The votes were clear, I am now going to make the walls of my Ossiarch Necropolis to look like bone and stone, and also, because a few people voted nadirite, I am going to use @Nick Stockton 's idea of doing nadirite gates with eerie reflections

Neither can I, but I don't know how long it will take, because it will be a big project, and I've only just started.

That's a great idea! If the votes go to bone and stone, like they are at the moment, I'll definitely do that.

Yeah, so the stone and bone option. Good choice.

So, my latest diorama, is going to be an Ossiarch Bonereapers Necropolis by the stormy ghoulish sea. The only thing is, I don't know what to make the walls look like. In the battletome, it says that all the Necropolises are meant to be very similar looking, and the walls in the art are made of stone and bone. This makes me feel like I should do them like this, but I don't really know, because I think they look cool, but aren't that interesting. Another option is to make them solely out of bone, which was my original plan, but would be very difficult to construct. The last is to make them out of Nadirite, or at least plated in nadirite. For those of you who don't know, nadirite is the material that Ossiarch Bonereapers' shields, armour and swords. This could look really cool, and I could do some reflections of things outside, and it would be fairly simple to make. The problem is that it would be incredibly difficult to paint well. The thing is that I can justify it not being stone and bone, so I am torn about which one to do. So the answer is up to you. Please tell me what you think, and whichever gets the most votes, will be completed. Thanks!

Of course, I do not wish to encroach the banner painting on you, but I am glad you like the idea. Have a lovely day

Hello everybody, due to recent events and terrible death of George Floyd, I decided to dedicate a model to the Black Lives Matter campaign. I chose a banner bearer from my skeletons to dedicate, because that's the only army I have, and I painted his banner with the Black Lives Matter symbol on it. Now the problem is that I am terrible at freehanding, but there are people out there who are absolute masters at it, and should probably copyright the while concept since they basically own it. So I invite all of you to participate in this fun challenge, and pick a banner bearer from your army, and dedicate it to Black Lives Matter. You won't win anything, it's just for fun. So here is the rest of my model. There I did BLM on his shield, that stands for Black Lives Matter as I am sure you all know. Here is the whole model, which isn't done, but the freehanding is. I also tried to make their bone colour more like a black person's skin tone, compared to my other skellies, I know it's not technically correct, but it's just for fun really. Go on, have a go, we all have a banner bearer somewhere, support the people, and paint a beautiful mini. I can't wait to see yours! I would like to say that I would like there to be only a little political discussion if any, as I know that the hobby is for many people an escape from real life. Anyway, just try painting the banner, you can't do much worse than me, and you might as well have a go.

I wonder what he'd think of himself through his weird FEC madness. Some kind of lazy soldier?

You could do one ghoul who can only move or only attack.

I am actually making a diorama at the moment, that is an ossiarch fortress, and I am basing it on the descriptions in the bonereapers book, so I found some good supplies to make the bookshelves, and bottles for some workshops and laboratories, here. It also has all sorts of other things to make scenery out of. I know it is not ideal, but I too have been scouring the web for ossiarch terrain, and have realised that unless I spend many, many hours online, I have to take matters into my own hands and build some terrain. I too have been very disappointed that they didn't release some scenery with the bonereapers, they probably made those battlements out of green stuff or something, then made a mould to make the impression that because of the uniformity it was going to be a set. I hope other people have better suggestions than me.

It is very impressive

The fact that you painted all of that alone is remarkable, but the Ghost Ship is absolutely beautiful

I think that Games Workshop have created unique architypes for the 4 grand alliances, and one of the main one for new AOS death, is that it is difficult to get range unless you invest a lot of points in weak missile weapons like the tomb banshee's shriek which isn't a great option anyway. However, I do think that in the future, when they expand armies like Ossiarch Bonereapers missile weapons will start to creep into. However, I may be mistaken. I'm only quite new to AOS, so maybe I am not quite attuned to the ebb and flow of how games workshop releases products.
