Here's a preview of the first vampire. I'm undecided regarding the thing attaching the raised leg to the base. The mini is too unstable without it and though of either painting it black or red and make a pool of blood underneath it. Good ideas for team names are also welcome :)

This is very cool, but don't you want to do the squig in a more contrasting colour? red, purple, yellow, I don't know, but now it seems like it's part of the goblin.

How about red with white dots (mushroom alike)?
:orc:

The blue 'smurf' looks really cool, congrats!

I think the contrast between the smurf and squig is bigger IRL, but can see your point. Don't think I'll repaint him (and another fellow "vamp") but the others might get another colour. Cool idea with the mushroom squig, kinda fits with the theme :)

Looks great to me. I actually like the Squig colour as it is.

Here's an example. My Chaos Dwarf team:

(the big guy has been painted now, but I'm too lazy to take another picture)

By using the bright purple (which was nicely ofset by the green) but keeping some grey on the robes I made the team really stand out. I would aboslutely love to see the same thing done in yellow or turqoise as well.

I should point out that this whole post was made purely because I'm very firmly in the "Goblins should be green!" camp.
I like your team, you could use it as a Squig Herders team as well:

0-2 Squig Hopper 100000 6 4 3 7 Blood Lust, Leap, Mighty Blow, Pro, Sprint A
0-4 Squig 70000 5 4 4 7 Blood Lust, Leap, Mighty Blow, No Hands, Really Stupid, Sprint, Very Long Legs A
0-16 Squig Herder 40000 6 2 3 7 Dodge, Right Stuff, Stunty A

Re-roll counter: 50000 gold pieces each
