Ahhh it's the orange glaze that's setting off the gold, I knew you must have done something to it but I couldn't work out quite what! Looks great.

Thanks for the huge reply! If you don't mind one more question, can I ask how you did the cloth on the black knight's horse?


BTW FYI I use Tamiya orange clear + valejjo glaze medium for the glaze

hmm cloth is a mixture of colours -

black 20% 40% warlock purple 40% scab red.

Badab black wash

reapply base coat then:

add kommando khaki for successive hogilights - pure khaki as extreme highlight.

In order to get the consistency of colour every time i paint, i premix all my paints in old gw pots

Just finished my 20 graveguard (to be used as regular skeletons last night! hopefully base them and post a pic this weekend (shields not done yet though)
 
Those Blood Knights look really cool, and the bases make them look even better. The bronze armour looks good although I prefer red Blood Knights. Can't wait to see the banner finished.
 
magnificent work mate! and thank you for your kind comments on my army too! i've asked you this in my plog too, but just in case you don't see it... did you enter that wight king in the last national painting comp in gw dublin?

yup that was me i liked how it came out so much i decided to paint an army!
 
here is a pic of my skeletons (I am using grave guard models as rank and file skeletons)

I resized it a little small but you get an idea.

You're using Grave Guard as regular skeletons!?
Win. xD
I wish the picture was a little bigger, through, so I could enjoy the models better, but with the epic zooming capabilities of my computer I can make out some of the detail. These look awesome, and I look forward to seeing more!

Lovely work. The metal colours are just beautiful. What will you be using for GG then?


well at the moment im painting 2k army to a deadline for a couple of upcoming tournaments so no GG in my list. for the theme of the army the GG models are exactly what i want for skeletons.

As i expand the army beyond 2000 points ill no doubt add a unit of regular skeletons to the army.
 
Yay, more!
There isn't much more I can say about your models that I haven't already said, but I love the champion of this unit; the Corpse Cart spear really makes him stand out and marks him as someone that you wouldn't want to deal with.
 
Those are awesome! The conversions you've pulled off are totally sweet! Archaon's steed!? Nice!
I can't express enough how awesome your models are, syrme. I'm looking forward to seeing that second vampire done, he looks like he's going to be pretty cool.
