They look fantastic, I'm wishing once again I'd not sold my orc army  :'( . If you're looking for suggestions for improvement I'd say that you might want to work on the basing a little (the strips are still evident and there's flock on the edges) but to be honest these look spot on to me and I'm having to think hard to find something to say!

Oh, and I guess I'd like to see better pictures. I'd make them ever so slightly larger, less blur (you might try a tripod and your camera's timer or move the camera back a little and crop the excess background), a plain background, and, if you're not doing it yet, you should try the macro setting on your camera if it has one (the flower symbol on most).

I am enjoying seeing another O&G army.
Helps to motivate me  ;D
I might speed up a bit now.
The tips about background will help.
I use a couple of sheets of plain white paper as the back ground as it helps to reflect the light about.

I have made a boo boo with my savage orc boar riders :(
When getting out my wolf chariots to build I noticed an undercoated strip of 3 savage boar boyz   :o
So these have now been painted and added to the others, I couldn't figure out why I had based the others as I had!

On the workbench is 5 units of standard boar riders armour done and boars done just needing flesh and details doing.
Followed by 4 units of wolf chariots and a unit of ALT boar chariots.
I am probably going to cheat with these.
All the gobbo crew will be done in the usual black undercoat followed by metalic or grey drybrush.
But the wolves I am spraying with grey primer and then washing badab black followed by picking out a few details.
The chariots are sprayed leather brown then the metal is picked out followed by the harness. Then a devlan mud wash all over so might get all these done by this time next week.
As RL painting is also nearly finished :)

Nice work empire and orc generals.  The guns look very strong!  I also am a big fan of the savage orc boar boyz!  Welcome lilith, what remains unpainted?

Also; nice archers swordmaster!

On to my contribution for the week.  I finally managed to knock out the last of the Araby infantry:


Then it was on to the Knights.  A nice, and some might say essental, addition to the army.  I do idly wonder what might have happened if 'knights' in the list were omitted in favour of reducing the desert rider cost by 50% and making them a minimum choice in order to give the list a more 'saracen' flavour... but a nice addition nonetheless.

With that, and some other (minor) changes you would end up with the SECOND Araby list that the ODT had submitted to GW at the time: Tribal Araby.

That list AND the original Araby City list are still around if anyone is interested......

Some very nice O&G's, and Pugwash your Araby army is getting better and better. I really like those knights, almost tempted to get some myself...

And now for something completely different, I've finally actually finished something from start to finish (well from a black undercoat) as part of this little thing. Here is my Legate, Centurion on horseback or whatever you want to call him. Apologies for the poor photo, I only get time to do anything like this late at night at the moment, so the only daylight comes from my single daylight bulb. I've noticed that the pictures that I took of the various shield designs are by far the best so far, and IIRC I took those during the day whilst I was prepping some other stuff for ebay. It was the only way I could get the wife to look after the kids for a couple of hours, telling her that I'm selling some of my toys :(

So anyway, I'm particularly please with the red cloak. It was painted very quickly (for me), using mechrite red as the base colour, then highlighting with blood red, then washing with Baal Red, then re-highlighting with blood red, and then a final highlight of Blazing Orange and a Baal Red wash over the top of all that. It's created a nice deep red. Not as deep and full as red's I can achieve through more traditional means, but more than good enough for army standard painting, and I might even be tempted to use the technique (possibly with some brown washes between armour plates) for my SH Terminators...


Anyway, here it is. I thought I'd make up for the fact that there's only one model by taking pictures from as many angles as possible ;)

Stomm: I like a lot the legate, the red colour is great, but wow a lot of work there.

Pugwash: you speed up with your army, good for you!, and the compromise level of painting is not going down, even I say it is improving, those knights looks really really good.

Azrael: Great squiggoth, really nice, and imaginative. After still thinking about the stats (If I had to use it in my homemade games) I would go for the stats of the lizardmen army, but all depends of the size of the battle... who says the size doesn't matter?  ;). Looking forward to see those orc raiders (armour and unarmoured).

lilith: a lot of pics to comment... just nearly a whole army. The paint is very coherent, with drybrushing effect. I think the colours are chosen very well for orc and goblin army. It will be great to see sumarize all your units in a thread.

Angor: How it goes those gallpes cannons?

Swordmaster: It seems an old paint-master has appear in this forum, maybe you could convince him to join us ;)

pw: I like the idea of inner circle unit. Going to golden colours could be a good distinctive, but I do not know how GW illustrations represent them.

M4jumbo: with the artillery very nice done. What is your next unit?

Rolgan: Those harad trolls looks great. Where they 15mm monsters? Which manufacture?

Lex: I am just still anxious for seen how the armypainter  is working... I know that evry one has his time to paint and  is not fair asking for work done, I apologize, but I have real curiosity.
So, the choice of unit for the army is really great. I think I said that in the past, but is not bad repeat it :)

Meister.Peitz: Lot of time without enjoying one of your paintjob. we miss you :)

Jchaos: You should paint more, and write less. I am inflexible with you!  :P

Well he is the necromancer or Anubis-set priest or a very malevolous lichie (depends on the taste of the observer :P)

sorry, didnt realize I was supposed to put my answers here, now I know.
 As for me being old master-painter- well, I taught swordmaster BASICS ha ha, he is long past these period and I m still kind of stuck there ;) . Saying that at least I can take credit for infecting him with wargames :)
