some great conversion work!

most Slann coaches have painted the skins different colours to make positions more apparent, but you may be able to do that in some other way - I see the coloured dots on the base but don't know if you intend to keep those?

Slann are a fun team to play, so I suggest you make them fun to paint and look at as well - lots of bright colours, yellows, greens, pink, cyan etc.. 8)

I agree with Norse, Slaan are a great chance to go wild with your colors and technique and really try something fun and bright. They're sort of my "holy grail" team of the future I hope to some day finally acquire and then really paint up nicely after my meager-at-best painting skills have had much more time to develop.

Cool conversions, love number 4 the catcher. Id do a uniform skin colour for all of them. Maybe in the style of poison tree frogs? loads of varity there.

Something like this little fella:-

You could give your star player a crown too, a la princess and the frog!

Thanks Norse ! It was a pleasure both to play and convert this guys (At the third season I lost the final at extra time against a Norse team ....)
The dot it's only to help my opponent to recognise the position players (yellow catcher, red blitzer and so on).
A the moment I'm little afraid that, if I use very different skin colous (Blue, green yellow) the team became too much
"rainbow" for my personal taste ...

Love your conversions, congrats!

As for the colours, one option is to chose a bland colour scheme for the skin, and then paint the positionals details (feathers, or gloves, or ...) in any striking colour you see fit.

For may slann I went for bright orange skin, blue jump suits on the blitzers and jumping poses on the catchers. If you want a uniform team I'd pick a nice bright skin colour and differentiate the postitionals with different head feather colours.
