I have these figures and I reckon they are pretty good but you have taken them to a new.level..

The BTD guys should.pay to use your.pictures they would double their sales!😁

Indeed!  Curious how many manufacturers overlook the obvious benefit to their sales of expertly painted minis. 

BTW these are excellent!

They look great! I really hated those figures based on the pictures on the BTD website but you've really shown what can be done with them  :D

Excellent Shaun. You've really nailed the field grey. Just the right muddy grey-green shade :)
That rubble-like basing mix is very effective too. What is it?

Is the guy kneeling bottom right in the last picture meant to be boss-eyed though? lol

Love them.
I really like the early stuff BTD did.
Have lots.
Some of their later stuff is hit and miss.

if you zoom in it's just a trick of the light ;-)

rubble is a big mixture of various shades & sizes of Woodland Scenics scatter plus a load of pigments and other bits all sloshed together, to create a mix I don't have to paint ;-)

Indeed. Or in the case of so many American manufacturers, even the inclusion of any photos seem to be beyond them.

Fairly sure a trained monkey could paint as well as you and wouldn’t be anywhere as needy.
Ok I suppose you old paint slapper :D

The BTD Germans have such little feet though...
