Adam Barrow - Disturbing The Peace Of The Dead

[Duke Danse Macabre]

Once again this thread just adds more hobby sexyness.
STOP MAKING ME LOOK BAD DAMN IT!

On another note I really love that base you got as well, can you link the company that do them mate?

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Tjhammer Thanks! I think he's gunna be awesome. And top of the paint schedule after some Zombos.

@benvoliothefirst My checklist for this summer is much shorter, and has no less than 3 Rare choices, so it's gunna be a blast. Thanks for popping back here! And for the kind words.

@Duke Danse Macabre You beat me in being prolific by a mile. Keep at that grind, homie. The Angel's base comes from a co. called Basicks. Came from ebay, mine.

Built some ish tonight. And I'm here to show off what's come in the mail lately.

Casket is from Reaper. Wayy cheap. And I'm waiting on some ghosts and the necro for it. He's gunna be weapons grade.

I did not like building these two dudes down here. But they make cool Casket Guard.

Also, I broke down and bought a Bone Giant. Just in case, and since it's an Undead Legions option. Pictured next to the first model I ever painted, over a decade ago. For scale and lulz.

I'll be painting sooner than later. Thanks for coming in.

Looking good there Mr Barrow. Look forward to seeing them painted

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@robtion Thanks! How ya been, mate? Good to see you around.

More Casket work tonight. This guy looks like he commands evil spirits, right? Ratty familiar is Abom kit. Head, belt scroll, and hourglass are Flagellants. Skull belt buckle from ol Skellies banner. Staff top from Empire Wizard.

Just waiting on payday to order some ghosts and then this bad boy is bought and paid for. Almost there!

[jediguru]

Excellent looking casket. Can't wait to make mine.

 

[robtion]

He looks really great! Love the familiar and posing. Top notch converting

I've been in lock down mode for the last 4 months due to our second (and last!!) child turning up. Kids and work have me barely surviving currently but I have a project I'm hoping to start in the next few months so will hopefully be raising some new undead soon.

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@jediguru It was great fun. This model is a bash of 9 kits. Phew.

@robtion Congratulations! Glad to hear you're holding up way down there. I'm looking forward to some more bonkers work in your plog, too.

Just popping in to drop this off. The Spirits mark this model finished.

There's 2/3 of my Rares assembled for my Undead Legions. SpooOoOOoky!

It took all of his eldritch cunning, and not an insignificant amount of luck to wrest the divine soul of the Angel of Death back into its corporeal remains. The Good Doctor secreted away his wineskin full of the Angel's blood into his voluminous robes. No sense in sharing such a rare vintage with his thralls, afterall.

With a peel of cackling laughter the ancient Necrarch hissed through his razored teeth,

"Arise, Ohuin. Kings' End, Sweet Death. And continue your work for me."

Here he is, sinners. Ohuin, my undead Angel of Death, the Good Doctor's Heirotitan.

Thanks for looking. Up next is either Mantic Zombos or my Casket.

Ohh, that's really nice! I've wanted to use that model in my army but never knew what to use it as. =)
The pheonix wings works really well with the color theme, good job.

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@ObliviJohn Thanks! It was super fun. He's one of those models who turned out just how I wanted.

Finally got an evening to myself, so I worked on my Casket a bit. His ratty, the hourglass, and a few other things need work, but the Casket Necro is almost finished.

Hopefully I can get at it again this weekend. School is murder lately. The tournament in June keeps getting closer.

[Zacharias]

Hey Adam, where did you get the base that the casket sits on, love the conversion!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Zacharias Thanks, mate. The base is the plinth the statue of Morr stands on from the Garden of Morr set.

Also, love your screen name. Team Necrarch!

 

[Zacharias]

Ughhh I had a feeling you were going to say that and now I'm tempted to buy the whole garden of Morr set.

Loving your work, keep it up.

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Zacharias It's a great kit. I'm tempted to pick up a second one. And thanks again. Undead Legions blindsided me, so I'm back at painting undead instead of Skaven. Two and a half models to go before 2015: The Rattening commences.

 

[Hutobega]

I want to use your idea for my casket of souls! Looks like its going to be amazing!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Hutobega Use it all you like. I've taken ideas from all over the place in this army. Glad you like it! I'll be working on it more this evening, actually, if I can round off this anthropology research paper.

 

[Hutobega]

ANTHROPOLGY!? I have a bachelors in it haha!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Hutobega Me too, after this semester. Biological emphasis, naturally, because skeletons are my jam.

 

[Hutobega]

I was in archaeology mostly but did a lot of bio and cultural really just took it all in. my girlfriend is in Montana and getting her master in Biological anthropology (Mostly forensics)

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Hutobega Forensic was a blast. I loved playing with bones.

Managed a bit of base coloring tonight (didn't get around to finishing up those last details on the Necro). Doesn't look like much, but this is turning out to be one of those models that won't be dope until the last two steps--the Bob Ross effect as my homie calls it. Hard to believe I'm so close to finishing the models for this year's list. I was worried since school is taking up all of my time not spent at work. Still, a couple more sessions on the Casket and I'll be on to the Mortis Engine. Here's tonight's work. Stay tuned for new hotness on it soon.

Nice job on that casket, your army is pretty unique and cool. Keep up the good work!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Farmer7574 Thanks! This second push for a tournament is almost done. Glad you like what you see.

 

[Hutobega]

LOVE IT!

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@Hutobega Cheers! It's getting there.
