For the brief time I was there, I was amazed at how many belt buckles some people managed to fit onto their outfits. Anime is real.
Looks like a lightning charged sword. Pretty good for a first try and you'll get better at it as time goes on.
I suggest painting the bases a different color than your primary army color so the models pop off the base instead of blending into it.
I fully agree. Green bases bring up my memories from 5th edition WFB ;) A time, where nobody could paint :D Nice progress, try switching the bases to black or sth, should help make them feel more 'realistic' and less cartoony.
