RE: Blackbard's Undead PLOG ~

I commented on your blog once I found it, but thought I should share my thoughts here as well... I'm in love with your wolves. It's obvious that you spent a lot of time doing research and coming up with an optimal color scheme and it works beautifully.

The Warhammer Quest arch is very original... although my color deficiency keeps me from making an accurate guess as to the color scheme, it looks almost etherial to me. Those arches are definitely not from HeroQuest though, unless you got a second hand kit from someone and they mixed parts. Warhammer Quest is phenomenal though, if you don't already own a set I'd recommend you get one, and then I want to see you painting all of Battle Levels 1-10!

Keep up the great work, and I'll keep checking in. But you can skip all this high elf nonsense. Nobody wants to see that, great as they are painted. More shambling thingies!

RE: Blackbard's MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

LOL Thank you Benvoliothefirst! I will try to stay way from the elves for a while. Can't say I wont try and see what some of them look like dead/undead...but for now, MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES! (p.s. Brahm seemed to like his new model!):zombie:
A Unit filler. D&D skeleton ogre and a skeleton Orc from GW.

The last 2 wolves. Just a few details left to finish. The eyes, claws and feet pads. The unit looks killer all together!

And lastly a ghast for my ghoul unit.

And very, very lastly, I FINALLY got my mantic zombies in and will eventually start putting them together. Brahm and I were wondering about the size though...they look like they might be a slightly different size. Does anyone have them both and is able to comment on that or post some photographic evidence?
Cheers, Bard

Looking great! I really like GW's new wolves and your paintjob!!

 

[Raven Torrid]

RE: Blackbard's Undead PLOG ~

Exactly what glenning said. Your paintjob really brings the wolves to life, they look stunning!

 

[Konrad the Blooded]

RE: Blackbard's Undead PLOG ~

I really like how you painted those wolves they are such nice models.

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Another fan of the wolves here, professional looking paint job. :|

Also really digging the muddy looking corpse cart converted necromancer on the barrels. The corpse cart is great and I like how the brown rats stand out.

That is the only paintjob I have seen on a crypt horror that I actually like, as I'm not a fan of the mini itself. Nice one.

Also great looking S Ghoul King. Oh and the rust on the skellies. To sum up everything looks amazing.

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

@glenning: Thanks G! Got another 5 I will take a crack at once more stuff has been put together!
@Raven Torrid: Cheers! Appreciate the compliment!
@Konrad the Blooded: Thankyou...I agree. The moment I saw them I scrapped my mouldy dead wolves for them. So much better!!
@robtion: Lol! Thank you for all the compliments! Seriously, the wolves were easy to do. The necromancer turned out pretty good, but I think I will go for slightly darker colours next one I paint up. As for the crypt horror, thanks! The second one is getting there very slowly. Not sure what the problem is getting him done, he just seems to have taken a lot longer!
@von Rosentod: Cheers, thank you.
@benvoliothefirst:
@Johnny-Crass: I am complimented! Slightly scared to take the wolves out of the cabinet around 11 year old boys now, but still complimented!
@Brahm Tazoul::lol:

And now onto something else: I present to you, the first unit of 40 SWORD AND BOARD!!

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

How did you paint your skeletons? they look awesome I love the tone that you achieved with the bones!

 

[Raven Torrid]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Great as usual. Nice rust effect, will be stealin' it!

 

[Johnny-Crass]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

The Skellies are fantastic and their shields are brilliant!

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Great looking unit, especially with the unit fillers.

But I can't help to feel that the banner is missing something... like a skull on top of it :tongue:

 

[desfer]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Some great looking units you have! Clean work on everything. I really like your skeletons. Good job

 

[Blackbard]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

@Konrad: Cheers, they were really easy. The goal of this army is to make them as easy as possible while looking good on the table. Check out this link for a how to... Skeleton guide
@Raven Torrid: Thank you! Check out the blog link if you need the actual guide for the rust.
@J-C: Thank you Jhonny!
@Mad'At: Hehe, why do you think that particular fellow is part of the banner? He can't let anyone know he hates being a banner without a head, now can he? :skull:
@Desfer: Thank you!! I hope the next unit (50 spears) looks as good! (sorry Mad'At...I plan on another banner with no skull again!)

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Excellent looking work on the skeleton unit!

 

[Konrad the Blooded]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

wow that is pretty simple! thanks alot I will try to get some pics in the painting section once I get my first lot painted Im gonna pick that primer next weekend!

 

[Daoshi]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Excellent rust on the skeletons. The weathering is very apparent and really fits the piece.

Dem WOLVES ! :|

Truly amazing work. There was some effort put into researching the colour variants for their pelts. Unbelievable work of which I have never even considered doing! I may have to do some research myself now ! Thanks for the great inspiration !!!

 

[Blackbard]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

@Santawraith: Thank you!
@Konrad: Can't wait to see the results!! Its always a beautiful thing when you can save a major step in the process.
@lillilllliililllil: Cheers. The wolves have been a hit. And yes, google images never got such a good work out as they did looking for good angles on wolves!

On a side note, a friend of mine wanted to try a warband style game this summer and we decided to give Dark-Age miniatures a go. I choose the "Brood". Let me know what you think. This one is called "Mandible".

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Where is that model from? :|

 

[Blackbard]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Dark-Age

They have been around for a while, but have started to get popular again by the looks of things...Also they just put up a new website.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Blackbard's Undead - MORE SHAMBLING THINGIES!

Mandible is eerie, and aweinspiring, and...
I need to go clean up now.

*ahem*

How big is he, blackbard? With a little converting, he'd be a great undead... something.
