This was an interesting batch. Since they were using the same color scheme I jumped from one to the next. I ignored the bases as I plan to pick up some base materials to fancy them up. Overall I thought they came out "okay". No better or worse than painted WizKids minis IMO. They have some nice detail that I need magnification to see (What do we have here? Greaves? Sabatons? We're painting it all black and calling them black leather boots. Next!) I feel like one of the metallics I used (currently my only non-Speedpaint) is too shiny. And then the red I used, I dunno, I feel I need to go with a lighter shade to contrast with the orange skin and black highlights. Good news is I have quite a few more of these; similar to the phase spiders, I bought quite a few hobgoblins with a specific campaign in mind (expanding on Heroes of the Borderlands in Greyhawk.)[ATTACH=full]427575[/ATTACH]Different view with the minis rotated to show off their shields.[ATTACH=full]427576[/ATTACH]Another Nolzur phase spider, painted in a brown scheme. For those not familiar, Nolzur's come pre-primed in a Vallejo light grey. I re-primed this one in black and drybrushed white over it as I'd originally intended to try a black widow inspired color scheme.</blockquote>
