Excuse the first huge post.  

Here is the progress on my army.  You can first see the brutes, then the ardboyz, then the gruntaz and dragon.

I had them on green bases to be oldschool.  But I am an artist and could not bear to do something that makes no sense, even for nostalgia.  Bases must be a neutral color.  I went with meadow bases.  The flowers tie the army together.

I do not like the shields on the ardboyz.  They are too small.  So I attached the shields to the ardboyz faces instead of the hand.

The megaboss is called Rustfoot Facekicker.  The brute boss is called Bonetaker.

I am happy that I have models up to tabletop standard on my first try.  I am getting faster at painting, understanding the behaviors of the various paints, learning new skills, and doing some conversions.  I have tried new skills like wet blending and glazing and am starting to understand.
