Nice work Fracas !

I personaly prefere to base my heroes and general on "othershaped" bases, but that is a very personal choice and seeing yours you actualy pull them off on normal bases !  Kudos !!

originally i was going to base my characters on 20x20 but some things just did not fit
so for consistency sake i went with the standard base size

Lovely - thanks for the piccys.

For what it's worth I would agree with a previous comment made re the wash.
You could turn your well painted army of Kislev and Tomb Kings in gorgeous armies by using a wash like Devlan Mud - or at the risk of being branded a heretic by some on the forums - use a medium strength army dip?

I wouldn't do it with the dwarfs as they appear to ahve aenough contrast already.

A single test pilot unit is always a good way to go though before risking ruining an entire army and then crying! :)

I was thinking about washing all three armies but with your comment will likely not wash the dwarves. What color wash for the Kislev and khemri then?

Medium Dip (I use strongtone Army Painter)

nicely fleshed out undead there BTW

I wouldnt suggest you the Fanatic Army Painter for the Kislev and also not for the Dwarfes. Dipping those armies would give them a very brownish look and this over-all brown look would only fit for your Undead army.
For washing Kislev I'd suggest using the washes from GW ... colour by colour. So using the dark blue wash for the blue surfaces and the grey/(thinned) black wash for the bears. Same with the dwarfes. The metallics look good when washed with the black wash.

Using the Fanatic Army painter (FAP) on your Kislev army would just destroy them -.- ... they look so nice already. Blue is the worst colour for using the FAP because not a single blue surface has a brown shadow. Also the Kislev and the dwarf army look very clean ... if using FAP all the metallics would look dirty.
