Cool, nice transformation!

Any tips on making the Howdah? Been thinking of making a mammoth myself for some time now and the howdah is where i get hesitant.

The Howdah was easily done with a lot of tooth picks and some beastmen/slaves to Darkness bits. Really no rocket science

It was this poor, maybe 30 years old Elefant which I found in my mother’s attic  ?

[darkling coven & friends, 1200 points]

Got beaten up badly in the past by executioners. Also love the look of the new black guard models and they cost 20 points less. Take out the Medusae and the second sorceress and you have exactly 1000 points  but also plan for a second build which includes executioners instead of the guard and sisters of slaugther instead of witch elves & hag, also 1000 points.  Maybe doing a headswap for the executioner heads

[Sorceress on Black Dragon]

Thanks  I simply dry brushed them and afterwards darkened down again the edges of the leather with some coats of thinned Agrax Earthshade

[Sayl the Faithless and Nightmaw]

Thanks a lot  the base is simply painted with steel legion drab

[1000 Points of Warherd]

Played mostly against other combat armies. It requires thoughtful play but then they really hack the enemies into small pieces  

will struggle for sure against shooting armies, due to the low saves

Nice work. How does the Thaumaturge compare in size to a regular Minotaur?

Same size but slimmer arms and legs

[Doombull]

Many thanks  there are still some Ungor calves to come, wanted to build up a 1k herd, which works quite nicely thanks to GHB2017  

[Ghorgon]

Thanks a lot  used some Doombull Brown mixed with a lot of Agrax on a white base coat for the base tone and then 2-3 layers of Agrax for the details, with some highlights of Chadian or kislev Flesh in between for highlights   Looking forward to your cygor, mine will show up on Monday

[Bloodthirster of insensate rage]

Exactly, he rolled snake eyes and couldn't run far enough. The bloodthirster's arguments stuck him in the back

OSL means on surface lightning, like the lava reflecting on the stones. Used following tutorial, maybe you can translate it. Basically you drybrush dark red, then orange, yellow and finally little bit of white. Each layer a little smaller and further away from the lava. You can also try to smoothen the transition of the lava colors by using some glaces like red or better yellow

Oh thats Cool! Really dig those hero bases. I'm currently doing a Chaos army with lava bases. Any chance for a close up?

Here we go  your model and bases look great, maybe adding some OSL on the rocks close to the lava?

[Gitmob Grots]

Might be around 1.200 points, they are so cheap ?

[Orruks]

Many thanks, good to hear that. Usually I am to lazy to paint the banner ?

[Weirdnob Shaman]

Many thanks  didn't plan much blending, simply mixed shades with normal colors 1:1 and they really nicely layered into each other, even though the previous color was already dry  

[Runefather on Magmadroth]

Thanks a lot! Just painting, mostly glazes and shades, starting with the bright ones and then adding the darker ones

Haha, can't say I disagree!

Maybe we should start a secret facebook group to worship them even more ?

[2nd unit of black knights]

Thanks a lot  that are regular shattered dominion Bases from GW, nothing modified and really quick to paint. Just some white, Oxide and then green Glaze for the spooky liquids on the ground

[Grave Guard]

Many thanks, good to know the effort was worth it

Really cool scheme man, would love to see more.

Thanks! Still assembling the rest of the army, plan then a blog about the painting process and also some background fluff for my death rattle army  

[Skullreapers]

I guess I took them from Skullcrushers, they have the coolest helmets so far  organical heads are really strange, also did not like them...

Fantastic! How did you do the excellent bases for these?

Thanks Just some dips of martian iron earth, base color, washes and 2-3 highlights. In addition small black Stones with some highlights, that's it, quite easy
