Sooo... That was Faster than I anticipated
I got a little gung-ho this weekend. With only one day off I decided that I needed to get something done, and set out to try figuring out my army schemes. I think I have done that!
It started with Two models I have had forever. An old Vampire Countess model, and the newer (though still before round bases) Wight King. These models are so fantastic, and full of character. The old countess is a Metal model, and in the last few years of playing Infinity, I've learned a lot better how to prep and care for these metal minis. Unfortunately for myself, this was in the dark times. I'd built and painted this countess before I knew about filing, and real trimming, and heck, even before basing and priming, so I had some cleanup to do. I love this model to death, but I'd done a fair bit of damage to it over the years, and as such i knew it'd be the perfect "test model" for the death army. It went pretty well, and I was excited enough to strip my old wight king, and take a stab at him as well, to really nail down the palette before I moved on to skellies, and the mortarchs, and zombie dragon. (this stuff has been a grey tide for far too long)
I'm still not certain how I'm going to apply this to the skellies, but I'll be taking a stab at this, over the next week (I hope) on the buttload of mantic skeletons I have, and I'm hoping to perhaps work on the black knights and Hexwraiths and perhaps the spirit hosts over the week. we will see!
As for the stormcast, I went gangbusters, and got all of them coated in leadbelcher, washed black, and drybrushed Runfang steel, which will help me bust through a whole bunch of minis faster. I then decided to work on my Retributors. I went with a sort of jade and cream look, and was inspired by a video I saw a while back to paint thier hammers in marble. I really enjoyed this effect and will certainly be continuing it throughout the army!
now for the pictures! please excuse the phone camera pics, I'm pretty sure they aren't great, but they'll give somewhat of an idea of what was accomplished!
so. next week will be busy. I'll be at my sister's wedding, so I don't know how much time I will have to hobby. hopefully enough to get some more stuff moving! thanks for paying attention, anyone who has, and I'll see you next week!
