Here are my latest Helldorado minis, this time less washing and more wetblending, which went quite fast thanks to my new PP and Foundation paints and also looks better on big, clean and bright cloth areas. Still Tabletop quality though.
Enjoy!  ;D

These look great. Your color choice is to my liking (colors that pop), although the teal could be toned down a bit--but it certainly doesn't detract from the overall impression of the miniatures. I like that your skin colors reflect their ethnicity, reminding me of skin tones I've seen on Mediterraneans or peoples from North African countries, rather than the other Saracens I've seen that have skin tones resembling Europeans originating from, say, Scandinavian countries. 

The bases are a good contrast to the brighter colors on the figures, and they clearly show these guys are journeying in Hell.   

I see you've been bitten by the P3 and GW Foundation bugs as well. I'm enjoying them as well.

I like these Saracens. Great work!

I look forward to killing them with my Demons some time in the next month or two (your buyer is my HD gaming partner).

Im liking the look of your saracens. Very nicely blended. Hope you enjoyed the painting experience!

I agree, your skintones rock.  If you don't mind sharing, which paints did you use for those (I've got the full P3 line)?

Thanks for the comments!

The skintone is a base of Iridian flesh, highlighted through Midlund flesh up to Menoth White Base and shaded/glazed with Burnt Umber (artist's acrylics).

The dark skin is Iridian flesh mixed with Black and highlighted up to pure Iridian Flesh.

Thanks, I'll be trying something similar to that myself, in a week or two.  ;)

I took 10-20h per box set so far, the sarrasins were something around 15h I think.
