Soulsmith Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Now that is speedy. Let me see if I can smash out ten brutes somehow, I don't think I could relent to drybrushing their skin it's too pretty! Really isn't too noticeable a difference for the skellies and you'll have so many anyway.Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Definitely, those brutes deserve proper treatment! [emoji6] but yeh hopefully the colourful shields and clothes will trick the eye in to thinking that the bone looks fine [emoji16]Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Got my 20 sword skellies all but done! Just need a few details eg wood and dirt sponging then bases. Not too shabby for a weekend's work I reckon. Poor pic I'm afraid - it's late, but hopefully you get the gist [emoji16]Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It always sucks when you realize you're being so detailed you loose momentum. Brave choice! I wouldn't notice the difference, especially at tabletop level, so I think you made the right choice. For whatever that's worth. Momentum is everything. Looking forward to the close ups!

Ademo Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks@Kramer I think you hit the nail on the head! Was definitely a momentum thing. Hopefully you're right and it won't be too noticeable. Aiming to get them all done over the next day or 2.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 And done! Getting closer to the finish line on painting the tourney list! 20 spearmen, 2 morghasts and a necromancer left to go [emoji16] but I did also get some awesome father's day gifts in the shape of a banshee and wraith! Will definitely get them made and painted up for skirmish and to swap in and out of the main army. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sadly a bit hot for spraypainting but managed to finish basing my morghasts as well as build a couple of terrain pieces! A rock pile/circle and a burial mound/barrow/tumulus. Once these are painted up I will have finished enough pieces for pompey pillage!

Soulsmith Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Awesome work. One day I foresee a best painted army award! Love the little detail on them and decorations. Agreed on the weather, tried painting and within 30 minutes my wet palette was dry, and the paint was rapidly drying in the bristles. Real write off!

Nin Win Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Those skeleton units turned out great. I really like how both the miniatures and the bases have real variety in their colours and apparent textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordova Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Wow ... awesome work (and pretty speedy too - I'm still stuck on my first unit of Chaos Warriors from Christmas!! ). Once the army's done, you'll have to do a nice high-resolution full army shot. 13 hours ago, Soulsmith said: Agreed on the weather, tried painting and within 30 minutes my wet palette was dry, and the paint was rapidly drying in the bristles. Real write off! Lucky - I tried to wash a base and you could see the Agrax Earthshade drying before your eyes - literally less than 30s after application and it was dry (and left a horrid effect that needs re-doing!) ... I tried to do some drybrushing and the paint dried on the bristles before I got it to the model ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks guys! Looks like the weather is cooling down so that's good for painting! I will definitely take a family photo once the army is done! I have a 2k game vs my mate's skaven and friends next week so will update the battles log in the eeath forum sometime next week.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Managed to complete the 2 terrain pieces which means I have a full complement of 5 ready for the tourney. Thought it would be fun to put some minis next to them and see how they look! Just need a smoke machine for full spooky effect [emoji16]Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ademo Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks alot fellas! Been working on a display board for taking to tournies etc. Bit of work still to got but decided to try a dry fit of everything! I'll probably go black edges and need to go back over some of the grass blending when new tubs of it arrive! But fairly happy - may do a few extra accent pieces which can double as objectives in games.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrainguy Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 This is just a marvelous army. It's been awesome seeing it build. Seeing it on the display board is great. I can't wait to see the final pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 @Lysandestolpe that would be incredible! Likewise, if you ever head UK-side, ditto!So my birthday was last week and my friends all chipped in and surprised me with a mourngul! I put it together and after a really fun game (and win - yay!) Against the sky dwarves, I decided to get cracking with paintung the beast. I tried to blend with washes to create a slight transitional effect and I'm pretty pleased! Still have a fair few highlights to go and some tidying up as well as glazing. I thought whilst I was at it I'd double down and start a wraith too.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
