So these are my first couple of figures I tried to Paint
Image
These are some more, I wanted all my orcs to look a bit different, I am mostly using Testors brand paints.
Image
Here are all my orcs done, note the disney figures will not be added to my board game upgrades :P
Image
My goblins
Image
And one of the skellys, Note since this I have add a better brown wash to darken the bones and fill the cracks

Anyway I would love to know what you think, I was told my painting style is rather cartoonish but I like it.. anyway tips or criticisms, I am working on painting all my figures and I have been buying warhammer figures to fill in gaps, for some of the other expansions.

They look nice, a clean paintjob. Well done. I'd suggest adding some wash on them, to accentuate the recesses and add some shading. It's easy to apply, and makes your minis more realistic :)

been researching more on how to do that, I may do that to all my figures after I finish them all..

Yep, nice tidy paint work there.
I agree they would benefit from a wash or dip, but most definitely much better like this than bare plastic.

Those bloody Testors paints. They used to have actually FLAT colors like they labelled. But now it seems that even the flat colors are enameled to some extent. I don't know what the hell to use to try and make brown leather gloves on the Mercenaries.

Yeah I do know what you mean about the browns at least I did go out and get some scorched brown citadel paint.
