  1. Haha, well I'll keep an eye out if we're all still alive by then. :P

    Had a 4000pt game to cap off a 3 day campaign I was playing with a friend from the GHB. It was quite fun, and thankfully I managed to storm through each game at 1500, 2000 and finally 4000pts. This is my entire collection and it was pretty cool to get the chance to put it all on the table. Sadly only about half of it is fully painted and based so far, but I'm steadily ploughing through it all. :)

    Also kitbashed this chappy together as a Necromancer/Liche Priest/Tomb Herald. I mainly intend to play him as the latter, I like to imagine the brazier burning with spiritfire as he slams it into the ground, raising the dead all around him. Was an easy conversion, glad I've got all these spare Hexwraith bitz, haha.

  2. Sadly I passed them on. Actually cursed myself for it later as I was mulling over making a few Skeleton Archers for list variety later and the Bows were on those sprues too. These have been in the painting queue for a month or two now.

    I'd like to see a project like that though, so make sure to post it up when you have the chance! :)

  3. That's Army Painter snow with a layer of Citadel snow flock over the top of it. I used Valhallan Blizzard for the Grave Guard, not sure if you could tint it though. I imagine you could do by mixing small, dilute amounts in. :)

    Skeletons looking suitably spooky CG! The new much better sculpted new heads and arms look great on the more dynamic old bodies, best of both worlds imo. :) 

    Thanks! Yeah, I actually quite like the old bodies a fair bit. Heads and weapons are fairly awful, but they work well, especially once they're all blocked up together.

  4. Thanks man! Hope I keep it up, haha.

    I got a bunch of old skelly models for cheap, which was nice, but obviously they're a little bit doofy and derpy. Decided to try and kitbash the bodies and legs together with spare parts from the newer VC Skeleton Warriors kit. The results are actually pretty solid, and they paint up fairly well. :)

  5. I doubt you'll see any real Black Friday deals. Black Friday has died off here in Blighty after a couple of years back where the country shuddered in mutual disgust watching a middle-aged mother of five tear out the throat of a shelf stacker with her teeth to get a $50 off TV.

    Was very uncouth and most definitely not cricket!

  7. As nasty as a rotting corpse should. :P

    I've started work on my Settra counts-as. Channeling Boudicca a bit as I shaved the face off a Vampire Maiden to give her a death mask, and she wields a double-ended scythe as she rides into battle. Not the best conversion, but I'm hoping it holds up after a paintjob.

  8. My army is now almost entirely skeletons, haha, they're definitely fun to play and surprisingly fun to paint. Sadly I didn't make it so I could swap heads on the Geist/Dragon, didn't think that far ahead! 

    Wight Lord on Zombie Dragon is finished now. Just the base to go now, went for a shiny, regal look to him compared to everything else in the army. :)

  9. Yeah, these models are second hand rescues from a local store that does a lot of second-hand minis. They'd already been based, but barely a lick of paint, so I decided to use them to test out the new Valhallan Blizzard basing stuff. Turned out quite nicely. After a productive lunch break though, I can now declare these to be finished! :)

  10. They'll probably retain the same Pound value as GW manufactures entirely within the UK, but they might be cheaper due to the lower Dollar value. That said, a lot of industry here is switching to the Dollar as it's more stable, so they might be using the Dollar as reference for price points.

    Do the rumours predate the EU vote?
