You wait ages for an update and half a dozen come along all at the same time.
Well done!

Sorry, it's not a good pic. I'll take some more once I finish her warband. |

One aspect you could definitely improve on is the base. I'm assuming you base things raw after painting with the GW sand stuff. What I do is base them after assembly, before basecoating, and then after I paint the model I give a coat of paint to the base as well, typically simply a basecoat and then a drybrush with a highlight colour, followed by flocking. This will add another dimension to your already awesome miniatures. |

I don't use sand. It is railway model ballast which i give a brown wash for that dirty look. |

Drybrush it- it'll make it pop. Nice painting! |

I agree with the calls for a drybrushing on that base! I went back over all my Dwarves and drybrushed Codex Grey on top of the darker base colour. Made it look much better! |

When I did my bases I based the model during assembly so it also got primed during the priming phase, then just painted it brown and a drybrush of bleached bone which looked good enough. |

It's been a long time since I posted! I took the advice on board about my bases and have changed to a more earthy approach. I think it looks better. Now to take some pics.. |

If like me you are looking for shields for those models that have the option on the profile but don't actually have one. |

And also for June 2 wood elves and a galadrim This was to test colours One wood elf is from mirkwood the other serves the Lady of the wood, hence the white. I included a Rivendel elf to compare. I think they individual enough to show they are from separate warbands but have an overall look that will hold them together as an allied army. |
