The Horde of Countess Bella Lugosi

[Mannerheim27]

Wonderful conversions in there. Those will look sharp when they're done. Keep it up bud!

Well folks, another weekend at work and another painting update. Just a small one for now.
Here we have the first of my Ghouls of the production line.

 

[Mannerheim27]

Very nice ghoul there! I love the skin tones and the eyes. Great work on him, Tall!

[Tall]

And then there was five.......

Cheers Redarmy, glad you like em.

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

They look good, I think the eyes look esspecially good, they have a creepy glow to them.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Yeah I agree with CRD. Glowing eyes can be difficult, but you have pulled them off masterfully. The pale green skin works quite well too.

 

[Tall]

Here we have the next thrilling instalment of the ghouls.

I'm particularly pleased with the one that's carrying his little corpse comforter.

 

[lord marcus]

OOH! shiney!

 

[Tall]

So my fellow posters, what do you think of the colour scheme?

It's a very rough WIP at the minute, as you can tell.

 

[Sanai]

A bit too much blue. Blue and blue doesnt complement very well in my opinion.

 

[Puss Filled Boil]

Those Ghouls look bloody brilliant! I quite like the blue, are you going for a colour to match a state or just any colour that looks cool?

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Hmm, yeah I have got to agree that the dark blue and light blue is just.....well blue really. I think it would be better with a more contrasting colour. The head on the other hand is pure fantastic.

 

[Skeletal_Grift]

Am liking everything so far! Seems we both like our feminine vamps :mrgreen:

The guy on the horse looks awesome just the way he is! I would personally keep the spikes, and get a more chaotic looking shield, but that maybe just me! The model you are using for your Countess, I was also considering her for my own army - she's lookin' good so far. Never liked the Empire models - they look far better as Undead!

And good work on the Ghouls, they're almost good enough to eat... Mmmm!

 

[Tall]

Ok so so I was bored at work and got some models painted, would you like to see them??

Who said no!!! :tongue:

Here are my core, another 10 ghouls making 20 in total (I love painting these models)

Ghasts x2

and my hero, formerly Mrs Von Carstein but now she's known as.......
The Red Queen.

 

[Sanai]

Great paint job and conversions.
When are you going to do some zombies? Zombies are fun to convert. Zombies eat brains. Zombies can often suck on the battlefield, but are summonable and provide cheap tarpits. Zombie starts with a "Z".

 

[Tall]

I've got some converted up as it is, It's just looking at that great big pile of em and thinking "oooohhhhh god where do I start"
Besides We're not using the Z word..........

 

[Sanai]

Hehe, I thought that you hated zombies and would be incensed. Oh well.

 

[Tall]

I've nothing against them to look at, a massive shambling horde looks awesome. It's combat effectiveness I have issues with.

 

[Sanai]

True. I seriously hope the next army book radically redoes zombies.

 

[Tall]

I can't see that happening as it takes away from the shambling cadaver routine. :lol:

 

[Sanai]

They need an inherent raise or a respawn or to be cheaper, or be less vulnerable to combat res. Zombies are meant to be an endless relentless horde that scares the crap outta people, not a small cheap and useless unit that makes the enemy win combats.

 

[Tall]

True enough, what they should do is unless the unit is completely destroyed in combat, they regain D6 zombies every turn while in combat or something along the lines of headshots only.....

 

[Tall]

Well here is my attempt at some "ethereal" style Skellies, what do you lot think?

The idea was to have the skeleton looking as though it was in ghostly clothes and then haunting the armour, if that makes sense.

TP

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

To my eye the ethereal clothes and normal armour clashes. Personally I would look at make the armour looking for ghostly.

 

[Tall]

I need your help folks, as to which shall be my next Lady Vamp.
