Ok, ok I know that this doesn't involve Vampire Counts at all, but I figured that I was kind of pleased with having written the thing, so I thought I'd post it here as well. It kind of lies in the setting of the game that this will be a shoot'em up game since both dwarves & wood elves are...

A number of reasons. First and foremost I thought it looked easy to paint the skeletons en masse. By (ab)using drybrushing to redicilous proportions I thought I could paint loads of units real quick, which actually also looked good. I've used drybrushing on skeletons before with sucess...

Nope, not expensive at all. Here's what I used for the trees themselves. Tree armatures (28 tree pack) - $12.99 Fine leaf foliage (autumn leaves) - $13.99 The fine details are all made up of wood elf sprues, mostly dryads.

Yes, I have to agree with the number of trees, and this could probably be increased. As for the bushes & grass I think I'll leave that out since I'd like the woods to be as dead as possible. This is the reason there's only grass at the edges, and hardly anything in the middle. Dead leaves...

Those are absolutely stunning. Really really great work you got going. As the rest of us here, I can't wait to see when your VC units start appearing here.

I'm sort of in a terrain-making period right now, and on that occasion I decided to try and make a haunted wood. So what I did was to get some trees at a hobby railroad store which sells trees in all shapes and colors. These was quite nice since they come in packages of 28 trees, and flatpacked...

I would also like to see that all pictures are of the exact same resolution. Could be annoying when people are posting too large or too small pictures. I'd also like to see that you cannot write too much text along with it. Perhaps a single boldface comment under each picture, combined with a...

Great idea! I've just started out with VC (miniatures inbound through mail) and is going to do all these searches in a weeks time or so.

The 'magical attack' ability as far as I understand doesn't do anything at all, unless your opponent specificy specify that it does. Typically this is the case for magical beings such as etheral which can't be harmed at all by anything other than magic attacks and the wood elf tree spirits...

Hehe, I'm no stranger to this :P But I find making such decisions as a colorscheme hard. It is just so... permanent. Especially since it will be affecting my entire army. Did a bad colorchoice with Eldar back in the days, and tried to repaint them. After half the army was badly done repainted...

Oooh. Nice. Didn't know about that color-thing. Just saw a post the other day that did it and started to wonder how he managed that. I guess I'll stick with that approach in the future.

Hehe, yeah I guess I'm busted there. I'm very inspired by the way they did mapmaking in the old white dwarves and even army books. Haven't seen any maps in recent battle reports though. Most people tend to just write, and most GW just seem to include pictures. Did everyone stop using maps at...

Actually, this was my precise point. You don't have to sacrifice any of your offensive spells, since you will only be using extra dice bought from the freed-up points of a few units. After you have created back the units (average of 2-3 rounds), then you can begin using the extra dice for...

Sorry about if this has been commented on before, but I'm new to the forum, so I'm excused ;) When reading about the Master vampire abilities, there is one thing that strikes me. Given that these abilities gives you the option of increasing your units above the starting size, there is one...

Thx for the quick reply :) I guess that's true. I might just go with this scheme. I was at some point considering a light eerie bluish color, that would go very well with supporting ghost units, but I suppose it would also be possible to paint the ghosts in a tainted yellow color to make them...

Is it just my screen or setup that does it? On my screen the colors, font and size seem to be exactly identical. Perhaps a slight hint of brighter color if I really look closely (0-5% difference at most). It gets underlined when hovering over it, and it is then suddenly revealed to be a link, so...

Welcome Aspiring Executioner! Even if you did take away my nice "Welcome to our newest member Genesis84"-salute at the front page :P
