Since we're sharing our painted dudes (and ladies!), here's my family portrait. An alternative colour scheme I created for my Makauls (tried to make them look more menacing with red&black tones) And my pride and joy -- miss Saatar You can find a bit more poses in my shared album
I misspoke earlier, I do have ever Tohaa figure but I have to only paint two models the Jager and the spitfire version of Neema Saatar. So, that is only two figures that need painting, For the record I don't like the new Neema model, but every thing else is done, will take pic's later.
Noooooo! I just finished painting a Makaul. Funny how Tohaa supposed to be the most OP faction ever, still nobody plays it, so it doesn't need new releases, and some people even think it will be removed from the game.

Adequate lighting is a must for taking good shots. You have a lot of grain on your pictures, which means your camera tries to raise the ISO level to be able to 'see' in such dim light, and that always means more grain and less details. Too much lighting (like when using the built-in flash) is also bad, as all light-coloured spots will reflect too much light than needed, and instead of nice highlights and colours and you will see just big bright blobs. Also, use cool (~4000 K) or daylight (5000..6000 K), not warm (~3000 K) bulbs/LEDs. Warm light shifts all the colours towards yellow, and everything you see becomes yellowish. This advice also stands for painting.
What I found, that sometimes the light my lamps emit leave stripes on the pic, but if I move the minis and the camera bit away from the lamps, then those stripes of light/dark area magically go away. Like on the pics above the lamps were half a meter (3.45 potatoes for 'muricans) away. On earlier pics, where the lamps were like 20 cms, the stripes were there.
