My Vampire counts army - with a dash of blues...:)

[Zeleck]

That army is brilliant. I'm very jealous of the Black Knights especially. I am still in the process of painting my first army and im focusing on neatness. I hope I'll be painting like that one day!

Incidently how long have you been painting for?

The giant rock on the Varghulf's base is a particularly nasty kidney stone that I passed. The creator of this army just borrowed it for his varghulf.

:| That was confusing... Do you have any more of them, I want to steal the idea.

Bear in mind guys this plog hasn't been updated in a while, so it is doubtful whether you will get an answers to your questions.

Great work. Do you have anything else to paint? It would be great to see more of your figures, those ones look brilliant!

Oh, and I had something to ask: what is that giant rock on the Varghulf's base made of? Is it polystyre? Or a real rock?

As my sig states, I do commissions. So yeah, I'm working on a lot of stuff right now. Sorry all for not updating this thread, mainly because I've taken a step back from gaming and am concentrating on my work.

I will be posting a couple of my newer works on the Faces of Our Next Meal forums, because i just finished a couple more Mordheim warbands. Also, I've been planning to put up a site with my work and my contacts, so stay tuned for that too.

How long have I been painting? For somewhere around 6 years as i recall.

That rock is made out of modeling clay and then filed down and sculpted for the varghulf to stand on. I had to re-sculpt/convert him to stand there this way.

Wow I wish I had half the skill you do so I could copy those spirit hosts

 

[Kirgan]

You just need some clay, some basic sculpting skills (i'm talking torsos and clothes) and some bits for hands a faces. It's mostly creativity, in my humble oppinion.

The hardest bit is the wiring. You have to make a "skeleton" under your green stuff. That's something most miniaturists are not accustomed to and is considered "advanced". Otherwise, it's good clean fun.

WOW!!
Those are some nice models.
The only thing I dislike about the entire army is the black coaches horses, the rest is just beautiful!

I'm a massive fan of blue when it comes to painting (my Eldar army will attest to that) and it's really nice to see a fatastic looking blue army!

Keep up the good work,

P.S. I hear mention of an EotG, any pictures up by chance?
gotta' love them Lizards:tongue:

 

[Hutobega]

wow how do you do those banners...I just started trying to "draw" and paint banners and mine...well suck compared to yours...just wow is all i have for this army.

 

[BustedBrush]

Freehands just require practice. I guess I'm kind of lucky because I have a degree in graphic design, so the whole thing feels very natural with relatively little practice.


Here's a pro tip for you: draw your freehand banners with a pencil first. Yes, paint it ON THE BANNER ITSELF. The contours and the shapes you paint over w your brush should be much easier to handle. Plus, keep your background color simple. It will help you A LOT because all the corrections you do will be way way easier.

Hope this helps.
