I generally use a combination of tearing out larger chunks and making them rockier by plucking out little bits and pieces of it. If I need a specific height I carve then at roughly the size I want them and glue some pieces together or on top of each other. To make the model fit perfectly I use a...

That's a sweet conversion!

That wolf looks great! Another way to get cheap cork is by getting a set of pan coasters and tearing those up.

Thanks a lot! The fell bats and bat swarms are rapidly turning into some of my favourite units. When everything I currently have is painted up I might see if I can get myself some other bat-themed models like the vargheists/terrorgeist/varghulf. But first, zombies. 20 out of 55 are done now...

Your army is awesome! I love your wonderfully creative conversions, especially that Terrorgeist.

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, I very much enjoy Morrowind <3! I got a few more zombies done, and because I finished the unit of skeletons I allowed myself to paint up a Tomb Banshee too. I finally got the bases for my bats as well, so I finally assembled. One of the fell bats is...

For grey stone I usually go for the old codex grey (or any dark grey) over a black undercoat and then drybrushed with fortress grey (or any lighter grey). On some models with a lot of stone and rock I ended up starting with 50:50 codex grey + black and drybrushing up to fortress grey and then...

The honor guard conversions look awesome, as does the baroness. I'd like to ask what head you used on her, and where the summoning book stand on the spider comes from.

I'd like to nominate Mad'at's zombies for the joker award.

I'd like to nominate Raven Torrids Zombie Dragon for the WTF! award. The posing and that idea are both something I've never seen before.

Dettol works excellent on plastic and metal, but don't let your finecast sit in it for too long. I've tested some leftover FC sprue and it became soft and bendy. Do wear gloves! Dettol really dries out skin. Once or twice I've had a sharp metal part of a mini tear open my glove and some of the...

The Shivering Isles, one of my favourite expansions. It's a really creative idea, but a bit tricky since Warhammer doesn't have much 'crystallized' armies. I suppose what you could use are Tau Ethereals with sculpted masks/shoulderpads or maybe even something like Eldar. Perhaps Mantics...

I ended up widening and especially deepening the holes in the bats and then filling them in with grey stuff, before pressing in the rod and letting it harden out. They sit very snugly on top of their sticks now. Ranking them up still is awful, but at least they won't fall off now :D

I second the Renedra gravestones, they're awesome. I like your summoning pit idea too! I used a spare doom wolf myself as a unit filler.

Thanks everyone! There are some highlights on the metal cloaks up to scorpion green, but I think they've been washed out a bit by an abundance of light on the picture. The banner on the CO Chariot is a little cheaty: I used the new transfer sheets that came with the Scourgerunner Chariot. I...

Scourgerunner Chariot

I have six metal fell bats and a bunch of those flying sticks, but I am slightly at a loss when it comes to attaching them in a way that's easy to transport but stable. I would prefer to attach the flying sticks securely to the bases, and have the bats loose and able to just snap on them. I...

Thank you! I started to work on a few zombies as well. I have to slog through 55 of them, so I'm keeping them relatively simple, with only highlighting the skin, heads and some detail. The base curves up slightly, which will probably be fixed once everything is magnetized when the unit's done...

There's an abundance of sweet old models in your thread, really nice to read through. Great job on cleaning them up too, it can be a pain!

Kamelot - Center of the Universe. Epica / The Black Halo are pretty awesome.
