These guys look great, and I agree with @mikedemana, that blue skin really does stand out! In fact, your use of a few very bright colors to pick out little things across the group is really good. Great work!

I have that old "bone armor" guy in a deteriorating blisterpack somewhere, and I don't think I've seen the armor done as metal before, which I really like! I think the only reason he has stayed in the blister so long is that all my other chaos warriors are in a similar dark silver/metallic color scheme and I never thought of just making that guy match. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have a YouTube and so can you!

Looks stunning V! What a force to table, I'd spend the whole day picking them up and admiring one by one and never get to the rolling dice part :)

Cheers

Wonderful collection! Your painting is really great, and some of your minis will be an unvaluable source of inspiration, for I have some of them for years and needed proper color schemes. Thank you!

C26 Men-at-Arms from 1984 (that later became the Foundry War of the Roses range), another C26 Men-at-Arms but fron the initial slottabase release in 1985 and termed ‘Retainer’ and lastly Maximillian the Brave from the 1987 F2 Fighters range.

Because you can never have too many Skeleton warriors!

Two are from the 1987 C17 Skeleton releases - 'Murderer' and 'Captain'. 

The third chap, with the beastman like skull, is 'Longhorn' from the chariot in the MD8 Skeleton War Machines boxset.

Great job, as always! I like the colours you chose for both figures, nice and subtle.
