Thrawn, i'd be be very interested in how much you charged for that job. I'd love to have some BB woodelfs in that look. I tried it myself once, but the camo look did not come out as wanted.
Tim, thats the only reason ? ... or are running out of painting and converting time... ? :wink:

I like the painting! But too much stuff on the base but the boss wanted it.

I would like to see more off your paint jobs.

@Tim

Regarding camo on WE: this might work but all I can say about WE is that there are really hard to paint because there's really nothing to make them exceptional. The lack of detail is really frustrating if you like the race and want to do something special with them. In my mind I always see them as sufers with neopren suits especially when I look at the team done by the 'Eavy Metal guys.

I have painted WE more than any other miniature in BB but I found out the only way they "work" is when you paint them in a true football fashion. Still I'm not too happy witht the result and for Dungeon Bowl I will have a complete new team that consists mainly of Pro Elves and old High Elves.

Cheers

look good paint job, very nice camo.
Shame about the varnish - looks like it ahs given a crap finish from the photo (but i may be wrong) Matt varnish with brush?
Still good detail and bases are nice if a bit much for the tabletop - cant please all the people all the....

There was no problem with the varnish. I am very pleased with the finish but I still am a poor photographer. I used "Purity Seal" spray (matt varnish) and very little of that. It's really ok.

Skin tones look a bit rough and as you say the buyer's colour scheme looks rubbish. But not too bad really.
