The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Whoa whoa, stop the presses. Have we seen that sandstorm tornado model yet?? You holdin' out on us?!
Ah ah, no you haven't seen it yet 
It's an old model that I made back in 6th edition, for the Cloak of the Dune/Scorpion Armour combo (and that was to be used only for a single game). I can take some picture of it if you want, but that'll have to wait after I finish my batch of Ushabti I'm working on

Update time!
I did some more Ushabti, one batch of 2 that I didn't posted here yet, and just finished a batch of 4 after that.
And all of the painted Ushabti together;
And for Adam_Barrow, here's the tornado King;

That tornado King is fantastic! How did u create the tornado? I really like it. Very creative. Excellent work! 
I'm also interested in how you made the tornado, it's incredible Easily the most realistic wind effect I've seen!

Indeed! This is truly unique! How did you do it?
Glad you guys like it 
How I made it was quite simple. I used a metal rod for the basic shape, then used some 2-part epoxy putty from the hardware store to fill the tornado and scult the basic shape. Then I made the additional prong by pinning a metal rod and more putty. I then cut some excess here and there to get the shape I wanted.
The King inside is removable, he stand on a seperate piece/sand column (also removable) that you can kinda see in the pics, and I never glued them, in case I needed him to be on a 20mm base or something like that. I converted the King to make him look more airborn, so he's pretty much unusable outside of the tornado, but it was quite fun to do

Tornado King is too cool, man. Really fun modelling there. I show your plog to people who don't even play Warhammer because I think it's the kinda work that explains some of the obsession. Very well done.
Wow, thanks for that, very flattering 
A little something I did parallel to the Ushabti:
I'm now waiting some new paints to continue the Ushabti, so in the meantime, I moved to another project: pimpin' my Chariots!
It's a mold I made with Instant Mold and did 2 cast to try it out. Those Chariot's crossbar were annoying me, sitting there on the back of the horses, so I made some kind of saddle/harness for them. As you can see there's a notch on it for the bar to slot in, and so far it's working (all Chariots are already assembled so I hoped it would fit)!
I'll try to cast enough for all my Chariots as I wait for my paints, that's some 24 horses that need an upgrade, so I have some work to do! Maybe I'll try to paint a character or two also between drying time.

Hehe, so you made the sandstorm pretty much exactly like I made the tree in my necromancer diorama then. Good to know the technique works for many things, thanks! Great looking chariot conversion as well, it's a huge improvement over the original

Yes, pretty much the same technique, but on a smaller scale than your tree
For the rest, thanks guy, glad you like it
Finally, I managed to finish my mighty (at least visually!) horde of Ushabti
Making a horde of monstrous infantry was quite cool, and thanks to that I had a urge for more, so I ordered enough of Mantic upcomming Werewolves to have a horde of "Crypt Ghouls" eventually too

Finished some characters to take a break from big units!
First are my 2 Necrotects;
Next is Apophas, though the pictures quality suck. You can't really see the subtle colors of the scarabs, they're metalic with some green, blue and pinkish tint on them.

I agree with Santa. I don't think I have ever seen our undead cousins looking this good before. :O
@MIOUM: Any chance you will be painting a coven throne for your vamps any time soon? I have a feeling that the combination of your skills with that model would be something special.

Thanks guys, glad that you appreciate my work I finished a unit of Chariots, but don't have my camera to take pics right now, so they'll come later.
@Robtion; I do have a Covent Throne already built and ready to paint, but I'm trying to stay focused on my TK for now and paint as much as I can! I still have a few things I really want to do (like my Sphinxes), but I'm also itching to do some VC units in the (hopefully near) futur!

Update time!
Forgot to post my Chariots once I got the pics, so here they are;
And this month, I decide to paint one of my Warsphinx, think it was time for something different from all the units I've made, a single (big) model was a nice change of pace!
Here he is;
That's it for now! This month I hope to finish to paint my Casket of Souls, so that's probably the next thing you'll see here!

@Mioum: As usual another amazing paint job :O I love the shading on the skin. Look forward to your Casket of souls, keep up the great work
@ Vectra; I will actually add some desert/yellow tuft of grass on all my bigger bases one day, I'm just not in the mood to do that right now! I have them already, so whenever I'll feel like it I'll do them in one batch
@ Mad'At; Starting on a black base, I simple used watered down Codex Grey, then Fortress Grey, and Skull White in successive layer (2-3 layer of each depending on how much water I added). I didn't bothered to blend or mix the colors together, only 1 color at a time. The colors being watered down allowed me to still have a relatively smooth transition.
