RE: Rising an army from the dead...Updated 13.11 - Horde of ghouls

It took me a LOOOOONG time to paint this horde but finally it is over... And I'm glad of it.
Forty ghouls, mostly old Citadels, with few even older ghouls from mid eighties and four miniatures from the same sculptor, made for Heresy Miniatures iirc.

More photos on my blog ofc.

Long time no see... Well. I don't paint many undeads now. And there is a second reason, I hate current look of this forum. Horrible. Still, I started to slowly paint my mountain of lead skeletons with one rule - about an hour for one miniature. Two finished so far...

God Damn it man, stop it with the 1990's ghouls, they look too awesome when in huge units like this!

Personally I like the new forum but things are still changing all the time, overall it will be improved, just takes getting used to.
On the plus side its not as bad as GW's Website makeover. ;)

The OSL really makes them pop I must say, have you ever considered doing a Violin Musician? :perv:
 
Loving the models, the vargulf is really nice.

How do you get such crisp highlighting on the buildings? I'm looking at the hour glass on the side of one of the crypt in particular.

Also, can I ask how you get such nice bright images? and are the backgrounds added after? Or part of the shot?

All the best

Images are bright because I use strong lights. One covers front and upper sides of miniatures, two others are directed against background itself, on sides. They have much lesser output thought. Images are then processed in Picassa, contrast is autoimproved.

Highlights on buildings are very easy. After initial coats of basecoat paint and two or three layers of progressively lighter shades being aerobrushed, I just drybrush lighter and lighter tones. Three gently stages of drybrushing is enough. Some parts are additionally weathered with greens and beiges. Hourglass was just drybrushed (being gentle and light is the key here).

Backgrounds are part of the photo itself. They are just some printed images from the net.
 
Nice to see someone else from Poland here ;) Also nice to see a plog brought up from inactivity after long time :thumbsup:

I looked briefly through both your thread and the blog and I liked them very much! Great use of old miniatures, technique of painting and quality of photos. I'll have to look through them more thoroughly! I love the colors on the treasure hunters and the necrarch that is a few posts above is stunning. So striking!
