    Just my Undead

    Glazing always sounds easy, especially as you usually just use few colors. However, transitions can be hard. Achieving a smooth appearance depends on color and object but with a bit of practice it's manageable. However, applying it correctly in order to produce a realistic effect is a bit like...

    Just my Undead

    Oh, that banner is just incredible. Can you maybe elaborate a bit on your technique, please? Especially how you painted the slabs of green stone?

    Great looking models! I like the dark/weathered but simultaneously clean look. Very nice!

    Thanakhton Rising! A Tomb Kings paintlog

    Oh, wow. I love NMM done right - but I rarely see such great work on RnF models. Very nice unit!

    New Common Magic Items (from next AJ)

    I copied this from a thread with the same name from Axiem (ulthuan.net) who had it from the video from the guys from Squarebased.

    Old World News

    Especially the "factions old and new" part got me excited for my Vampires. But lets see if they really were talking about legacy factions. Fingers crossed.

    AoS - 3rd AoS News Thread

    Wow. Prince Vhordrai + 10 Blood Knights + 3 Bats for € 200, instead of € 310 if bought on their own. I should have waited with my purchase earlier this fall (now I have no need for that many bats and knights)...

    The Old World Best Vampire Counts models?

    I can only jump the GW-bandwagon (sorry to say as they are getting more and more expensive). The modern models of gravelords, flesh eater courts, and night haunt are fantastic and, as prince Vhordrai shows, are even getting better. Thank you for the pictures of them ranked up. I am currently...

    Old World News

    Maybe and hopefully you are right. They have a lot of stuff in a kind of fantasy setting that they only need to supply with both square and round bases in order to make dual-use kits. As of now, they don't seem to want it be done as there are currently different models coming out for chaos, high...

    1000 Points Tutorial List (Old World - Vampire Counts)

    Maybe the mad and self-important necromancer riding his throne on a bunch of ghosts let loose his vampiric but degenerate creation (using a vengorian lord model). Or maybe the vampire used his political puppet as general so he can wreck carnage while not having to work out how to command a...

    Old World News

    For official support and arcane journals for vampires that's bad news, I guess. However, the current book is good, especially considering the usual meta. We'll see how the legacy factions will be supported in case of a second edition. That being said, I am very happy with the stuff that came...

    1000 Points Tutorial List (Old World - Vampire Counts)

    I was eager using the Renegade pack but increasing the vampire count's leadership to 9 prevents using a master necromancer as general and still being able to field a vampire count. This is quite restrictive as I wanted to run a MN on mortis engine and a VC on abyssal terror.

    How many casters?

    A Level 4 Death would be an optimal solution. Someday I am planning on trying a list with a SGK and a MN and 2 ME. Unfortunately I am lacking in most of the models needed for such a list so it's my old BK bus/deathstar list atm, hence no MN. I think I will go for my old approach and stay...

    How many casters?

    I don't know if IoN is that important. Of course, getting 5 BK back with one cast of IoN is really annoying for any opponent but with that many useful spells (of both lores, death and vampires) I often found myself using my power dice for other spells. And if he fears my level 4 VL casting IoN...

    How many casters?

    Hey everyone! I came up with the idea (actually it's not my idea since a lot of people are running similar lists) of using a level 4 VL (general, so he is using lore of vampires) and 2 level 2 (one vampire and one necro) death casters in a Black Knight bus. I was thinking I nedd the level 4 for...

    Coven Throne Tactica

    Yes, BRB p. 105: "A chariot mount follows the rules for ridden monsters, save for the fact that a chariot does not need to take a Monster Reaction test if the character is slain."

    Coven Throne Tactica

    This brings me to my point: could you post your list and some strategic advice on how you plan your units should interact? If you don't want to post it maybe you could give some advice on what units would be good to have. Thanks! I wanted to use the CT since I started VC bc of the great...

    My first attempt at directional lighting and ethereal (wraith)

    As I've said, I'm a really slow painter. Maybe 2 hours was a bit optimistic but it definitely hadn't been more than 3. The techniques used are quite easy and fast to apply. Hence I was even more impressed of the outcome. Thank you very much for your feedback. I appreciate each and every...

    Movement trays / regimental bases

    I use magnets. And I love them. When you are looking for a cheap way to a) get movement trays, b) hold the models in place during a game and c) carry them to your local gaming store, these little magnets are gold. I use little cylindrical neodymium magnets with a diameter of 2mm and a height...

    My first attempt at directional lighting and ethereal (wraith)

    A sword and a good pose is more than GW ghosts have. ^_^
