All good fun, they have never won a game yet, don't care they are fun

Hey man, great stuff! I love the names haha.
The scheme works really well, looks good on all the minis. I especially like Spawn of Whatsit the Broodlord, the colours came out really well on him. Even your humble Hormagaunts look satisfying in large groups

Nice!!!! but i think something is missing, like a shiny color or something, you should try that on claw or eyes, i don't know

But i am a big fan of your raveners. keep it up

Ahhhhhh, Think you may have just solved a problem, yes they are missing something, did wonder on trying to make them look "wet", but don't want to do just a spray gloss varnish.

Think you may have hit it for the claws and teeth though, just 'something' without it being too much.

Do like the Raveners, there are a pair of metal ones here (somewhere) to go with them but I like the plastic ones more.

There is one of the brainy ones around somewhere but don't have a picture of him.


Main purpose was to have them done decently fast for a horde army, but in a way I can go back later.

First idea was two yellow stripes, either side of the ridge on the armour, may be a bit much but a muted yellow may work. have to have a think

Very nice but I'd agree they are missing a nice spot color. The green on the Zoanys works great, maybe more of that?

WOw they look nice. I like the bone..how did you make them look so bony?
Also nice highlighting...I like the whole colour scheme!
