Lovely looking unit. I'm digging the Sternguard feller too.

Lovely greens, very impressive.

It's certainly pushing 7.5-8, which is decent given the quality (lack thereof) of the sculpt. Not bad at all!

Crazy mad painting. Very believable effects.

I've always quite liked the Skaven pieces, but I've never seen a sculpt as bad as the first paint job. The paint job is alright, it's just that the figure itself is a travesty.

A typically silly female figure, but very well painted. Hats off!

I'm digging these. Very nice indeed.

Aye, I mentioned SOL in the OP (or at least my second post) I think. A cracking site.

Fair play, I'd like to have an afternoon looking at your figures again mate!

I changed my name to align with my presence on other forums, tying in Frothers as well. I'm a whoring publicity seeker :D. And a teat!

They're ALL girls? Blimey - i've been approaching some of them all wrong :D.

Actually, Jubilee, Bren and Boristfrong aside, I knew they were all ladies. Just pulling a few plonkers :)

Hoik those twigs off of the base! Very nice work otherwise, pushing 8.5 for me. Some lovely painting. :)

These look well nifty. Got some midweek days coming up before long, and I'm going to have to try to catch up with you. I love the bunching of the group and the painting looks very good.

I like this, but I've just been looking at Avelorn's and they were lovelier in my eyes. Too clean here maybe, and not quite as contrasted as a Wong. I like it though.
