New 15mm figures painted

I received an order of Splintered Light miniatures from the Dungeon crawl and RPG series. Some nice undead figures I've been lacking - ghosts, wights, some decent vampires, and also some 15mm player character figs - MU's, thieves, ranger types and some pretty good fighting men.
After primering I did a black line shading then a white highlight both with vallejo airbrush paints (They work great with a regular brush).
Then I did the coloring with the amsterdam inks. I'm thinking this method works better on the 15mm figs than trying to shade with just inks. The subtlety of ink shading is just not noticeable on that small of a figure, at least to my eyes.
Probably use these for a Ranger type character.


Witch hunter and a vampire.

I like this figure for a main antagonist so much I already named him (Fell Helm). Definitely has that "Final Boss" look to him. It measures out at 21mm but is well proportioned and will work great for an evil Superhero or Necromancer. So far the mini has been primered, shaded with black, and block highlited with white. I want to do a dark grey for the main cloak color but I'm unsure if that will wipe out the shading. May have to do a dark red.
