Very Very nice!
I'm always impressed by how well the Trenchers always come out. I really love those minis.
I agree - they have always been one of my favorite units. The minis are really eye catching and seem to paint up great. I've rarely seen a squad that didn't look good when finished - and I've seen all kinds of schemes for them.
There's a few others that are kind of like that - the old undead legionnaires, Free Marines, Blood Berets, the Hurricane Walker, Ashigaru, Deathbringer, Crimson Devils, Shock Troopers, Sacristans, Bio Giant, Blessed Legionnaires, Karnophages, all the Callistonians, the Sons of Rasputin and the Lutherans. It seems these are easy to paint nicely and look good in many colors and patterns. I found it very quick and easy to get them to look good, even with my limited ability.
Then there's the ones that have driven me crazy. I've stripped and redone them several times and NEVER gotten them to look right. These have been the bane of my existence when it comes to painting....
Wolfbanes. Yeah - I know, my favorites so maybe I'm being too picky. I've seen some painted BRILLIANTLY, but never gotten mine "right". I plan on giving them another try soon.
Templars of Ilian (and wheeled templars). Man I LOVE these guys...but I've never really seen any I liked painted. Maybe I don't like purples enough (and everyone paints them that way). I'd like to see a color sheme on these that just wows me.
Ronin - I've done these guys like 3 times...and still am not happy. They always look okay, but never "good" and they are some of my favorite minis. I like the look of Mishima, though they are probably the force I play least.
Chasseurs - I just can't paint these. I have no idea why. I even tried some REALLY simple schemes. No dice. Mine are teh suck.
Necromutants - I have never got these right either. Drives me crazy. I like just about everyone elses that I see...but have never gotten mine to look even decent. These SHOULD be easy...but not for me.
Brass Apocalypts - maybe it's the sculpt here - but I've never seen one I really like and mine are bland.
Scions of Ilian - don't like mine a bit. Should be easy, but I've never been happy with them.
Children of Ilian. Hate mine....just hate them. Headed into the pinesol.
Templars (Tribes) - just look bland.
Crescentians - Love the sculpts, but just have not been able to get them the way I like....excluding the Martyrs which I'm very happy with.
Any one else have suggestions on these - or some that have thwarted them?
