firewarriors painted in those colors.

Your eyes are weary from staring at the screen. You feel sleepy. Notice how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.

Actually, the bases are first "obsidion" rock and then snow. The theme will play out more in the terrain asit is added.
The flocking around the rim of any bases will also be fixed.

And no, I live in Portland.

Very good tabletop.

However, your bases need some "texture" the blanket of snow looks boring and repetitive.

You could try some slate or pre-cast bases, then apply snow.

It looks decent Nice job.

The only thing I must criticise on, are the bases. There are pieces of plastic coming though the snow,and it looks boring. Try to beef the baces up with some other bits and pieces, like wrecked drones, dead guardsmen, whatever...

I like these guys. I don't know if it's the photos or what, but I'm not seeing any shading or highlights on the models - highlighting white - it's more likely than you think!

If you really wanted to take your painting a few steps further, you could mix Astronomicon Grey with white for a very, very, almost white grey. From there you could do a watered down Asurmen Blue wash in the crevices and do a pure Skull White highlight on all the edges. To highlight the Ice Blue, you can just mix Skull White with Ice Blue.

You've shown you can already paint some very neat base colors, now it's time to take it to the next level! You've got a very cool scheme, and I'd love to see it develop.

Once again, the black peeking throught the snow is not base. There is a layer of black substrate, and then snow over the top.
As far as highlights, there are 2 reasons why these are not heavily highlighted.
1. Painting white sucks. I had no idea when I started how much of a b it would be!
2. I wanted a real clean, simple, anime feel. Some may not like the unrealistic result, but I am quite happy with it.

Anyway, beside someday adding to the bases, these puppies are sealed. I have no problem putting them on the table.
In addition, this hsot was before my first game with them... I don't like to deploy unpainted models...
