On the plate next - some ghouls. They're purple. It could happen! I have 10 of these and 10 of the new plastic models. I like both even though they're so different. I've painted one of the plastic ones as a test but haven't shot a photo of it yet. I'm going to put the newer ones in front...

Here are some (once again old) carrion models that I plan to proxy for fell bats. I don't care much for the current piggy-nose fell bats, even though it seems some bats actually do look like that. After looking at the other threads I think I need a better name for mine...

Ha, I actually have that old Nagash model. Haven't painted it though. I think I got it in some kind of bulk deal. I didn't think it was so bad at first until I heard others complain, but then I could see why they were complaining. I was thinking about the old school models and wondering if I...

Thanks again for the comments. I will do a test model sometimes, and other times I just wing it for the unit. That zombie is a fun one too. I was happy with how the guts came out on him. Here’s a bat swarm. It’s a reaper model that I likea LOT better than the GW ones. It was sad they didn’t...

This is my zombie unit. I love these old zombie figs with all their character and wish they'd do more like these. I figured zombies are a pretty rag-tag lot, so I painted them with different skin tones and clothes with the hope that the painting style would tie them together as a unit. I've got...

Just looked through this for the first time. What a great idea and very well executed! I noticed one of the clowns holding a set of juggling balls. It would be cool to do one that was actually juggling a set of clubs, or a mini-diorama of a couple of them passing juggling clubs back and forth...

Thanks for the comments! Up next is my Black Coach. This sat around about 80% done for years while I went through a long inactive period. I finally went back and finished it up a few months ago. More comments welcome... Ben

RE: Rising an army from the dead...Updated 09.04 - varia Very nice all around. I'm building a very similar army, similar figures and a similar painting style so this is great to see. I have a bunch of the same old models as I started getting them in the late 80s. I love those old zombies (yeah...

Here's a unit of Wraiths. Can you even field these as a unit now? I'm not sure. But anyway. Another example of older models that I really like. In fact, when these were available I chased all over trying to find them and no retailer ever had them in stock. Every time I went out of town I'd...

Thanks for the comments! I once posted that picture somewhere else and it didn't get a peep. Here's a unit of skeletons. I like these better than the current "falling forward" kit that is out. Good thing I have 80 more stocked up to assemble and paint sometime! When I first started I tried to...

RE: Primewill's painting log (first army!) Hey, I'm doing almost exactly the same thing for dire wolves. I don't like the current models but do like the chaos warhounds. I've been working on ears for them and putting on tails from some battlemasters wolves I have. Ben

Hi all, I just made an intro post in the intro section and wanted to start a log of my army here and see what everyone thinks. This first post is really mostly a test to see if I can post pictures properly. Here's a shot of my banshee. I bought and painted this at a GW store in England...

Hi all, My name’s Ben and I’m from Ogden, Utah. I’ve been collecting and painting since the late 80s and have always wanted to play but have only really played 1 game, years ago, so despite having been in the hobby since before many of you were probably born, I’m a total noob at the game. I’m...
