Ben Johnson Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi all, A while back I painted up some Realm of Death terrain as a break from painting Stormcast and ever since then I've wanted an army to fight over it. So over the last five weeks I've been painting up a small Flesh-Eater Courts army with the idea to take it to Facehammer, I'm still painting the display board for them it the army if all finished after a took a few bit son holiday with me for some #caravanpainting. First up where the Ghoul's I knew I'd need lots of these so I plugged away at 60 before starting anything else! They sent me a little mad I have to admit but happy I'll never have to build another Ghoul as long as I live! After that the rest was easy. The bases have been real good fun to do using the Shattered Dominion sets, great bases and a neat quick paint job have made the army look better that the sum of its parts. On to some photos. Base coat on the first Ghoul Painting bases on the sprue is so easy and they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Johnson Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 More photos of bits and bobs during painting, I went for a nice easy colour scheme that was based on the guys in the Battletome. Lots of washes and drybushing, then anything that didn't come out Ok was covered in Blood for the Blood God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Misfire Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Very nice. Possibly the best use of shattered dominion bases I've seen to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenske Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Great stuff! I'm wrapping up my Court for a tourney at the start of November. Amazing what you did with the bases! When they first came out I thought they would make a great starting point, way to make them your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysandestolpe Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 That is one display that would have me argue for a medal most likely. I would play around with the arrangements of your centerpiece (Nagash) if you're competing for armies on parade. I've judged army competitions where the set of judges and I gave away the gold to another competitor due to his phenomenal display composition. Man, this thread is the most exciting one on the forum for me right now. What's your next move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Taylor Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Impressed by how the board came out seemed at the start to be sketchy then it came out great! Good to see the progression! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherJosh Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm probably late to the game but, I'm intrigued about your FEC bases, would you mind sharing some info about them? I noticed you didn't appear to Prime the bases, is it that they don't need it? The red "gravel" appears to be basically just a texture material that you've glued to the base, and it appears as though you're using bones from the Ghoul kit on the bases as well? What are the tan colored splotches early in the process? (Is that Tau Sept Ochre?) and what is the painting reason behind them? Once you put on the wild rider red areas and the nilakh oxide areas, are you then just doing a drybrush of the mechanicus followed by drybrushing of dawnstone and praxeti? I see where you are using the Agrax earth shade on the metallic area, was the metallic put down prior to the mechanicus and dawnstone drybrushing? And I'm not seeing where you're using the blue glaze on the large bases. Thanks for sharing, the painting is pretty inspirational ...

I know I'm a bit late to the blog, but absolutely loving your bases, definitely going to be using the shattered Dominion bases for my DoK army!
