Oh absolutely, that's a given. Though I'm comparing to other factions in TOW rather than our 8th book. If anything, this is closer to our 6th book. Let's take Blood Knights (BK) for example: Compared to their closest counterparts in other armies, the chosen chaos knights (CCK) and the grail...

I don't think the army is too bad actually, though you can do some dumb things. Blood knights seem a bit weak for what they should be...but you can resurrect up to 8 of them in a turn thanks to Nehek so they are weirdly strong, just for all the wrong reasons. Vargheists are expensive but they...

Yeah, I get you, it's how I felt the day the article came out. Since then though I've heard that the legacy army rules are supposed to be as good as the core factions' (minus the eventual arcane journals) which has put my worries to rest. It's still not the same as being fully supported and I...

I was mostly joking with the AoS comparison, though I guess for me it is somewhat valid. I started WFB at the end of 8th and begrudgingly switched to AoS, which I enjoy but nowhere near as much as I did fantasy. I now have an (almost) fully painted AoS army but I'm looking forward to putting...

Hey all It seems pretty dead (hah) here, despite the Old World being just around the corner. How're you all feeling for the new game? We've been able to see most of the rules, with the only thing not out being the rules for our faction. Better than 8th? Better than AoS? No good?

10 skeletons are done! I've managed to keep the time down to needing 3-4 evenings for the unit of 10 which for me is a reasonably quick painting time. I think they're decent, not exactly what I was going for but I cut some corners to save time. A lot the cloth was done using contrasts...

(Dynasty name pending, I'll update as soon as I think of something suitably cool) I am back! It's been too long and it's heart-warming to see this forum resurrected* for the release of Soulblight Gravelords! Around 5 years ago this was my go-to forum for all things Warhammer but with the...

So glad to be back, it's been a while! Work is hyper-busy for me until mid July, but from then expect me to be posting full-steam about a particular Vampire painting project of mine. What's that you ask? Why, it shall be surrealist-art-inspired Soulblight Gravelords of course!

Another update, he is 90% finished! I just need to go over the horse again. My first proper shot at NMM, I think it turned out alright though a bit rough on one side, damn though it takes a long time. Overall pretty happy with him, what do you guys think?

@mousekiller I think this answers your question - here is the cloth, swirls because why not. The armour will probably be staying dark as is, maybe one final highlight with evil sunz scarlet. SUPER CLOSE UPS! So I did a bit of work on the shields, here is an example. The iron is a bit rough...

Some of the rest of the squad. I toned the armour down a bit and made it darker (not THAT much though, the pic is too dark I was in a hurry). I'll be doing regular updates on this thread now, perhaps treating it as a plog though maybe not every single tiny step will be shown. As mentioned...

Colour me impressed! Very clean outcome, especially on the bones. Nice ethereal look too. What I would suggest is highlighting those ethereal bits more (green) by taking your green and adding a bit of white to it. So take the green you used, add a small bit of white, go over the raised bits...

I updated the image, I really want these to come out looking good and professional (comp and all). Any tips to make them look better (aside from hooves, those will be getting changed)?

I agree, I think I have overdone the multi-coloured aspect of it. It's spiderman syndrome, honest! I start highlighting blues and reds on a model and all of a sudden it's a bright techno multi-coloured mess ;) Any tips on getting the colours colder? If you saw my Wight King it's heading in that...

@Dragonet I heard someone wanted some armour... So here is the next update, worked on the armour a lot, cleaned up a few bits. Definitely not done on this one yet. EDIT: here is a much more detailed image @Mad 'At @Dragonet @Leithel @Farmer7574 it shows the colours much better.
