Parriah, your photography has really improved since the last round, nice job on these models! Thantsants, great slaves but I especially love the Slann.

Agree with Pil on all accounts! Good job both of you! The albino looking slann in the middle is the best one!

Cheers fellas - I wanted the slave master to look a bit more sinisterand salamandery (is that a word?!) but he was a bugger to paint and photograph!

Congrats on your improved photography Parriah - nice job on 2nd Squad - best of luck!  :)

I figured that as they were Aztec style frogmen that some poison-dart frog style markings wouldn't go amiss. :D

I really like the way he made the bases look like they were part of the floor. And they look like they were in combat!
