About time I posted something
Still highlighting to do on a few of them, its taken ages to get this far, so I thought, a bit of jeeing up was in order

Honest comments please

Honestly? .....Wow! Fantastic ! Brilliant. Love em !

Been thinking of setting round bases into a display base like that.. any tips
on how best to do it. Would like the round bases to almost dissapear.

Its my first mousy, the GW bases are slanted so hiding them is difficult unless you upend them.
I just used polyfilla and an old standard GW movement tray base with a figure on a round base to get it in and out again whilst drying.

Love em, Krom! If you swap the bases for Litko you don't have the sloping sides so you can camouflage them even more

My only criticism is that your background colour sucks although that's 100% subjective

I though a moodier background, hows these any better?

Dave T · Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2007 3:19 pm Post subject:

Either of those seems to suit it more, just go with the one you like the best

Excellent stuff Krom, gotta' agree with Dave about the first background though

Just had a go of this x-box game called Halo 3, so getting a bit enthusiastic about Sci-fi stuff. May even try and paint some in the new year

I've got some more to do on the figures, highlights but thats how the client wantd them, Green. I'm going to put a wall in the background, but client does not want barbed wire, so maybe just some more rubble etc I've got one ogryn too, i've had a go at him, but not happy with the skin yet, lol.

Thanks all,
