Interesting, but need better pics in order to see details.
i like your colors !! but like willmark said : better pictures !!
hey that is a cool army Thorne
These look promising, but the images are way too blurry and take ages to load!
i love the super big hat the beard look great
but i think you need to add a icon or something to break up the long grown
of arrmor
Your going to put a minni skrit of arrmor on them !!

now that 's   H O T
I think that the Boar centaurs are better proportioned than the horse based centaurs are.  I'll leave any other judgements until you can provide clearer pics.
Alright, looking at your new pics the Boar Centaurs definitely are better proportioned than the horse Centaurs.  

A couple of points:

a.  You may wish to fnd a less glossy varnish as it generally looks better on the finishsed product;
b.  Why are the beards of the Boar Centaurs the same colour as the armour?  They are not rigid looking, so I am presuming that they are not intended to represent a beard guard.  They should be in a more natural colour;
c.  The GS armour.  Try to make the scales of a more uniform size and to straightness so that the quality of your work comes through.

I like the look of your Boar Centaurs and look forward to seeing more of your work.
The barding looks good.  It is simple but seems fitting for a Bull Centaur.
Chainmail wouldn't work as well I don't think.
Nice colors !! i love your blunder buss guys
The Earthshaker is well sculpted and the crew looks pretty good.  

I like the "Black Dwarf" sorcerer - simple conversion.

The Grendel Warmachine is well done, and if it is not too bold of me, a simple and light drybrush with the metallic colour of your choice and you can call that giant/kollossus done...
My biggest comment is on your banners and shields - you should take some more time and really work on neatening up the designs to have straighter edges - the rounded and uneven appearance detracts from the overall look of your models.  A little more effort at this and the overall appearance will go up alot.  

My second comment would be to work on a more consistent look for the beards and scale armour.  The beards look flat on the front and would benefit from a more rounded look, so that they resemble curls, and the scales for the armour will look a million times better if you can get the scales the same size on the model (they can be different sizes or styles on different models, but should be consistent on the same model so that the quality of CD craftsmanship shows through).

Your work shows an excellent progression so far, and you have a consistent visual look - which goes a  long way towards making this a good looking army.

PS - what base model did you use for your Daemoneater - some sort of Self propelled AT gun?  What type/scale?
What did you use to make the Kollosus? Would you consider making one as a piece of commission work?

I love the daemoneater and kollosus: I think they are my two favourite models.

The nose of the great taurus is very cleaver: I believe it's a musician horn head from the dwarfs? Although, I think it might be a standard top piece from Lizardmen... For wings, you could try the balrog ones?
I'm curious about that tank. Can't seem to find anything like it. Which tank is it and what isn't stock?
You can bits order the balrog's wings from the GW website Wink

Thanks for the info Big Grin So, is Scotia Grendel a miniatures company or a toy makers or something else? (Not yet clicked the link, lol Big Grin )
The kollosus and deamoneater are way cool!  Good Job!Cheers!

Snowblizz the tank is called the Rapier Battle Tank, Catalouge number 20055 and can be found at Scotia grendle Raiper Battle tank its a 3 part resin kit that comes with sides with tracks and the main central part of it. I sadly their are no pictures shown of it but as a company they are very helpfull and emails are usualy answered in no more than half a hour during usual opening times.


Typical! I was thinking as much. I was curious to see if the "Chaos like" stuff on the sides were on the actual model, as I think, and not a conversion.

Yes tje chaos like star look on the sides is part of the actual model quite a great deal of the models have that detailing the ligthining bolt and star making it look appropriately chaos esque without any real work. Ill be the first to admit Im lazy and it just called out to me as chaos tank/chariot but not too much for warhammer and certainly too steam punk for warhammer 40K .


Too Steampunk? Really? I would have said it looks pretty perfect for Chaos in 40k. That's what I'd use it for anyway.

Wow that a great group on hobies  Are the archer warhammer figures ????
Well there like real hobies nasty and cheep
thanks  for the link  At first i thought you might of converted them from the old gw goblin archer
Just thinking out loud, but I think you might need a few more core units, not criticizing or anything, just pointing out what you already know - because I can.

I like the directional lighting on your first priest, nicely done.  

The greenish colour on the front of the lammasu rider - not so much.  Without an obvious source (and no green on the lammasu) it just looks like an accident with the paint pot occurred.
