Those hexwraiths are killer. Wonderful painting. Love the fire.

I voted Neferata. Arkhan is the eternal servant; Nagash's Grand Vizier. He could have all all the raw power of his master but it would never belong to him. He autonomy always seemed in question as though he were a puppet doing Nagash's will. Mannfred is another shadow of a greater power...

Hi all, I've been a lurker for years. I have posted a bit in the the modelling and painting threads but I haven't ever submitted my armies before. It's because I don't really have one. I love painting models but I hate painting armies just as much. I hated painted Warhammer armies more than...

The costs would be much higher but if you had the coin using the newer tomb guard infantry would look really impressive. The proportions are the same as the knights and the ornate detailing is very characterful. I guess what really made me want to suggest this was the base horses aren't...

Have you considered going down a scale to true 28mm? I was was thinking of the Clubmen Militia set by Warlord for Pike and Shotte. The models all have very tiny hands and most are open to accommodate hand weapons that require assembly. Your post made me think of a small boy in a morion...

Hey that is a good use; Thanks for the video. It's a shame they don't make an effort to publicize this themselves.

Saliva works pretty well. Adding more yellow to your GS mix makes it more pliable/ workable. New "improved" GW sculpting tool is absolute crap. The older one with the circular burnishing end was pretty good for smoothing surfaces but like other posters stated they tend to be too large to do...

Thank you. A great looking effect and a fantastic tutorial! Bookmarked for when I pick up some of those lotr spirit hosts.

This is a pain in the ass. no matter how good an idea it seems at the time do not join the the sides of the corpse mound together. This way you can fiddle and weave the two gaggles of limbs through either side of the carts "ribs" separately. Once you have them seated in the cart glue the join...

Foamcore with one of the paper faces watered down then removed would give you a reasonably sturdy form and excellent texture if you take the time to scribe the cobbles into exposed faced with a pencil that isn't too sharp. For a more "formal" or uniform brick look use a steel edged ruler to cut...

I read the thread and realized nobody had given you,"the warning" about plywood. If you intend to use it be sure to seal it with a coat of paint prior to laying down and glue and sand or any other "wet work". Ply is cheap but warps terribly when it gets wet. Additionally a frame of wooden...

I like any of the hammer classics especially the ones with Christopher Lee but another one I really like that I don't think anybody mentioned is The Fearless Vampire Killers. It's a 1967 film by Roman Polanski but for all intents and purposes it deserves to be a Hammer Film. There is just...

I haven't read my new book yet(too busy playing with new models and looking at the pictures) but without even looking at the profile I know I'm more comfortable with the idea of a dedicated caster working in tandem with a more combat oriented counterpart. Last edition I resented pumping so many...

I'd suggest a dilute purple wash following the green you applied. Purple can provide a fairly dark tint but should interact with with the green rather than muting all the colours you already applied. If your models are sporting exposed innards the purple also works very well with reds. The...

The new book has some great new pieces and the recycling and colouring of some of the art from older books is impressive. I don't hate the cover but it is hokey and underwhelming. There are much better offerings inside. Maybe the lines are just too crisp or cartoony but it doesn't pack the...
