There are some realy cool models and conversions amongst those! My favorites are the Elf Ranger and the Sorcerer!

Thanks Arathorn, those are my fovourites too

Some WONDERFUL stuff there! It's going to take several VERY pleasant trips through the photos to drink it all in. The Reikland Captain, the Merchant, & the Ogre are running neck & neck for my favorites. All the Lads are VERY WELL DONE!

A Perry Miniature! The Reiklanders are my favorite. Did you use a dip for some of them?

This is some really cool stuff you have here! I really like the merchant with the stripes.

LOVE the Elf Ranger, excellent use of bits on that one! Both mercenary captains stand out quite a bit as well, very cool!

Are the parts for your first captain from current Empire sprues? They looked unfamiliar, but then I haven't kept up to date with recent releases.

Oh, the legs are from the empire cannon workers, the chest and the left arm (including the cloak) are from the empire outriders and the right hand from the imperial statal troops.

im sorry, i dont understand that you asking for me exactly, my english is so poor , what is exactly a dip?

A dip, like a kind of matt varnish or wash on the flesh. I don't know how to describe it exactly.

No exactly, i only use the "devlan Mud" ink of games workshop covering all the model, i have print with white sprai at first, and i pint over after that.
with white print, the colours get more "light" and later i use that ink for getting the shadows.
im not sure if i explain well, im sorry, my english is poor

VERY NICE! Your choice of colors is PERFECT! Anyone should be proud of getting their butts kicked all over the place by your Warband!

My only suggestions (for future models), make sure you file those mold lines off before painting. Several models (for example the Ogre) still have them, and when you use inks they get accentuated. Also, you are DEFINITELY ready to start experimenting painting eyes. Take few spare heads, glue them to a stick and paint them. Now practice painting eyes... once you get the hang of it all your models will improve to a new level.

De verdad... excelente trabajo. Unos modelos super cheveres!

Thank you very much!, its true that i have to quit the mold lines, its dificult to see them at natural, but in photos they appear, and the models dont look realy cool.
And i have to learn to paint eyes, ive tryed to do it and the results were very bad, but i will try to learn.

I have this one brush that has, over the years, lost probably 90% of its bristles, so there are only a few left, which makes it perfect for minute details like eyes. I've also heard of people dabbing a little paint onto the end of a pin or toothpick to get it in there.

I've also heard of more than one method for doing eyes - some people like to paint the eye white and then put a black dot in the middle of it, others like to paing it black and put two small white dots on either side, so you can experiment with both and see what works better for you.

Do not be 'afraid' of painting eyes... try it. You will be amazed! Once you get the hang of it, its not that hard. Getting the trick requires some practice.

coool
