So you're going NMM for the entire force? Good luck ;)

There's a chip of blue paint missing at the bottom edge of the loincloth, right?
Count them:

Painted in 2013: 500
Painted in 2014: 600
Painted in 2015: 854

Looking good. I assume you are going to do more with the bases -- how are you going to finish them?

well... I was thinking about snow (baking soda one) and water effect ... but I`m thinking - If i decide to go snow , edges of the bases need to black (for good contrast) but maybe I can keep them brown - will see how it turns . As a reserve I can always use static grass

While I love the paintjobs, there's something... odd... about the sorceress. Like she's chewing on something.

I really like how the blue stands out on those miniatures. Xbows are a bit "plain" when it comes to colour possibilities (lots of metal and not much more really) but that blue make them really nice :)

Really nice colour scheme! The Jade/ Turqoise is #Super Effective#.

Is not something i would ever have thought of but gives a really good contrast against the black and silver. As it's such a strong colour i think the army will have a really cohesive look and I can't wait to see it all together when you are done!

Fantastic colour, you don't have any problems there. My only issue is the hand swap on the assassin. I certainly prefer that corsair dagger as opposed to the original, but imho it looks unnatural and awkward to me. If you stand up and try to mimic that position, having the dagger's edge face the other way would be infinitely more effective. Not sure if even that will fix the supposed "awkwardness," then again it could just be my imagination.

well - dagger is supposed to be stabby - hence the different side. it also corresponds with overall silouetthe of mini... but I could be wrong

nice overall effect,the dagger could be mistaken as a bit awkward...but he is an assassin afterall and could have just flipped the dagger ready for a throw,reverse slice or just preparing to block a strike even -He gets a thumbs up from me for being original 8) sorceress looks good and i like the turquoise color choice,it really *pops* on the assassin.
as stated earlier the X-Bows could do with perhaps a metal color on either the prod or the bolts magazine but otherwise lookin good!.
im really looking forward to seeing more work from you,keep it up!
cheers Mithril :D
