A pair of Kommandos...

Getting there, although the latest one did get slightly rushed towards the end - I got to that point when I just couldn\'t put the damn brush down, and just was wanting to paint and paint and paint!

Still not confident about doing anything other that your bog-standard base at the moment, nor am I going to touch that Kommando boss figure until the other two Kommandos are finished!

Did the vote thing. These look really good! I love the new kommandos, although I painted the nob first because I could\'nt wait to paint one of the new sculpts. I suppose you could use the leverage of \"I won\'t paint the big guy until I\'m done with the little guys\" as incentive to do those too

As far as the bases go, I do a sand/grassy mix since I use all of my minis for gaming, not just display. If these bases match a current army \"theme\" then you\'re alright point wise (I would think).

Lookin\' good - keep it up. And don\'t be afraid of the big guy, if you don\'t like what you did - jsut dip\'em and start over!

I like these guys - in particular the green you have used. Not that ghastly uber bright green that I have seen on too many models

There is a lot of metallic on these models and to break it up a bit, try using a colour other than black to shade it. Brown works very nicely and gives it a rusty feel - even a nice brown/black mix can warm the metal a little. Nice work and good luck with the Boss!

Thanks for the advice - half done the other two, and will give other metal colours a go!

As an aside, that Kroot you\'ve done is just brilliant - after I get these orks out of the way, I might just pick up a couple and see what I can do myself!

Ah yes the Kroot - he was lovely to paint I\'d wanted to do one for a while because I really like them as a race, but I didn\'t want to buy a whole box - I\'m a cheap-skate Then a friend gave me a sprue and I was off...! I have a Krootox lurking on my painting table too

If you can get your hands on one, have a go yourself

Looking forward to seeing your other two commandos, oh and the boss of course
