I think the color scheme on both figs are good. Very solid.

Tough to tell details w/ the fuzzy pics.

A hint on photos. Make sure you are on Macro mode on your camera (little flower icon). It is then set for short focal lengths (taking close ups).

Your instruction book will tell you how long range should be (distance between figure and the camera lends). Get closer then that range and the camera can't focus on your subject.

If you have a timer you can use that too. It eliminates and wiggle (fuzzy) from pushing the camera button to take a picture.

Very nice

Though, one suggestion, ink the skin. That skin color, for some reason, has always bothered me when it's just painted on with no inking done, it looks too pasty.... I would say, use some brown/chestnut ink, mixed in a 4 to 10 part water to 1 part ink (after a few models, you'll find the mixture that you like) and ink over the fleshy areas. Then, for a good final measure, highlight with some elf flesh.

Other than that, though, I really like your scheme, and nice bases!

that vet sarg has some crazy weapons.

Make sure to remember that the tournament is WYSIWYG, so he needs to be armed with what he has beyond regular equipment (not sure if he is or not).
