Circle of Orboros - Winter Theme

I picked up a circle army on here, that the user Ironbrother had converted up as winter themed. I did a little more work on the pureblood warpwolf, Since ironbrother had decided not to use the spikey bits and had started filing down their anchors on the body. I greenstuffed an extended cloak for him to cover up those spots.

Since the idea was a winter theme, I wanted to keep the colors cool - I went for a much more blue green color for the enameling on the armor, as well as a more cool goldtone vs. bronze for the edging.
The fur was painted using the Andrea color White paint set. This was the first time I used it, and liked the natural tones it provided.
The armor was painted in Vallejo Air-color Gold.
The Enameling was done with GW foundation Orkhide Shade, mixed with hardcoat to create a wash and placed into the depressions.
The leather was based in scorched brown, and highlighted with Dark flesh, and Vermin Brown.
The claws are Based in Scorched brown, then highlighted with Bubonic Brown, bleached bone, and skull white

The feral warpwolf I really thought about. it seems everybody does him in browns (which are neutrals) like the faction art/models. I still wanted to keep with cool colors, but did not want the same white for all the warbeasts. I decided on gray in the end.

The model was primed white
The grey tone was Vallejo Air-color USA Grey. It was highlighted with mixes of USA Grey and Astronomicon grey.
The black fur is just badab black applied straight over the white primer in successive coats. no higlighting, just washing.
The armor was painted in Vallejo Air-color Gold.
The Enameling was done with GW foundation Orkhide Shade, mixed with hardcoat to create a wash and placed into the depressions.
The leather was based in scorched brown, and highlighted with Dark flesh, and Vermin Brown. (same was applied to the gums/mouth)
The claws are Based in Scorched brown, then highlighted with Bubonic Brown, bleached bone, and skull white

Laris was a no brainer. He is white, and I went with the same fur theme as the pureblood. I toned down his red kerchief, trying to say in the neutral brown range.

The paint scheme for laris is identical to that for the pureblood war-wolf - only with his kerchief I stopped with the Dark flesh highlights.

eKaya is a bit more trouble. I am still working on her. Going with a white cloak instead of her typical red cloak. She is also setup with firm trim, a scarf, and made to look like she has a bodysuit on vs. bare midrift.

The Druids of Orboros are almost an auto-include for me (and a lot of other players I am sure). I wanted to make them winter styled, but not forgo too much of the "black-clad" look. In the end, I decided that white cloaks would be enough to sell the idea along with the basing:

These were primed black - as that is how I received them. It worked out in the end.
The cloaks were based in Astronomicon Grey. Highlights were done in progressively more skull white added to the astronomicon grey up to almost pure skull white.
The black clothing was done with the Andrea Color black paint kit. I realize now the pictures do not really show any of the work there.
The armor was painted in Vallejo Air-color Gold.
The Enameling was done with GW foundation Orkhide Shade, mixed with hardcoat to create a wash and placed into the depressions.
The leather was based in scorched brown, and highlighted with Dark flesh, and Vermin Brown.
The Voulge was based in scorched brown. Then dry brushed with Bestial brown and snakebite leather, then washed with Gryphon sepia. The Metal bands are p3 Pig iron washed with gryphon sepia.

This is absolutely amazing work. I love the bases! Any idea what you would charge for something similar if you were to be commissioned?

@tabletop:
If you're going to discuss commissions with non-paying advertisers, it needs to be done privately.
Bartertown has a pretty strict policy on non-paying advertisers promoting themselves.
