This model has taken me forever to get finished. I think I first purchased and began work on it back in August of 2014! I spent a lot of time initially working on the magnetizing and alterations to make both heads work and the wings be removable. I also spent quite a bit of time on the base construction. Painting for Warmachine/Hordes leagues are to blame as well for taking so long to finish this model. However, it is finally finished and I'm very pleased with how it has turned out. Here are a few pics and you can see a whole bunch more here.

You should post this to Unholy Masterpieces, because it definitely qualifies.

I'm trying to get my two Warhammer armies done as well as get all the models I own painted by year's end. Did this unit up in about 7 hours. Painting all the bone bits really slowed me down. They were fun to paint though. I love painting gory models.

I don't think I've seen such all-dark-grey wolves - it works great with the dark red flesh and the light bones - very nice unit :thumbsup: I also looked through the rest of your plog briefly - the Terrorgheist really sets itself apart! So very smooth and well highlighted ;) The conversion of the reaper ghosts' faces is also awesome and clever!

Thanks very much the compliments.
The mostly grey wolves was in part by design and part laziness. ;) So many of these dire wolves I think just look silly when the exposed flesh is painted in flesh tones. I think it works better if the flesh is closer in color to the fur rather than super contrasted from the exposed muscle and fur.
 
Good to see you back after such a break! ;)

You pulled off the red on the skeletons really well! I always struggle with the right hue, here it works great! Scratches really add to them, while being such a simple of an addition :thumbsup:

Also, an interesting replacement for Crypt Horrors you have there. Proper barbarians :) They don't look much undead, but they fit with the rest of your army very good.
