My Undead Army!

[AutonomicCurve]

I am super new to Warhammer and Age of Sigmar and miniatures and painting. I was not having fun with Magic the Gathering anymore so I traded in my collection at my favorite LGS.

I got a good start on a Soulblight Gravelords army. Built most of it and primed it. I've started to do some painting and I'm really enjoying it. Can't wait to watch my improvements..

Thanks for looking. Ill post some pics of my progress soon

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Great, look forward to seeing what you have. They don't need to be painted either before you post, you can show us your work in progress builds etc

 

[AutonomicCurve]

Primed!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Looks like a great mix of models there - I love that vamp with the little bats flapping in the hair! Then you've got a nice mix of infantry, monstrous infantry and a great big zombie dragon! Any thoughts yet on your paint scheme?

Thank you!

I have more skeletons soldiers and knights to build as well. Necromancer and a Wight King on the way.

Gonna go with glowing green magical essence.

Primary colors for armor: blue main with red accents and yellow trim. Mud and moss and mushrooms for esthetics.

I like the "suggested" color scheme for the Vargheists, so it'll probably just turn out that way but my style. I have 1 started but bo pics yet

Ah the vamp with his little bat helpers - I always imagine him like a vampy snow white, singing along as he gets out of his coffin, the creatures of the knight squeaking back in tune as they help him do his fabulous hair!

You've got some create base coats there, ready for some shading! Have you tried any of the contrast paints, they do a great job out of the pot.

Hahaha that's great! And hilarious!

Thank you!
I tried a contrast blue to try to shade some shadowy areas.. didnt do much for me. I was gonna do some highlights with a lighter blue but forgot to buy one. Lol. Thought about just lightening this blue with some white tho....

I'm looking forward to see how you tackle that dragon, it's a very cool model!

Hey thanks! It is a pretty cool model. I want to do it different and my favorite color is red and I'm staying away from Red for the armor of the vampires and I figured I was going to do the dragon red start with it dark dark purple

 

[AutonomicCurve]

So I'm thinking about entering my Hand of Nagash in the Armies on Parade competition at my local Warhammer Store

 

[Seneschal]

Yeah go for it! It's a striking piece!

Yeah you might need a couple of passes, I find a solid basecoat followed by either doing washes and then highlights, or using the contrast paints creates a really good depth of colour

The dragon is probably one of my favourite new models that GW have produced, so yeah, I'm looking forward to see what you do with it as well!

The finished Hand of Nagash looks ace, particularly like the bone on this - let us know how you get on in the competition, good luck!

Thank you I really appreciate that. I ended up mixing some blue and white and did some highlights. So far I like that method for me better.



It is definitely a great model! I appreciate that I cant what to see how i do. I started my first coat of basecoat of purple but destroyed my brand new "The Psycho" brush. Lol

I didnt enter the competition. I feel like ot was sposed to be a whole army. Plus with other things going on in life i didnt have the time to spend all day at the warhammer store 1 hr from home

Introducing new chickens to my small flock and have a cemetery tour thing I'm preparing for that is this weekend

Honestly I just remembered I wanna highlight the red dragon in the shield. Lol

How's things going on your army AutonomicCurve? Any more progress?

Mostly working on my competition entry right now!!

I did buy a subscription box from warpcrate. They make you choose 3 factions with "Any" being an option. I chose Soulblight Gravelords, Gloomspite Gitz, and "Any". I choose to receive a box once every 3 months.

I received my package after about 9 days. I had my wife open it while I was gone... a unit of Vargheists!!

They were a little poorly painted. I gave them to my wife to paint up. She had one done up and a second started.

 

[The Sun King]

Looking awesome! Love the colour choices!

 

[AutonomicCurve]

Looking awesome! Love the colour choices!

Thanks! So I will have a total of 6 Vargheists all painted with a different scheme

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

It's really cool your wife is getting involved, does she collect as well or is she just interested in the painting side? I've not seen those subscription boxes, are they good value for money?

She is just interested in the painting side of things.

Well I got a whole unit of Vargheists for $35 so I'd say it was a pretty decent value. Just remember what you get will be random determined by your 3 picks. I got lucky 1st time off

I like the green wings, really helps make them stand out
