I know the models are not as good as they could be, I haven't learned to use highlights yet.

My mate asked if he could fiddle with the banner, I knew he had a pretty good freestyle, but I was amazed when I saw the results.

Due to the size of the pictures, I hope a url link is acceptable.

I hope to get a proper camera, taking pictures with the phone quality really isn't optimal.

Good stuff. Very clean.

You can put the photos directly in your post:

I do think that the purple would benefit from some highlighting.

yeah, I had done that to start with, then I noticed some of the pictures are easily 600kb large, and the rules did say 256kb, so I put it in a url to make it easier.

Really like the de-saturated tone of the basing; very nice compliment to the purple. The lighting in the photo of the unit is a little harsh, as you allude to, but - damn - it makes the blood effect on the swords look absolutely awesome.

They look great. I esoecially love the armour, the colours make it look different from most models I have seen and very menacing. Maybe it's because it feels quite dark and rather realistic? And I think these are the first models where I don't hate their helmets, so great job!
