Now all we need is the 7th edition rule that said if the models are killed they don't get to fight and we WOULD be a broken army! lol

The Cynocephali were a race of dog headed men whose origin seems to come from somewhere between India and Thailand.
Apparently St Christopher was a Cynocephali who abhored his savage people and prayed to God to be given the gift of human speech. Thereafter he was able to preach the word of God.

If you want some tips to improve that particular drawing I would increase the contrast, there are lots of areas that could be darkened up and in shadow to create a more dramatic effect. The composition is good but a background to tie these three figures in and shout the word "chaos warriors of the dark gods!!!!!" would also further improve it. At the moment it is just saying "here's three mean looking warriors" to me. If you want some general comments about improvements I wouldnt be able to offer any as i havent seen any of your older drawings (gi' us a link mate!), tips in general I will echo the sentiments of an excellent local artist who's studio I was lucky enough to look around "it's just practice, do it all the time" thats all he said when i was blown away by his oils, sketches and sculptures and I asked him how to improve.  I guess to add to that advice you would need to be focussed on doing it all the time right of course! Getting it right comes form good observation and to get awesome I guess you would need a fantastic imagination and that little elusive spark of artistic genius which blesses the lucky few. I think painting and sculpting warhammer stuff should allow your drawing skills to get better as well. I look forward to putting pen to paper one day after I have mastered painting good quality minis and turning some good stuff out myself.

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.
I thought that TMD's was good, as it reminded me of DBZ's Mr Popo.
Winbears was fantastic, but there was less of an ogre theme to it, and also I just plain don't like him. (No offense, your beariness.)
In the end, BB was just badass, the whole Chaos theme and the spectacular detail.
