That dragon is awsome! The only thing I would change is to add penants to the spear. The other minis look nice exept the beastmaster on manticore...

Yea the Manticore truly is a WIP, still not repainted, It was put up as a comparison both for your sake and mine :P . It will probably be the next thing to be done.

Like the execs, but they look disturbingly similar to the 'Eavy Metal team's execs. Maybe vary them a bit, or work some other interesting colour in.
One thing: your champion has purple on his faceguard. Otherwise, they're absolutely...beautiful would be the wrong word....EVIL!!!

They look playable at least. You do a better job at faces than me.

I like your style. Your Highborn dragon is awesome! How long did it take you to have it like this?

Your charriot isn't bad eighter ;) I've tried to paint my Cold Ones similair but I just havent got the right contrast between the light and the dark colours... Have you done that by drybrushing or painting the scales one by one?

I like the look you're going for. Some said you should change it as it looks like the 'Eavy Metal teams scheme, i say go for it! There is a reason they chose that scheme in the first place :)

I am stealing your dragon's scheme for my own as well, lol.

Thanks for the compliments guys :)

@Lord Temnir, For the cold ones I used midnight blue drybrushed with space wolves grey with the new purple wash over the top then lightly drybrushed the scales running up along the back with bleached bone.

@Joyous_Oblivion, Steal the idea by all means, I have taken the idea from http://uk.games-workshop.com/highelves/dragons/3/ but made changes to suit me so most of the credit goes to Adam Grey.

I will post some pictures of my repainted Manticore tomorrow if it isnt too dark to get some good photos ;)
