my vamp log

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

righto, i'm new to the business of raising the dead, so bear with me, also my painting isnt all that good, average table top standard at best, anyway heres a pic of what i've painted so far

ask for close ups if you want them cos im lazy lol

 

[Girathon]

Looks great!! I demand close-ups!!
I really like the purple skin on your zombies (I was fooling around with something similar when I was going to paint them).

Just post those closer shots and we can give some C&C.

Cheers,

G

oh! I really like the eyes and the armor of the vamp, how did you create the whip?

 

[The Inspector]

Is that Lucius' whip?

Great start to a steadily growing army.

 

[The Dark Sheep]

Really like the Zombie colours. Can you post how you painted that skin? Your characters look great and original.

 

[Loran]

Yeah, they look really cool Especially the Vampire.

How'd you do paint the Spirit Hosts?

- Loran

 

[Zephyr]

Like the vamp with Lucius the Eternal' whip. I play Emperors Children in 40K so I immediately recognized it.
And don't be too hard on yourself because your painting really isn't that bad. I like the purplish zombies.

 

[Kaptain Von]

No, not that bad at all! I'd say the characters are mid to high tabletop standard - not sure about the Zombies. A photo from the front may help there.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Great paint job, I second to see a close up pic of the front of the zombies

 

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

hey guys thanks for the comment, bought my book today, instantly loved the workability of it!so i slapped on the soundtrack from 300 and set about constructing a 1000ish point list,

paint tutorial
zombie flesh
basecoat mix of codex grey liche purple dark angels green and dwarf fkesh(all equal parts)
highlight by adding bleached bone and hey presto cold clammy skinned zombies!

spirit host, spray white
liberally wash with watered down dark angels green,highlight skull white(it really is that simple!)

frontal pic of zombies, enjoy!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Excellent, the zombie far right is absolutely fantastic!

 

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

thanks DoN, think ill finish my strigoi today, also do the last few highlights on the necromancer, and try out a new flesh shade on the zombies

[lord marcus]

why is the varguf on a round base?

 

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

ease of painting,its only pinned on it, done a scenic base for it just to make it that little bit taller

[Disciple of Nagash]
