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.
and here's the first bloodcrusher / herald on jugger















and a group shot of the different kinds of units I'll be fielding.

I'll also be trying out the basing this weekend on a spare base ;), but I'll base them once the entire army is painted as I want to do them production-line :P

Suggestion; Make the fangs on the jugger silver to match the rest of the metal working bits.  Its not a creature with any bones after all.
I think of them like the hellcannon - metal fused with some sort of daemonic being. The mouth is one of the only places where you can actually see it, and that's why I painted the teeth like actual teeth ;)

I've decided to rehaul my flesh hounds scheme - they just didn't look evil enough  :). Here's the new scheme - black instead of the blue.

Better.  I didn't really like the blue.
I tried out different basings, but I finally decided on a simple rocky one, because the army looks red enough as it is, and adding blood or lava to the base made it even more red - a friend of mine has named the army "the angry tomatoes" already  :lol: . This will be the basing I'll be using throughout my entire army.

A little boring perhaps, but it looks good. :D

I like the basing, but the Bletter itself... If you're changing the blue on your flesh hounds to black, might you not want to do it to the Bloodletters aswell?

I like the bases.
If you're going to tournaments with this army, a little yellow static grass ( as it is too dry) would give you 1-2 points extra for painting

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 blue looks good on the bloodletters, so I won't be changing it ;)

it seems I haven't added any of pics of my BT here now that he's been based and varnished, so here he is:















I might add something more to his base later on, but I'm happy with its simplicity for the time being.

Great Job! as for the base maybe you could have a pile of skulls?

You did a good job for such a hideous model!

I just had to notice... why the hell is he wearing a chain thong? *shudders
You're too observant ;) :lol:
