can't add muc more than has already been said, lovely stuff. I never get bored seeing different versions of these figures. I think they are amongst the best work Copplestone has done.

Thanks alot for your kind words.

I think his DA Minatures have so much Character,they're really marvelous.It's really a pity that it took me so long to get them started :`

Darkest Africa's just about my favourite range too.

I'm glad you like them :D

@ De'Ath
Well, I start with Bay Brown Shade (Foundry) to get a really daaark shade and then I use Dusky Flesh Shade (also Foundry) as the main colour,light it up with some Dusky Flesh to get areas stand out like muscles,bald heads,bellies and so on-but with some caution.And for the final highlights I take Dusky Flesh light.
