Cool conversion of the lords

Really coming along well with the painting.  Congrats!

Couldn't see the older pictures on this thread, yet looks like you reposted quite a few of your units, and they were good to see.

Thanks guys.

Poet: yeah - my company switched domains so nothing showed up anymore & the system won't let me update the links to the images for some weird reason - ah well, you get that on the big jobs

The work on the bases is good and well worth the effort, it sets the models apart. The metal looks quite flat and non-metalic on your models. A bit more shading or even adding some "chips" to the edge to simulate battle damage could really improve this in my opinion. Some of the models also seem to lack contrast and the parts seem to merge, try adding a few more neutral, organic tones to break this up. They are very cleanly painted though.

Thanks for the input - Will take it all on board.  Still learning so think I'm happy with the clean painting bit, will start trying some more technical stuff on the next lot (no highlighting done at all so far on these models, just shading).

Well how about the clear highlights on the knight's banner? I personally think that it looks good so you are definately capable.[/font]

believe it or not - thats just a base colour with Scarab Red wash then a weak Badab Black wash.  Haven't had the guts to try actually adding highlights to anything yet - some are just a side effect of using the washes for shading.
... but i'll take that as a compliment none the less

the shield of the bannerbearer looks quite weird
please remove it
the rest is as good as usual
