I second that, looking to see them produced

don't think you could cast the plastic bits easily, metal and greenstuff would be fine.

plus some of the poses would probably require them to be chopped up and made multipart

I could TRY...but I'd fail miserably. Me and saws don't get along.

Technically its great, the green stuffing is impressive and all that stuff you already know.
He still looks like he's doing the highland fling - I would have preferred the arms more to the sides as if he was running.

he's !censored! undead, a supernatural creature. I don't imagine they would worry about looking good for the girls but more like trying to look big and scary and about to rip you a new arse. If you wan't a dream boat pose then have a cuff over your semi naked pics of Griff!

del .. can you make a picture of all the figs you've now got for the team .. I'm crying and I want to know why ...

I don't mean to speak for Long fang, but I would guess that the chainmail was the easier part (just use a needle). The HARD part was getting those chest plates smooth and symetrical.

i dont agree with that.... i knew, this §$%&§$ chainmail isnt easy ! At last not in a larger scale ! And smooth plates are easier to do... at last for me !

Great work, Longfang ! Amazing paintwork, too ! And i agree with emberbreeze:

At this rate you will have the team ready to win every painting prize next year!

and Dave:

jeezz del .. can't you just finish the team and not spread the agony over this long a period ...

BTW... those are all parts of GW stuff you are using ? So you can use it at GW event or you dont care at all ?

Hm, i have to start a new conversion team, too !:roll:

the pose is definitely awkward, and it's no wonder at least one guy here doesn't like it... he looks either ridiculous or great. i can understand Thadrin, even though i like the pose. maybe it could be more orientated forward, i dunno. anyway, it is still a great mini, with awesome painting.

I was thinking along the lines of "I want to eat your spleen" actually. I think Ghouls should skulk - like Gollum.
As it is he's the undead equivalent of Michael Flatley. So he's scarey, but I'm not sure its in the right way.

nice pose - actually the main difference between your hasrats and the skaven 'imitators' that are rubbish, is the style in your pose. Guess nobody notices that when they rip them off!

Undead looking wicked

I was planning an elf side for May but i might just skip the hard work and admit defeat now. Awesome team.

If I were you Longfang, I wouldn't want to bring these guys to a tourney and have them laid down on the pitch by some clumsy opponent coach. They're Ming vases, man!
The minis rock, more than usual even. I agree with juck101, I just cancelled my next trip to Notts.

I don't know, but even if they are not finished I will probably use them. They won't be fully finished until well into next year, like the Hashrats there will be additions to the team as time allows.

He looks to me like he is either doing a td dance or dancing and shouting " i'm open, i'm open"

so all in the true spirit of bloodbowl
