Competition painting: Thug

My first effort at improving my painting (and photography to be fair) this year:

Produced for the Warhammer Forum's ongoing painting competition, this months challenge was to paint a classic model (from before 2000 and one that is no longer in production).

A rummage in the bits box threw up this oddity in my collection, a Chaos Thug.  Ideal material I thought.  I took the time to rebase him on some slate and threw a variety of little extras at the painting.

I am under no illusions, I will not be winning anything, but it looks pretty good to me...
