bases, bases... even if these are gaming pieces, they still need something on their bases :)
as for painting - why don't you try darklining and highlighting edges? this would be rather quick and easy way to improve their look (especially on the gaming table).

What he said: lack of bases done is just SO distracting...
Apart from that - if you don't feel like darklining and highlighting edges you could at least apply some washes to create shadows here and there: it should also make the models look more eyecatching :)

I think it's my lack of great photography talent that the shaows don't appear.I used washes and lining.

Wel here is somthing totally different. i painted this army up for a friend of my. The deal was that I painted it so it would look nice from a distance (like on the picture.) The more special guys got some extra attention. But it's all fairly low gamer standard. But he was on a very strict budget so we compromised. Not evrything is based, because my friend is doing that himself. I really like how this paint scheme worked out. It's very striking in my opinion. Sorry the photo is a bit of a mess, didn't take it myself, but I liked to showcase this because i painted 3000 to 3500 points of skeletons. Annoyingly brittle skeletons:

they look good as a group :)
my only remark would be the big monster thing, which could be the army centrepiece, but is dark and not as eye-catching. some lighter elements would be a good choice for that model, I think

Isee what uyou mean, I made a choice. The color of his 'skin' is the same as his terrain. So it's like a statue from that terrain came alive. It's quite a large part of the model, so get's muted very easily.

Well, here's my finished Festus, painted to the best of my current capabilities. Tough I need better photo-skills as well:

Sorry to say that but it's definitely way too messy. Nothing stands out, nothing pops.

Really it is very hard to judge for me what is on that picture, as Hellspawn said - way too messy. I think you need to work on clean painting.
