Photo dump heartily approved!

Photo dump heartily approved!

Ehehehe, thanks!

I'm definitely planning on getting a lightbox soon though, gotta up my photo game

 

[Gederas]

No images (as it's hard to get images of these ones in progress), but I'm working on a squad of Blood Knights in the Kastelai dynasty style shown in the Battletome.

Also: Leadbelcher spray is NOT good for painting over because it alwasy ends up very hydrophobic. Which is.... Annoying when trying to paint

 

[Gederas]

Update, I actually got pictures of the in-progress Blood Knights, as well as two more Wight Kings (well, one's going to be a queen)

Blood Knights:

Wight King Queen on Skeletal Steed (will be a banner-bearer for other games)

Current issue with her is I'm not sure if I want to find a helmeted skull, or sculpt a tiara on a bare skull for her head.

Wight King (with a very big axe)

I really like the Wight king, great conversion

thanks!

Also, I never had terrain that was the right size, and then the new Gondor Ruins came out and I dis a measure of one of the ones my FLGS had that was built. 41 bucks (had to buy the plastic card down there too) and an hour later I had a corner piece of terrain built. Just need to do some slight work on one piece of the ruins, but otherwise, I can finally say it:

Neferata is ready for priming!

All these models need proper square bases

 

[The Sun King]

Wow! That is truly impressive amount of work! Great job! I especially like your Dragons!

 

[Gederas]

SCHEDULE SLIP HO!

I finished these Blood Knights on the second, forgot to post them until today:

 

[logan054]

Great work

 

[Gederas]

Thanks! I've got another set of 10 Dire Wolves and another Vargskyr (bringing me up to three in total) in progress. Nearly done with them. Also finished the 6 Fell Bats, just gotta varnish them

 

[logan054]

Ahh nice, I need to start working on my vamps again, I suspect orcs are next

 

[Gederas]

Welp. I ran out of Dawnstone and my FLGS didn't have any, and my local GW doesn't carry it in store anymore So I had to order it and now I'm waiting to be able to finish my 10 Dire Wolves and third Vargskyr.

Additionally, picked up a Gravelords collection today (saved it from getting trashed, literally) for 100. All those zombies will be going towards a Kings of War multibased unit because I don't need that many more zombies for AoS....

 

[Gederas]

Good news! My Dawnstone came in today, so I can finish my Dire Wolves and Vargskyr today

 

[Gederas]

Tadaa!

Vargskyr 3:

Fell Bats:

Dire Wolves:

 

[The Sun King]

All those models look super crisp!

 

[Von Kallstrom]

Excellent! How did you paint that white greyish skin?

Grey Seer > Apothecary White > White Scar drybrush. The fur on the Vargskyr and Dire Wolves had more steps between the Apothecary White and the White Scar drybrush though (Soulblight Grey, Basilicanum Grey)

Aggravatingly, one of my Skeletons broke due to my own stupidity during a session of Cursed City yesterday. Thankfully it was on an area I can cover up the pin with some greenstuff to make more cloth.

Still annoying though

Where did you get the small bronze rods that you used for the axe shaft of the wight?

 

[yoroba]

And: stuning ideas and execution on this army. The battle standard is frighteningly good.

 

[The Sun King]

Amazing stuff as always!

 

[Gederas]

Thanks!

(Sorry, been off here for a bit due to focusing on my Black Templars)

It's K&S Precision Metals 3/64 Brass Rod. I bought it at Hobby Lobby, but can be found at any hobby/model shop
