The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
That was an in-depth post! Condraculations on the wedding! And your new Tomb Kings conscript blows my mind. The wings really make him look like a different creature than his sandy cousin.
Your to-do list, well, stay strong soldier. There are a lot of things on that list I'm really interested in seeing from you. Especially in a stable shelf. Keep up the killer work!

Another fantastic vision created - I wasn't sure about it for a while, but finished it looks great!
Wow, that's quite a list! Which is why I've only just started doing one, now it's nice and short. It's good to be organised though.
Glad the cabinet is secure - if you keep putting huge models like this in it, it will need to be!

The Gunslinger
Skeleton
That is some messed up stuff right there, im worried it will haunt my dreams!
Great work, really amazing model!
Great work, really amazing model!
Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like him 
He isn't quite as I envisioned, but this works too 
@Nagash Worshiper Good that my fluff pieces are being read Putrid Blightnights will be an expansion for my Nurgle character - from a fluff standpoint that is. Maybe I'll find a use them somehow in a game, but either way - it'll be an interesting thing to paint The next project is something very different - two 54mm minis I'll put on my wedding cake - as I wrote in the previous post
@Adam_Barrow Thanks! As of now I don't have any more ideas about TK conscripts - and that's good, as this one took a crazy amount of work And seeing how much is still lef to do, I'll hope I'll be able to paint the entries you are waiting for before I die
@Shadespyre I'm glad I managed to convice you to him And the list, well - I'm keeping an eye on both german eBay and the polish equivalent and there's always something tempting to be bought...
@The Gunslinger Well, we are collecting vampire counts here, causing nightmares should be the goal Big thanks
Also, I posted him on Cool Mini Or Not HERE - throw a vote if you have a few moments to spare

@Borgnine Absolutely stunning work, your conversions just don't fail to impress. That orange-ish fur on his back is a nice offset to your palette, and looks somewhat slightly more subtle than the reddish fur you used on your wight king a few months back.
Great work all round, brilliantly painted and pulled off! Looking forward to seeing what you conjure up next

I blame it on the mini that I got distracted from the good news! Congratulations to the wedding! I wish you both all the best!

Another fantastic piece. Somehow you just keep churning out these amazing models! My favourite part is the skeleton and I like how you have him gripping the bars. At least he didn't leave any children behind to mourn him though. Thank goodness for small blessings. Nice fluff.
Also congratulations on your wedding.
I'm sure you'll have a great day. And after that, each day is better than the next

@Zhatan That's not the first time I hear this - maybe this yellow milliput just isn't very photogenic Thanks!
@Farmer7574 Thanks! That's also weird, because I painted his fur trying to copy the color I have on the Wight King - maybe it's the photo? Or I missed a tone or two
@Nagash Worshiper Well, I tend to be verbose in my posts, so I understand that some things can get omitted Thank you from us both
@Wolfrahm Big thanks! Glad you like them
@robtion They aren't getting done THAT fast, so I don't know if I really churn them out, but thanks Interesting how you find the good part of that 'childless' part - I thought rather about the negative part of extinguishing his lineage with this sacrifice Good to see another interpretations
As I said, I'm doing this wedding piece - but so far it's just watching greenstuff and milliput cure. Boring! In the meantime I started to glue my Coven Throne together - it seems like it will be fun to paint. I only need to find a good and interesting way to paint the spirit horde

Eh, lineage is overrated. I guess the glass is always half full with me
Not sure of your concept for the Coven Throne but the spirit horde is very easy to add to and build upon with extra bits and pieces, already being a bit of a mash as it is. Just food for thought

@robtion I am going shopping this saturday, to see if there are any cool minis and/or bits to incorporate
@Eilief I think this is the most common question on this plog And the answer is - both, actually! Funny, people are asking about rust when I try my hardest to promote my verdigris But well, that rust was quite good - if perhaps the only unit I'll ever have in this color scheme. Thankfully, I once described it in detail and posted here - you find it in THIS post.

Thankfully I realised it wouldn't have fit the warm red scheme I wanted, though it fits your cool swamp green
Thanks for the link, I clicked to a few pages before I figured I'd not be able to find it in a plog as long as this

@robtion I already thought about it - but it does pose some problems:
1. My etherals use green and blue - which gives something very similar to this turquouise verdigris - I was worried that it just wouldn't look as interesting. My Nagash uses both of these colours, but he has also lots of other things going on.
2. It's a fluff thing - I use verdigris armor on my wights and other ancient servants of the Death God to make them distinct amongst younger undead. Vampire countess and her coven throne is something else entirely
Still, thanks for the idea - I may try it after all on one of the Mortis Engines. Either way, it's still long to go - right now I'm having lots of fun assembling zombies

Painting minis for the cake is going good - so I do also undead stuff in the meantime. And do I try to finish all the unfinished entries in my index here? Of course not! I'm starting something new! Well, kinda An extension for my zombies - I have 65 and I want to have 250. It's all well planned, now I only have to assemble them all. I'll try to post only finished conversion and painted ones - but this one is turning rather interesting at this point, so I decided to share. A zombie troll to be used as a 40x40mm filler. I had only a head and some hands - I have to build the rest of it
I will be putting some muscles and skin on him, I only don't know where exactly, so I'm building him really from scratch

Looking cool. Just curious but are unit fillers also legal for the current challenge? If so I may add some and expand on my current entry(if I get time).
@Farmer7574 They are plenty cool, that's why I have a kit of them for my O&G - and I'm using spare parts here. This one will be a forest troll, but I thought that I could use them perhaps without converting later - there's plenty of water monsters in Slavic Mythology Thanks for the comment!
@robtion "Appropriate" fillers are allowed If a troll is not appropriate, then I'll have other zombies in my unit to satisfy the 5+ requirement. And please do so, fillers for that unit would be cool

Okay, converting is finished - zombie expansion unit is ready to be painted It was a hell of a ride - really fun to do. I don't know how much will be visible - I have a tripod for my camera now, but I think I chose the background wrong... But they are only WIPs, so it should be okay.
Photos of the whole unit - 20 little zombies worth:
And the single dudes in some closeups - all of them, without the Cursed Company dwarf, as he's not converted in any way

They look really great. I can see you had a lot of fun with these, they each have their own little story and plenty of character, kind of like your Crypt Ghouls. I especially like the troll and guy with no arms. Very Monty Python-esque.
They will look fantastic painted
