Clean, simple paint jobs. Not much to comment, because I think those suit well gaming purposes :)

ok then, I have an exercise for you.
bigger flat surfaces on your models look... well... flat :) you have a tendency to highlight edges only. this may look good on armour or fur, not that so on flesh. Look at wargs' heads - you have a base colour and strong lines as highlights only. So, try to paint shadows and highlights, with a smooth transition between them :) layering, wet-blending, glazing, feathering... there are many techniques you could use.

Thanks, this is what I was looking/hoping for. I've done the exercise on my next model using the layering (shading) technique, you can see the result in the wip thread: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=8709&p=169213#p169213.
I'm also going to try it on two wargs to see the difference.

Now I've done the exercise on my other three wargs, you can see the result in the wip thread:

I finished painting the Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs. I really like the miniatures, they have a lot expression, were fun to paint. Any C&C are welcome.

rider no. 3 is the best - all the details are clear, you've build up that 3d impression.
