This is a bit of a plog. If anything it will keep me motivated! C&C/ideas/input welcome!

Basically I've done all of my infantry : all base coated and then the armor, skin and gold bitz done. Next up is eyes, weapons and then black/details

I really like the colour and how you've done the armour with it. When you get a contrasting colour on the bases, it will really pop.

Two thumbs up, should look great on the tabletop.

Really liking the multi-bladed whatsit on the Lhamaean. Do you have a close-up shot?

No but I can get one. The idea is that it's a fan-esque thing as I'll use her as Malys

Another vote for the nice colour, and for doing a contrasting base.

One other point, when you take the photos try and put a plain background behind them (some Kitchen roll works well) as it'd make your paintjobs stand out more. Also I think the strong reds in the photo are confusing the sensor on your camera.

Yes SirT - I know it's a bit hodge podge. I literally took them last minute on my painting mat (cheap vinyl cover!) but I agree that the spots make it a bit too chaotic. Next time I will set up my S curved sheet-o'-paper and do them nicely. By then they might even be painted :-)

Warriors and Mandrakes done. Next up Incubi & Wyches.

Looks nice. Turqouise is my favorite colour, so I really like the scheme you've chosen. And I like how it is quite shiny.
