Honest opinions? Album sucks now you can't link to pics.
Seriously though, nice figs. You';ve got some good colour sense going on there. Nice handling of the pinky-red on the barbarian character. If you really want a criticism, The goldy bits on him could do with toning down, maybe a wash around the bolts through the bars on his shins to make them stand out a bit more, or try and depict them as steel rather than gold.
Good jobs.

I quite like them too, I havent played the game but the models look so nice.
on the guy with the fur lining building the beard or fur up from a different base colour would help define which hair is his and which part is the clothes

Cool thanks, Ill try toning the gold down. I tried out NMM but just cant get it atm. I really like using pink as a highlight on reds, it kind of makes the colour more matt finished...
Yea about the hair and fur his hair was white and the cloak grey but i liked it white better...

First of Igot to say I really like it, I love the warmachine figures. Is this guy like a beserker and the tiny pic his the form he turns into ? I seen pics of them, dey badass!
I like they way you paint them, the get a real comic art style to them which really suits the models. I do have a few things that I would suggest which are just things to enhance what I see in you work.
I see I would say a good matt varnish would bring alot to the figure making the clothers feel more organic. (unless its just lighting).
I would give a extra highlight in the leather, komando khaki only diluted so its wet but not runny (mine came this consistency) first put on sharp lines until the small amount of paint is used the go back and lightly feather the edges. it gives a nice gradient and is more or less wet/dry blending with one colour.
For the mud on the cloak. Use the same technique you already used, which looks sweet, with a lighter shade of brown, either a washed out whitish brown (komando khaki again;) for dry mud or a rich dark brown for a wetter 'fresh' look.
the cutting edge of the weapon could be shinnier to make it look sharper unless he causes fear cause if you survive you will get tetnus >=]
The face and hair of a nice comic book feel about them, maybe blending the hair fron the light blue at the tip to dark blue near the head. paint a little manga hair shine with dark blue ink (or the like) on the light blue and vice versa and the same coulour to pick out the individual strands on the light blue.
also my answer for everything is komando khaki and if you layer it on like I mentioned for the leather it just shiftes the skin tone a little and gives a real grizzled and stern look, just define the lips cheek bones and any other highlights.
I cant paint a decent coloured tatoo to save me (so i dont try any more) Phil had some great tips in one of his posts. but facial tatoos are badass too!
I cant wait to see a group shot of your army.It would be nice to see how many figures you need =]

Its not a warmachine figure though, its a confrontation one made by rackham. Nicely done tho, maybe you could hit it with a dull coat but otherwise... I like the face btw, hes got that Im crazy look to him. |

Throwing huge steel constructions into other huge steel things, what could be more fun?! I know! Going against my factions strength of having the best armour in the game and only having two jacks and 6 infantry squads!! MUAHAHAHA (even though the two jacks have the best armour in the game anyway) Sorry the bottom pic is real small, i accidentally resized it on photobucket lol. Loving your cryx guys, i was going to get cryx untill i was lured into khador  |
