The in-exorable Legion of Margrave Calaret de Balaur

[TheTrans]

El dragino is almost painted!! Will get a pick up soon for y'all!

Hey man, it's looking cool! Pretty amazing, actually.

It's hard to see the shield from the photos you shared recently. However, I would say it's a bit better. Had you considered adding something to the front of the shield to change its shape?

 

[TheTrans]

Hey all,

Been mighty slack again, but recently gotten my arse back into gear..

I've attached a photo of the almost comple (needs blood n mud and some touch ups) vamp on dragon, he is modeled same as my vamp on foot (swapped shield and axe for lance and reins).

I've also attched another picture of my WiP Griffoghiest.. Can't stand the TG model and wanted something a little more noble...

hope you all enjoy!!

 

[ObliviJohn]

Nice going, I think I might have that island of blood griphon laying around. I should really do something with it =)

 

[TheTrans]

Thanks mate, the IoB would serve well as a hellsteed or maybe an abyssall terror I reckon...

Getting started on my empire based ghouls soon....

 

[dadadda]

beautiful works mate!

Nice Blood Knights & Margrave conversions!

 

[TheTrans]

Thanks fellas,

Currently working on some 'ghouls', which will be modelled mainly on empire guys, as they will be like the standing militia of Lord Balaur's domain.

And finally there will be a Female Blood Knight on the hill telling them to charge:

She isn't overly 'femaled' up, obviously an unhelmeted female head, different smaller arms and shoulder pads, a partial 'dress' flowing over the side and roses all over the shop..

Also have done a test model for the 'ghouls'

Pretty happy with how he has come out, still maintains most of the core colours of my army, with the aged but not rusted armour, also all the CC based 'ghouls' (the ones not rocking guns) have Sallet helms which helps unify them a bit I think...

Well get picks of the completed griffo-ghiest up soon!

 

[Theerteen]

Looks interesting so far. And I can't see all pics due to slow mobile Internet, have to check up later again

 

[Seneschal]

Oh, wow. Really cool stuff here. I love the female blood knight.

 

[Farmer7574]

@TheTrans Sweet menacing-looking Blood Knight girl. Looking forward to seeing her painted up!

 

[TheTrans]

Thanks fellas,

Got the front rank of the Ghouls painted up, just started on the skin wolf filler

 

[Farmer7574]

@TheTrans How did you achieve the rust effect on the spear tips that the skeleton warriors have? Just looking into different methods before starting mine

 

[TheTrans]

@Farmer7574 Just picked up a bottle of Vallejo Rust Oxide weathering powder, water it down then use it like an ink and paint it where you'd like the rust, the water dries, and you have the rust, I normally then give it a quick once over with say a Mithril Silver as I feel the metal wouldn't rust where it would be constantly rupped/hit etc..

 

[Farmer7574]

@TheTrans Awesome, thanks a lot

 

[NebuchandnezzarCD]

Awesome work, cool idea for the ghouls and I love your style of painting especially on those blood knights.
Also damn. That Vampire on the dragon looks badass in the extreme!
How's the are the posing options of the skin wolves I'm thinking about picking up two sets to use as crypt horrors but I want to vary them up a bit.

 

[jediguru]

Really solid plog you have here. Interesting and well done conversions.

 

[Borgnine]

I must say, I really like how regal El dragino looks. And that dragon must be massive! Fine conversions you have here The female vampire is also interesting in how rational and un-sexy she looks, with the massive armor and whatnot - an interesting variety to the usual trend.
