Didn´t like those "2D" poses and those swords *cough*clubs*cough* original sculpts had so i tried to do something with them.

20 BG with musician and banner:

That banner guy is just temporary solution but perhaps i will use that idea when making second unit of 20.

Hope you enjoy it. If you don´t like something about some miniature, please don´t be shy and tell me. I don´t mind since i think that´s the only way to get better. The only think i´m asking you, tell me the reason why you don´t like it. Something like "That DH sucks!" is not going to tell me a thing. :D
If you want to know how i made this or that, comment here or via PM, i will try to answer as much as my english allows me. :) (Yep, not my native language)
If you like my work and want me to make something for you (I know it probably will not happen but there is always a chance :D) send me PM and we can negotiate terms.

P.s: If i comment your stuff harshly, I apologize in advance. Main problem here is my english and i sometimes write something that sounds very harsh and I don´t really mean it that way.

So far they look like you're off to a good start. Not sure about that Crossbowman though. His Crossbow looks a bit big and dopey.

Thanks for comments, as for the xbow, its actually smaller than original one, perhaps its the picture.
As for paint, well I have a friend for that. I convert his stuff, he paints mine. Too bad he doesnt have time now so he owe me some :D

Well yeah, it may look strange BUT im simply trying to make things "real" (not to defy gravity, at least not much :D, "clean" conversions, "real" poses...). Our warriors are using spears. Spears are piercing weapons, most common types of spears are spikes on a stick. Almost never curved. But designer of those spears wanted them different from other races spears so what you gonna do :)
As for curved spear i have inspired myself by weapon of Hussites (pic: http://www.straslivapodivana.cz/images/akce/husite2010.jpg simply scythe sticked straightly on the pole) and the fact that when using curved weapon to pierce, you have more strength if the tips point down, not up.

I am a fan of using string on the crossbows, like someone else said: I admire your attention to detail.

phierlihy: Well this look may be by picture made from close distance, the crossbow is actually slightly smaller.

Greenwhy: Thank you. Making first couple of strings was really pain in the ass but after those first i manage to find quite easy way to make it and i think the time spend making the strings was worth it.

I like the BSB a lot. Did you make the sword from plasticard?
That's silly! Playin with little statues, pretendin' they're fightin'! Why not just round up a bunch of real goblins and lettem' whack it out?

Please give me some tips on how in the heck you do that so nicely. I've tried a few times and the best I've done looks like dogshit on a stick.

Well it was the only blade i made out of plastycard so i dont have some precise recepy yet. :)

I guess the biggest trick there is not to be hasty, cuting only small parts. This way u have control over the shape most of the time.

Perhaps if you want i can make something like step by step tutorial posting it somewhere.

Oh not, he will finish a Lelith-BSB before I even have started it! :(

I mean: Yes, she fits very well especially in an army with a corsair theme (even when in second order). Is your's like this?
Although bare-feeted models are a new Dark Eldar style, not yet adopted by Dark Elves. Will you let her like this and just give another arm or are more conversions planned?

Lets call that guy i made this for Ted. So Ted wanted to change the banner for something more WitchElfy so i suggested icon i use for my WE (PHOTO) and he loved it. So that will be changed. The feet wont be changed since he dont want them to be changed and i dont mind it either since shes one crazy bad ass chick :D.

I would like to go for "Descendants of Khaine" army, secret police of Malekith. Black as the main color, red for details, red hand of khaine as the main symbol of the whole army and white runes on banners, shields, etc.
