Really chuffed with these guys, and the colour scheme works well with the next group...

Some individual shots:
While these guys won't win any competitions, I'm hoping they're going to look good on the tabletop. Next up are Fire Dragons, hopefully some pictures of these guys soon.
As always comments and criticism very welcome.
Loving the turquoise weapons fella. They contrast nicely without standing out. Good work as always!
ReplyDeleteLove the rangers. Great work Andy
ReplyDeletefantastic! I like the subtle camo of the rangers and the highlights on the scorpions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys!
ReplyDeleteI still wasn't sure about the colour of the weapons until I painted the first of the scorpions, and then it pretty much clicked for me. I have to say the colour works even better on the fusion gun on the first of the Fire Dragons (pictures tomorrow hopefully).
I wanted the camo on the rangers to blend together, rather than have hard edges - I think it works.
You are much too modest. Were I a judge, I'd give them first place.
ReplyDeleteHey Andy, don't know if you've noticed but you are on From the Warp's Tuesday Top Ten [cue: slightly jealous but entirely sincere applause!]
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, I saw it last night - must admit I did a little of the happy dance when I found out.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't pretty.
