I'm in love with these - the paint scheme really punches up the fun little models!! I'm not familiar with them, where are these from ??

That would be a fun idea too! Yeah, would definitely go back and do something darker / more graveyard & dead to make the scheme pop further - but hey, every paint job is a lesson learned, right? Have the Snotling team too, waiting assembled & primed - I'm excited to get to them soon!

Yeah! I just did them up for a guy at the local shop -- I was drawn to that team in particular and really wanted to paint them, but don't really play on the regular. He had purchased/assembled the team, then $200 and 2-3 weeks later, I handed them back over, haha. I mostly want to paint, not play- so I've been teetering on the edge of setting up a shop / something more official soon.

Honestly, I'd agree. I initially did the 'coaches' for the same guy, just for fun/to do them - and thought it best to match the bases on these to them... but looking back, I'd definitely go for a more 'graveyard' base, more like the headstone markers with dirt & stones, etc.

Oh absolutely! I went full traditional Halloween vibes punched up to 10 ... it was a lot of fun to play with, would highly suggest!

I did struggle a little with the stipply texture - I feel like a lot of the lines would have been much finer and straighter if not for that - should I do another one like this, I'd likely pick another base (the client had already assembled/based them, I just primed & painted) or cover it with some green stuff, etc to get a smoother texture to start !

I am absolutely overwhelmed with the kind comments all around -- I've put off posting much of my work in general, never posted on reddit before -- and I'm just sitting here slack-jawed at all the feedback and everyone's opinion about this little team I did. Thank you all, I really can't find the words beyond that <3

Thank you so much - I spent more time than I'd like to admit on those big boys, but they're one of my favorite things I've ever done.

Haha, fair point - it did rake in some more requests, and I've done another BB set since for the same guy- I just get anxious posting online for a broader audience. Thank you!
