Tattered Banners, Bloody Flags - Gederas' Gravelords

[Gederas]

Some great work. I see you have the AoW krell, I used him as a mounted wight king.

Thanks! And yeah, I found him completely by accident (it was during a brief, BRIEF period when AoW had their stuff on Cults3D). Managed to show it to my FLGS owner, paid the 5 bucks to grab it from AoW's MyMiniFactory page and then had it printed at 130% to make him a BIG BOY.

On the minis front, I took a break from painting the hordes this week to work on the Lonely Tree and also finish my 30 Berzerkers for the upcoming World Eaters release in 40k. However, I did attach the Vampire Lord to the Zombie dragon, which means that mini is finally finished after -checks notes- 5 years. That being said, I also saw that the base of the Zombie Dragon and Terrorgheist aren't up to my current standards (THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A WASH ON THE TEXTURE PAINT), so I'm gonna do that before I post them.

Ahh nice, he’s an awesome model. Like me, the pile of shame is very shameful

Indeed it is

Gravelords are on hold for right now, as I need to get more magnets for the bases so I can paint the rest of my Skeletons. And I don't want to finish painting all the characters with 80 or so Skeletons needing painting

That and I maaaaaaaay be distracted by my World Eaters at present

once my printer is working again, as will I be distracted by world eaters (30k). I have some awesome heresy terminators to paint

Yeah. It also doesn't help my current predicament is I need magnets for bases. Good news is I got all 40 Berzerkers (only 10 of the new guys, the other 30 were kitbashed) and Angron base coated with Mephiston Red.

I did get the new Warcry box though and got the Vampires all built. Just gotta wait for a good enough day to be able to prime them with Grey Seer

 

[logan054]

Hopefully you’ll have an update for us to see soon

 

[Gederas]

Well, the snow delayed my FGLS' restock of primers, so I'm waiting until Friday before I can get any Grey Seer for the Askurgan Trueblades.

Good news for me though: Magnet Baron order arrived so I was able to get all the remaining minis that needed magnets in their bases their magnets. Going to be picking up another case so I can have all my skeletons stored in one case as well

 

[logan054]

I can understand you’re pain, I’ve been waiting. Over a month to get a new 3Dprinter after they lost my last one. In you’re situation I’d be tempted with an Amazon job tbh.

 

[Gederas]

Welp, I got the Grey Seer primer, so my female Necromancer (the Lonely Lady seen on the first page) and Warcry warband are now primed, along with all the Cursed City stuff I had to prime (need to touch up the Kosargi though....)

Also, my FLGS owner, who's also my print guy, found something and I did the Fry "shut up and take my money" thing. Because he found this:

For anyone nor familiar with World of Warcraft: That's Sindragosa from Wrath of the Lich King.

Also: Gargantuan reinforcements!

Convering that model is going to be a project and a half....

 

[logan054]

Awesome stuff, I love that dragon

 

[Gederas]

Update, no images presently (laziness woo! ), but I finished the Mysterious Objects for Cursed City, along with the remaining Heroes (barring Morrval, but I need to kitbash him). Just got the Kosargi, Blood-Born, Torgilius and Radukar and the base game is finally painted after... Uhhh... When did Cursed City originally come out?

 

[Gederas]

Saw a conversion a while back for a more monstrous Vampire Lord using the new Daemon Prince kit, had to do it. Turns out, the new Daemon Prince is near the same height as the Vengorian Lord, which is what this lad will be run as:

Need to decide on if he has a tail or not

 

[Unas the slayer]

Amazing conversion!

 

[Gederas]

Amazing conversion!

Thanks!

So I have an update for the above Vengorian Lord, started the work of sculpting a mane. Realized it's too small, so I need to embiggen it:

Also, I finished the sculpting on my Morrvhal Obrecht kitbash/conversion:

And put some base coats on the Sindragosa model:

Finally: I found the 8e (I think? The one from 2012) Vampire Counts army book, new in wrap, for a decent price. It's been ordered and will be arriving Monday! So hopefully that book will help me with ideas for the fluff for my force

 

[The Sun King]

Such an awesome project Gederas !

