Frogonia troops (Princess Romina and more)

[Damien]

Hi princess, I second DeafNala's suggestion about the eyes and show us those shields (even if they are WIP).

Pics of the shields are now on my blog, but here's a sneak peek. Pics of the froggies with new shields will also be up soon - having technical difficulties (my phone ran out of battery and the pics are on it)

Will put up some more pics with the hammerers soon, too, once I've fixed up the eyes!

And here are the second lot of pics!

I love the buttonshields, much better then the turtle shell shields.

[Damien]

Great paint jobs and love those buttons! I really like that you are using hex bases, they add a lot of character to the minis.

Although I'm rather fond of the Turtle Shell Shields, the Buttons are an attractive alternative...a bit of diversity is always pleasant. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback! I took DeafNala's advice re: the white dots and also did a dark rim around the eyes as per Christian's suggestion. You can see the finished froggies on my blog.

Here are some pics after I did the eye touch-ups:

And here are some jungle shots!

I also posted these same pics on the Battle of Frogonia blog (we originally started it to post progress pics and battle reports -- they will exist in the not-so-distant future, I promise!). I was just having a quick browse and saw the original progress pics for these little guys. I must say I am very happy with the results, if I do say so myself -- it is so good to see the raw metal figs and compare them to the finished ones! So happy to have finally finished a unit of something! (Well, two, if you split them into pike-frogs and hammerers.)

Here is the link to the BoF blog:

Hope you like them!

CONGRATULATIONS on completing the unit(s)...great feeling isn't it?! Having them done AND looking THAT GOOD is a really plus. The lush scenery is a FANTASTIC background for your creations. GREAT WORK!

I think the Little Frogs would work well with my Spooky Woods Project. SO I guess I'll be painting up the Frog Riders I have & perhaps getting some Fellows on (webbed) foot.

[Damien]

Yes!! The eyes look fantastic! I also downloaded your second pic (the one with all the amazing plant terrain) and am using it as my background. Loving this thread.


Cheers,

Thanks DeafNala! Really appreciate the feedback. Would be great to see how you go with the Frog Riders - be sure to post up some pics when they're done! Are they the ones from Eureka Miniatures? An interesting addition to a "cavalry" army might be the Turtle Tank they have, if you're after other creatures (http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_191&products_id=11349).

Haha that's great, I'm glad you like them thanks for all the positive comments!
