pretty decent paint jobs all round, but a bit more variety in hair colour would have been more interesting to look at, more fun to paint and easier to tell who had which skills once they get going...
only the Slayers should have REALLY ginger hair... my Longbeards all have black, brown, grey or white hair... my Blitzers and Runners are blond because they are younger..
just my $0.02

Nice, clean, solid paint job. I like the colour scheme, too, though I agree that more varity in hair colour would have been nice. I try to mix it up on my dwarves (and I have two teams) and as Norse said, I only give my slayers orange/red hair. Although, on my current team, the slayers hair will be in team colours.
Over all nice.

I echo the prior comments, and would also add a very minor criticism - use an Xacto knife to clean up the flack on the bases

more picts of the diorama, please ! I´m always interested in this things...it is 40k diarama that i'm working on.
There is nothing in his left hand ? Just convert or put a nice hammer in his hand and its clear, he is a runesmithI was going to use the "Coach" as a Runesmith but Hmmmm

Yep, thats one way. Or a very fine brush to add some very fine line on top.
I prefer inks from GW as there are no inks from Vallejo gamecolors ( or i dont knew about them ) If you let the watered brown inks sink into the deeps , than drybrush (very dry) with your basecolor you painted your mask again and than drybrush it again with shinny gold or silver ( kind of personal taste ) ... could be a nice effect. Similar to use with other metal stuff like helmets, runes,...Am i better buying inks or letting down and mixing other colours i have?
Thats just a way, i would do this... not a general rule !!!

A good method for slightly tarnished bronze is the following, letting each step dry before the next one:
1. Dark gold or, better, gold mixed with bronze
2. GW Chestnut Ink
3. GW Flesh Wash mixed with a little goblin green
4. Drybrush carefully with dark gold
5. GW Chestnut ink again
6. Final highlights in gold.

Nice paint jobs.

[size=75]The short answer is "no", but it is a qualified "no" because there are odd ways of interpreting the question which could justify the answer "yes".[/size]
