Nice work Froggy!

I'm always a fan of your conversion work.  :-*

I did all the darklining for the riders today, but it's the sort of thing that looks awful till it's been cleaned up in subsequent layers so I didn't take any pictures.
You, sir, are not allowed to attempt a takeover of the solar system until your octopus sobers up.

I finished the skintones and the eyes.  Next up is probably the weapons and the hair, since all that off-white leather is annoying.



...and of course I see mistakes I need to fix, only AFTER I've taken the picture.

But of course. The camera is much, much less forgiving than the eye!

Those are turning out great, mistakes that only you notice notwithstanding. Very creative posing and reuse of figures.

That's alright Froggy. At least this is a WIP pic. I painted a whole unit of Tigermen for my Chinese army, used them in a convention battle. Then when looking at the pictures from the convention realized I hadn't striped the sleeve on the standerd bearer figure.

Here's today's update - weapons, hair, and metallics are done.



Next up are probably the saddles and tack.

Aaright, got them done over lunch...but I'm going to use these ten figures for two LPL teams so you can't see them yet.

This is very helpful as i am planning a conversion of GZG Kravak riders with Brigade (former i-Kore) Celtos blood reaver mounts, and the leg pose and saddle have been exercising my mind. Love this combination for VSF!

 :o A tremendous work of skill (and dedication!). Unfortunately, very few are that gifted, so the potential of the Andromedans is drastically limited by Reaper's policy of making 'characters' and no 'troops': too bad for most of us.

Cythereans maidens? Thus I suppose promiscuous Earthling adventurers and soldiers are threatened by Cytherean diseases? :D
