I gotta say the horses are the only thing I really LOVE actually... not true about the dip not working on it I think ^^
they look great!
Also like the gongs! Hoping to see an army in good colors one day painted by you, because you are really skilled and I like your work! Nice job on the freehand on the banner!

Nice peggy you got there Lord_Azoth! Interesting colours, but really cool :P .
And those BG gongers are cool too, not as cool as your Banner though, I love the banner!

Interesting colours but not really keen on the pink mane, it makes it look like a "my little pony"

very nice job! My only objection is that I think you have based this mini on the wrong size base! are you sure a Dark Pegasus goes on a cavalry base?

Hi all again, and thanks for your kind comments..
As the pinnacle of this PLOG, the group photos..they are a bit ..bad..but my skills and the camera are not the best. I used camera flash due to the poor light in the room...

I'm still not a fan of purple skin and I like alot more in the way of shading and highlighting, even still the finished product is impressive and you should be proud. Good job

This is a great army, my compliments :)

I would never said I'd tell this of an army I do not like colours, most of the miniatures and I hate dipping.... this is only a way to tell you how much I like what you've done ;)

Greatest ups:

Basing, really effective and full of character.
Gongs, they are ace. One of the best ideas ever...
Sorceress on pegasus, great mini. I do not know the brand.....
Hydra, great improvement of the old hydra and great idea for the column...
The blind guy among the cold one knights, the only cold one knigt mini a like in the range of miniatures you've chosen.

Bassman

Your basing is excellent and your painting skills are good. But your colour choice makes this one of the most unattractive armies I've ever seen. Despite the different models used, the conversions, and the effort that went into this, the colour palette is so bad I'm afraid this project gets a thumbs down from me. Sorry =(
