Well I like them The armour is simply Chaos Black with chainmailed edges isn't it? looks fantastic for core troops.
Just one thing you might want to thing about another colour for the leathery staff on the spears - a redish kind of brown like teracotta or dark flesh would go well with the blueish style I think.

Please excuse my poor English. I just put it here so I don't have to write it every single time I post something

Hello!
I thought I was going to post some pics on my corsair
I know the banner looks like the symbol from jurassic park, mortal combat or thunder cats...but I seriusly didn't notice that after I was done with it xD
The standard
the cloak
soo hope you liked them the corsairs where painfull to paint due to their pointy weaponds and armor, don't know how many times I have stabbed my fingers on these minis...so I have bled alot for this unit I wonder if others have had the same problems or am I just clumsy?
well pls comment and have a nice day/night
see ya!

I had the same problems painting corsairs mate .
I love your army, can't believe these are your first mini's! There is only one thing I dislike about your army and that is the black armour with sharp highlight. I know, I know, I'm probably one of the few to think so, if you like it then keep it. Your painting style is very neat (apart from the armour highlgihting which is to thick), and the bases look great.
Would love to see more!

Just a quick question...
Do you water down your paints? Some of the areas look a little thick here and there - its only really noticeable on banners etc, but it will really improve the smoothness of the covering just by adding a bit of water.
Other than that, great scheme. I really like the look of it.
I'm waiting for more!

I really love the sorceress! She looks wicked! Your boyfriend wan't just being nice . The bolt thrower isn't bad too, but not as good as the sorceress.