 

[Gederas]

Such an awesome project Gederas !

Thanks!

I've also finished the remaining 10 swordsmen from the 30-strong squad of Skeletons. Now to do the remaining 10 spearmen and that'll be my original 60 Skeletons all done. Additionally, the above Sindragosa model is nearly finished, got her wing membranes painted up and highlighted, just need to get some Luxion Purple to do the eye glow (yes, Sindragosa is a Frostwyrm, but in Warhammer, Death magic is "Amethyst" magic, so all spell effects and glows in my army will be purple)

 

[logan054]

Great work

 

[Raven Torrid]

Great stuff Gederas! Can't wait to see all that painted! Everything is great but the Daemon Prince/Vengorian conversion is epic!
Vargskyr head has so many great uses, and this is yet another one of them. Sindragosa is looking proper menacing as well....I should take a peek into that 3d print/artist's portfolio...I'd be tempted to get Ragnaros or something.

 

[Gederas]

Okay so... This is gonna be a BIG update, as I finally stopped being lazy and took pictures of what I've painted Will have to be several posts due to the amount of images....

First off, Cursed City!

I did a touch-up on Halgrim:

And Gorslav:

With the above two, I redid redid Gorslav's skirt to match the official paintjob being red as opposed to brown. I also redid Halgrim's cloak to match the red with the rest of the Thirsting Court's spot colour (except Torgilius, oddly enough?).

The ven Alten Triplets:

Kosargi Nightguard (still have more to paint):

Torgilius the Chamberlain:

Radukar the Wolf:

Mysterious Objects:

Bat Swarms:

Corpse Rats (These things are a nightmare to paint fully assembled):

 

[Gederas]

And the Heroes of Cursed City:

Brutogg Corpse-Eater, Jelsen Darrock, Glaurio ven Alten III:

Emelda Braskov, Dagnai Holdenstock, Qulathis the Exile:

Octren Glimscry, Cleona Zeitengale, Morrvhal Obrecht:

Morrvhal Obrecht is a bit rougher/smaller than the rest but that's because it's the Zombicide Necromancer model with some add-ons.

 

[Gederas]

And now the other stuff:

Another Vargskyr:

More Vyrkos Blood-Born:

Avatars of War Wight King (3D Print):

Vengorian Lord:

Winged Vampire Lord:

(once again, weird lighting making the red look pink)

Radukar the Beast:

The generic Vampire Lord (AKA: Carmilla DuSang from the first Cursed City expansion):

Kritza, the Rat Prince (modified ever so slightly to remove the trailing rat tails on his coat, with a swarm of Corpse Rats following to fill the now-empty back of the base):

Annika, the Thirsting Blade:

Cado Ezechiar, The Hollow King (better images):

 

[Gederas]

Still not done, thankfully this is the end of the recently-finished stuff

Because I never took pictures of them, here's the Vampire Lord of Zombie Dragon (sword):

And Terrorgheist:

Also, the Sindragosa model from above (now finished):

Luxion Purple over Corax White/White Scar is a godsend for glowy purple:

Also yes, the VLoZD and Terrorgheist have drastically different bone colouration from the rest of my force. That's because they were painted before I found my new recipe (thank you ArtisOpus' tutorials), but I don't plan on redoing them as they have a "fresher" look to them than Sindragosa and my other skeletons, as they're closer to the Zombies and Corpse Rats, so them being like those in terms of colouration makes more sense.

 

[Gederas]

Now what's next for me? Well, I've got to choose if I want to paint some of my Blood Knights squads, or the Fell Bats which I just primed today:

 

[Gederas]

Great work

Thanks!

So about all that stuff being painted Raven....
