-I played the CoC adventure in kairo - beautiful times...

Ok another update.. the sergeant is done, though I'm unsure on the leg banding. I wanted to show a sergeant without it screaming "OMG HERE I AM!!!11"
The bands are quite subtle but I fear they do not look as good as they could, and ideas?

So far.. I'm liking alot, I'm happy enough with them and have just two more to make a full legal squad of five. But here's a taster, three marines;

Nice marines!
Blue stripes are not a very good choice, though. They do not blend well with the rest of a mini.
I'd go for black knee-pads for sergeants,

agreed about the stripes
are You going to convert any kind of "pharao" lord or champion for these guys?

The blue stripes weren't the best choice. Other than that tyhe marines look pretty cool. Choosing such a color scheme was a bold move, but it seems it worked
And the freehand on the shoulderpad is so cool

Well the idea with the blue was that it's a colour assositaed alot with Egypt, it has been suggested that it be better pastil but I am unsure of how to get it there. Adding white just makes it a lighter, perhaps bleached bone?
Thanks for the comments though folks, I love them the idea I had behind them seems to be alright to pull it off. The colour scheme looks a little bland but the idea was to make them not stand out too much compared with some, so it's working. The freehand I'm proud of, even if it's not a consistant size and shape; that needs practice.
I am hoping to do conversions and such for them, mostly on characters and such; otherwise they'll be as they are. I do have an idea for the chapter master but.. that's a long way off. For when I get brave.

hehe Nice try.
The chapter master I have a great idea, just well I'm nowhere near the level needed to accomplish it and he's not important as such. This chapter is in for the long haul.. as in I aim to have about three companies before I am done with them [Two full companies, half of the first veterans and half of the tenth scouts].
