I like Skjirdo's pikachu up the top there! :nod: :p Otherwise your models look great! The only thing I noticed that I would change was the horses' eyes. They just seemed a bit big, and bluntly blue, but I know eyes are hard :sexy: :) Keep up with the good work!

Skjirdo is the 5th edition spellsinger (well duh!), but I didn't like the heart on the staff (im Woodelf not GAY(high) Elf), and the dagger seemed to little :) So dryad and gladeguard bits and it is as it is now

Use thinned glue (or better some that cures out not white but clear as glass) and attach flock on it - I've used this to some good extend. After it's sprayed, you can even drybrush the flock carefully to get some more colour into it ( e.g. what I like to use is a dark green flock that becomes drybrushed with bubonic brown, a timid yellow tone after it's sprayed - the reason to brush after spraying is that the flock else will fall apart too easily).
Hope this helps a bit :)
