I also think that you did a good job with the rust and you should be happy:thumbsup:

I like and headless horsmen is my idea for army battlestandard that is always cooooool :thumbsup::ghost:
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 20-05-10)

Thanks for the kind words. I think its very easy, well for me anyway, to see some of the amazing minis people put up here, get full of good ideas and enthusiasm and then get a bit downhearted when things I paint dont turn out as I hoped. Got to try and remember the glass is a half full and all that. xD
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 20-05-10)

Certainly don't put yourself down. Those converted knights are some of the best I have seen. Great conversions and great paint job. The bases are also well done :thumbsup:
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 20-05-10)

Loving your work sir! You've managed to make the terrible GW bats look great and I've not seen the empire knights box used so well. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more.

Hehe. Those Black Knights are awesome. That guy on the far right of the unit is looking up at his lance like:

"D'oh! Need to point that down."

-time goes by-

"D'oh! Forgot to point it down."

Im grateful he managed to get the pointy bit the right way round xD

I finally decided I needed to get some characters for my army done. Jeez, I would rather do skeletons any day of the week, I really struggle with the blending and the thinning paint down thing. I seem to be able to manage three stages, paint, unnoticably different thinned paint, then pure water. Anyways first is my Lahmian thrall/Necro stripper

The pictures aren't great as my cameras acting up again but Im quite happy with her. There are things I'm not to pleased with, mainly my clumsy sword swap and leaving flash on her ribs :slapface: I think its nearly done apart from maybe more symbols on her sash and blood on the sword?

Next is a stalled WIP for another vampiress that was going ok until I dropped her and bent her staff. Luckily it only bent and didnt snap but when I straightened it, the paint flaked off. Then I put skull white on to it and made it worse :swear:

GGGRRRRRRRRRrrrrrr

I don't know wether to strip it and start again beacuse of the damage and the flesh paint is a bit thick. Its annoying because I really liked the back of the cloak. However worse things happen at sea. Anyways, thanks for looking and as usual all feedback is really appreciated.
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 29-05-10)

those are nice simple conversions for your vampires, looking pretty good, i think maybe they could use a wash over them to add a little more depth, more on the skin and the red cloths of the second one, the whirling affect looks really good.
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 29-05-10)

I've just finished five of my dire wolves. I tried to do them a mixture of the great tutortial here on Capre Noctem and some closer to the GW colour scheme. Im quite pleased with them but they are bit of a bastard to paint. Next time I won't put them on the bases before I try and do inside the ribs. Anyways...

Hopefully the pics are better than last time, I cant seem to get them consistent. Here is a pic of my Wight King standard bearer that I started yesterday. He is based on Wulfik (thanks to Skeletor for the idea) with a head swap and the chaos icons removed.
ai1026.photobucket.com_albums_y328_mungatron2000_standard.webp

I will call him pointy head until I think of a better name. Finally is a pic of my vampiress very slow work in progress. I stuck with it and am kinda glad I did as im slowly working up the hair and face. The dress is next I guess.

As always any feedback/comments are cherished and loved and put in a special box.

Wolves look very well. I like the eyes. Sometimes vibrant eyes can lift the model, especially considering the traditional palette of most undead is quite sombre. Redarmy27 does a great job of glowing eyes on his own army. The vampire is coming along nicely. I always take a while over characters, sometimes going so far as to repaint them. My trusty old Nosferato Thomas Von Carstein is on his third repaint.
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 12-06-10)

The wolves are really nice painted, as mrsaturday says (I really want to go and edit his name to Mr Saturday!) they eyes are superb! The vamp looks very good - even without the glowing eyes I think her face is very well done.
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 12-06-10)

The one upside of hayfever and stupid summer is that I can stay in and paint more. Here is a quick update on my wight king banner bearer guy.
ai1026.photobucket.com_albums_y328_mungatron2000_pointy1.webp

I've just blocked him in with colour and will start the washes tonight. Im not sure I should have left the chaos style shoulder pad but its a bit late to worry about it now. I also didnt realise how big he was until I tried ranking him up with my graveguard.
ai1026.photobucket.com_albums_y328_mungatron2000_pointy.webp

The other thing I've been working on is making the banner for him. Im going to paint it onto paper as I really hate trying to do any freehand onto anything not flat. Here is my planned design for it.
ai1026.photobucket.com_albums_y328_mungatron2000_verberden006_1.webp

Its meant to be a play on george killing the dragon. Hopefully it will work when I scale it down. I tried a couple designs for a personal banner for more suited for him but I like the idea better that he is just a lumbering lunk gifted to the sisters Verderben so he has to bloody well carry what he's told. Anyways thanks for looking!
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 17-06-10)

Love the idea for the WK!

Really makes him stand out in his big bulky armor, would love to see the finished paintjob.

The banner has one thing that really struck me, and thats the guy..

He looks like Robocop. I'd personally have his helmet open and just a shadow covering his face, but I'm no artist, just an observer.

Argh, I see what you mean! I'll put a jar of babyfood in the corner :lol: I'll have to give it some thought, thankyou :thumbsup:
 
RE: Nikos army log (updated 17-06-10)

I really like the use of Wulfik as your wight king, if i had already used him for a Khorne hero i might be tempted to to try that!
