Sessioni's project eternal: Skeletons, first batch

[Sessioni]

Still some shading/washing to do, but it is almost done! Can't wait to get my hands on Zacharias.

 

[Sessioni]

Finished the dragon today! Washes left too much shininess to my taste, but overall I'm happy how this came out. It was a hard model to paint, lots of bone, flesh and skin bits here and there, I think I missed some bony bits, but it's not too visible. Now the fun part, Zacharias

 

[Borgnine]

You posted the finished version after I clicked on your thread to comment, that was a surprise A good one! It's a cool dragon and well painted - gore looks especially nice. Reminds me of the one GW had on their webpage long time ago

As for the glossiness - there's always matt varnish or Army Painted 'Anti-Shine'

 

[Theerteen]

Nice dragon. The model is neat indeed, but I don't like the right foot pose. I fixed it with a sarcophagus But you ZD looks very well, a nice piece of rotting, but still mighty meat!

 

[Sessioni]

@Borgnine Yea, I have ASF Thanks for the comments lads! Ah, the old GW site and all their conversion, tactics and painting tips. Not to forget the bits mail order, good times. I should buy some matt varnish, I haven't actually varnished any of my models, so far the paint hasn't ripped off, but for the gloss reasons I should start varnishing. @Theerteen I know what you mean, the posing is like the 6th edition Lord of Changes' crazy ADHD jumping kind of pose

Love this model, it's one of those I sold when I rebooted my army. You've done a nice job on the dragon, leaving it not too busy so the rider will stand out nicely.

 

[Sessioni]

Thanks @Shadespyre I will post pics of the rider soon, it is already finished But now I have something completely similar:

Varghulf ready for battle! It was almost like painting the zombie dragon, but smaller

 

[Farmer7574]

@Sessioni Cool 'Vargulf', it's got a bit of a natural terminator appearance to it with those patches of exposed bones and glinting eye Nice work.

 

[Borgnine]

Nice job! He seems to be close in size to a normal Varghulf, good to know And he really looks kinda like your dragon I would probably add some blood on the bones too, but that dry version is also very much cool

 

[Sessioni]

@Farmer7574 Thanks! Hahah, I didn't realize the terminator eye/bone -thing Once seen can never be unseen!
@Borgnine Thank you too! I think the model's size is alright for varghulf, but it could be larger. I will consider adding some blood on it, I kinda think the same.

Here's my Black Knights! I painted them super-fast 3 days before a tournament! (missed the CN-competition for 1 day tho) No conversions whatsoever, I just needed three units of 5 black knights. Yes, I have 10 black knights already, but since I had so little time, I could not start converting the missing 5 from bretonnia knights, so I just used empire and bretonnia knights and painted them as seen, spooky Maybe I'll fix some lazy highlights some day, but they look ok on the tabletop tho!

 

[Sessioni]

Here they are fighting some Infernal Dwarves! (the fire bird things totally destroyed my horde)

 

[Borgnine]

Well, that's good about VC, ghosts always work Infernal Dwarves, that's KoW? Evil stunties have birds there?

 

[Sessioni]

9th Age actually Maybe they are called Infernal Dwarves in KoW also! Yeah they have these demonic burning flyer things, monstrous infantry plus a load of special rules. I am not sure how they are described in the "official fluff" but this guy used burning birds
Kadim Incarnates they are called.

 

[Sessioni]

Hello! Long time no ocean! I have been super busy again, school, life and miniature projects too! I just finished my army for the Midlands GT 2017, and thought to post some pictures for you guys!

[Adam_Barrow]

Awesome! Woulda had my vote for favorite army hands down. Zacharias and ghosts everywhere, nails it for me.

 

[Sessioni]

Thanks a lot @Adam_Barrow I kinda have a thing for ghosts

 

[Nagash Worshiper]

That army is looking very good! Very nice theme! Good luck with the competition!

 

[Sessioni]

Thanks @Nagash Worshiper

While I'm at it, here's a pic of all my painted units! Altho the big dragon's wings aren't painted.

 

[Nagash Worshiper]

Magnificent! I love to zoom in on an army and wander through the units! The overall look of the army is very good and matching colours!

 

[Shadespyre]

Such an impressive sight reminds me that I still need to assemble my own army for a big picture....

 

[Farmer7574]

@Sessioni Great to see you back, very impressive army shot - the ethereals stand out like a sore thumb (as they should!). Brilliant work.

 

[Borgnine]

What a magnificent army! It looks coldly menacing even on such a table I like how one can immediately spot the vampires and etherals. Since when are you working on this? Also, what's the deal with those wide sides for the unit trays? It looks plenty good, but isn't it cumbersome when gaming and needing to actually touch other units?

 

[Theerteen]

Great army shot, you made a big achievement assembling this horde of Undead! I like it, and I'll take it as motivation to finish mine in the next time!

 

[robtion]

Great looking army The giant looks particularly cool, always wanted to get one of those. Maybe one day.

 

[Farmer7574]

@robtion I recommend the giant kit - lots of cool bits to use on it and you get a giant too... Still not sure what to do with mine though
