Mmm... Guess that might indeed be the problem with those Black Orcs, the white reflecting on the armour too much! Thanks!
I'll check out the article, but my mini's will be photographed in Nottingham in January and I don't think I could do it better than that myself ;)
Looks a good mini, but I think that you need to decrease the background contrast to get a better result with the photos. Suggest you read Honza's article on taking Photo's of mini's.
