yes yes, I've read the comments during my hollidays and have been taking them in consideration even if I've been too lazy to post so far

To be honest, I don't like the armour parts at this miniatures. The edges are not sharp and that is why they look a bit chunky to me. (straight in comparison to your goblins)
Further the faces of the beastmen are (in my opinion) too cute. Maybe they would look better rough around the edges.
If these points are the WIP-part you spoken to, the offered criticism is sure indiffernt.
I'm a bit surprised by the armor comment and the comparaison with the goblins as with the greens in hand they are just as sharp, maybe it's the rounded shape which give this feeling on the pics?
however it's true that the armor parts aren't perfectly sharp (well, not as sharp as I could do if required anyway), but that was on purpose (as they are on the goblins, and even more on orcs, though it may be too much on them). I wanted them to look as if they were made from metal scrap found in a post apocalyptic world, not very well reworked into armor, and used in many fights (er... matches!). I think it make them more "alive" too...
I'd be intersted to hear what peoples think about armor parts, especialy if they have the orcs and goblins, as it something I've been thinking about with the other figures as well and discussed with NX painter (who liked the orc armor as they are)
would you prefer smooth and sharp armor parts rather than damaged, with paint chipping, etc? (on such evil teams of course, for elves or dwarves sharp is certainly a lot better
)
bestmen heads: yes, they were meant to be reworked to look more evil
I also agree with the comment of goat heads beeing overdone, and that why I did human heads with horns as another option, as I think it also work better as post-apo mutants (but of course we also wanted traditionnal beastmen heads for the purist
)
anyway with the multipart system we can make a lot of options so everybody could have a different team (and hopefully something they like!)
looking back at the pics after all the time they don't look very good, next time I'll try to do better pics and give a better feel of the CP thematic, which doesn't really appear here
