Many thanks, they are fantastic.
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

As far as I remember are they all conversions with different GW parts (Zombieheads/-hands, Chaosdogs, Chaosspawn etc.)

There are a lot of things GW doesn't do to well, but horribly mutated gory fests aren't one of those. (Com can give you some nice perspective on the scale of those zombies tough)

Saw these in the flesh, so to speak, at FIASCO this weekend - lovely miniatures, that i'd strongly recommend - have just picked up a platoon myself.

And here's another one who couldn't resist - pretty nice figures, indeed! I'm not quite sure, though, if I shall use the "Ice Station Zebra" look of all-white, or go with a combination of white parkas and winter-camouflaged pants, to add some visual interest.

Very pale grey or tan might also be an option… ;)

 Looking forward to seeing more of them painted up.Would be nice to see some done using the Vallhallan paint scheme.They could be cold climate troop's on other planets too.

 It was great to be-able to show painted versions off.

 Nice to get feedback on the other miniatures too.Lots of positive feedback on the sculpts and the paint work.A big thank's goes out to all the painters that have breathed life into the little guy's and girls'.

I really like the sculpts.  The flame-thrower (?) could use a cowling like the more recent GW one but that's easy to add if desired and the figure is hardly lacking anything. 

One thing about the painting - I would love to see lighter gray/tan drybrushing with a little more contrast on the fur instead of the greenish that seems to match the webbing.  Not to nitpick, just that fur is rarely that color green.  I think that a slight tweak to that would look awesome - especially for your advertising models.

I'll be saving up for this - I really like.
