Hmm, I’d think new topic, as this topic seems to be more general and a new topic could be more specific.  Plus, new topic equals more stuff to have to keep track which is good for the insanity.

Certainly not the best paintjobs, but at about 7 seconds per skeleton to do the bone colour, I don’t care.

The contrast paints let you get a shaded model in next to no time.

The wood and metal I did the normal way, paint ink wash and drybrush.

Anyway, I have painted something in the first time in ages, so I’m happy.
Basing next, the banner will be plain black until I decide on a design.

Hey that’s not a bad result at all, and you can’t argue with the time it took either.  You could probably do another 300 in 30 min!

They are nice. Pendraken?

[Angel Barracks]

Thanks both.
Yes some Pendraken ones.

The new gaming room looks fantastic and there plenty of room on the shelves for more figures…..

MOAR FIGURES!!

I finished a couple of units mostly of contrast painted bone, they look different from the previous models where I did paint, inkwash and drybrush, maybe not as nice? I am not sure, but here are the finished units (except for the banners, still not decided on those yet)

[Darkest Star Games]

From the photos they look great, especially all grouped up like that.

Will they be augmented with archers and skelehorses?

Skelly Archers, cavalry, ghouls, zombies and some undead screaming skull catapults!!

A “Plague Cart” would be a nice touch though I suppose you’d have to scratch build it.

Fossilizing nicely.

Now that is a cool idea. I have one of those models somewhere. £2.50. Those were the days!

Indeed, a plague cart is very much needed. I have been looking for models I can convert with minimal bother.

I am enjoying the undead, they are so quick to get painted, admittedly they are not painted to anything more than tabletop standard, but hey, that means playing with them which is the whole point right?

Next up are some skull chuckers. I added a green stuff crossbone as they seemed a bit wobbly up top.
White primer.
Contrast paint, though in this case unlike with the skellies, a quick drybrush as these have flat areas where the contrast paint pools.

[Darkest Star Games]

Love how sort of wonky they look.

Can you imagine trying to teach a skele how to operate a catapult?  I bet that would be a frustrating job.

IKR!!

Next up. I figured my Empire army needed to upgrade its wizard.

 

[ian pillay]

That’s a “hot” paint job on the wizard. Nice one 👍

What every happened to undead archers?

When Tomb Kings came on the scene the ‘normal’ undead lost them and I missed the reasoning behind the retcon…

Love the new wizard – hope his hair stays away from the candles on the cowl…

Thanks!

Not sure on undead, the Tomb Kings are Nagash related I think and a different undead from Empire undead which are local undead for local people?

I am sticking mostly to what was around in 3rd edition circa 2512 IC.

So none of this Tomb Kings, Ogre Kingdoms malarky etc   😛

I have a small unit of undead archers, though with such a dire BS I don’t expect much from them.

[Angel Barracks]

Managed to base some undead cavalry last night.
I forgot to chop off the bone tails* before priming though. Basing compound is plasticine with superglue spread over it to seal/harden and then sand texture gel.

(*Why do they have bones in their tails?)

[Angel Barracks]

Turns out:

[Andrew Beasley]

Tail vs rump bones – the classic issue.

For me – horses (and wolves) just look daft without tails even when dead…

[Angel Barracks]

Finished the undead cavalry. Contrast again for the bones.
I did debate not painting the horse flesh and leaving it as bone. Doing he flesh made it twice as long to paint, but glad I did.

These are local undead for local people, there’s nothing for YOU here!

I have been looking for good 6mm scale options for the plague cart and skull chucker myself – it may be a mix and match task, as I also don’t want my undead going too far towards the Egyptian look.
