Thanks for the feedback guys  :)

Although the next addition to this project has taken me a little longer to get finished than I had hoped, I do like how these ladies worked out.



The figures are GW Dryads with a few GW Tyranid elements added.  I also added some resin bugs (intended for miniature basing) to various parts of the model, the idea being that they represent some sort of symbiotic/parasitic technology substitute, like Sectaurs.  Importantly it also conceptually ties these models in with the Hasslefree Sleiti/Ieuan model that has been the main project catalyst.







More info and images on my blog.

Those tyranid bits fit well. Cool painting as usual.

Ingenious and gorgeously painted.

Beautiful.

Concept, conversion, painting - all wonderful. Is it just me, or in the last year or two have you been developing a higher contrast style (I mean more contrast in the highlighting/shading)? I only ask because these models in particular really "pop" - and there's a richness of colour too, which makes them very easy to look at. Superb work, in any case.

As always, looking forward to what's next.

Excellent project.  The Dryads are superb.  Extra points for referencing Sectaurs.  I still have all the comics!

The mere concept is pure genius, but the execution is even better. Oh, man, what a work!

Very nice work on those. The conversions work really well. I had completely forgotten about sectaurs. I still have one of those toys lying around somewhere I think.
