| Well, I figure I should start a modeling thread for my warband, so here we go.
To start us off, I'll just post some photos of my warband thus far.
Group Shots:
As I finish more models I'll post them here.
Comments and Crits always appreciated!

| I said it before an' I'm a say it again: They look friggin perfect! Perfect in the exact sense that they couldn't have been done any better. Totally professional, clean and ... stylish look. Awesome job, man!
I still hate Skaven though

| WOW! 
Just beautiful work! I'm sure you have heard all this before, but, as cianty said, a very professional look, great choice of colors, & selection of minis shown off in an excellent series of photos. I especially like the Big Rat holding the scythe with his tail. These are inspirational pieces. I hate you [only kidding, I think  ].
BTW I LOVE that female sniper you had on display at the Dakka link you supplied.  |

| Thanks for all of the kind words guys. I really appreciate it. I've really been pushing my technical abilites a lot lately (those who read the newest blog on my site have a bit of a heads up on that ^_-).
As to the Dakka link, I also use those pieces to try out new techniques as well. With every one, I go in thinking of a new way to paint, and stick to it from start to finish. I learn more from one offs and small projects than I EVER did trying to paint an entire army.

| | The great thing to be gained from painting "armies" is a deep rooted self discipline, AND a tolerancee for mind numbing, boring, repetitious drudgery. |

| These look great! The snow bases are exactly what i've got planned for my warbands.
I've been using just a baking powder mixture. Can you give any info on what/how you've done these?
Also, as tom said, the metals look fantastic, apparently without using metalic paints. Really cool!
thanks

| Thanks for the kind words everyone. These guys are pretty much the pinnacle of my work so far. It's nice to see I'm doing something right ^_^.
As to the snow bases, I'm just using Woodland Scenics snow flock. I mix it about 1 for 1 Snow/PVA glue and then smear the mix onto the base. Makes it nice and thick, without multiple layers.

| | i did not notice that you used NMM techniques when i looked at this earlier today, usually that sticks out like a sore thumb but yours looks very natural. |
