Nice going on the steed, keep us apprised. I, however, prefer a more 'ghostly steed' look, I just can't see a skeleton horse riding through trees.

I think that steed looks awesome!
If I had some more money and time (read patience) I would have tried to do something like that too.
Cheers!

I think the end result for the steed looks really nice, the only thing that looks a bit weird to me is the neck. Maybe some barding on that too?
And why didn't you keep the saddle for the horse? Just curious.

Probably because the wights legs were not wide enough apart to sit on the saddle. A very nice conversion though
Yes the legs are too close together to allow the empire saddle. They were designed to sit on skeletal steeds. Also the wights already have saddles sculpted to their arses. I am planning on doing more to the necks and heads.
Just having trouble deciding what. Any ideas? I am going to add reigns.
My green stuff sculpting has inconsistent results so I don't really want to have to sculpt too much.

What about the plumed head from the black coach. Could be expensive, but you won't have to sculpt anything.
BTW I just reallised that there's no page dedicated to the balack coach in the coloured section of the army book :|

That would be ideal. But of course you can not buy the parts seperatly anymore and I need 20.
So unless there is someone out there with 10 black coach models that don't require plumage....
Another way needs to be found.

I say make some tattered clothing hanging in from the necks and some chain mail, like on the original empire steeds.
If you buy the Flagellants you get loads of chains and skulls. If you atach those to the tattered clothing and chainmail Boo suggested, you could get some really cool models.

um???? HUh????? Wha????
Clamp? multi arm ?
pin ?
Glue?
No.
No clamps, no pins, no need. The horse was cut from the armour of an empire horse. Then looped over the head and stuck on the back side of the skeletal horse. Poly cement sticks and holds after a second. Plastic to plastic, light components, you don't need anything more advanced than glue and your fingers.

Oh so very easily.
Chaos black undercoat:
Roughly paint the top half of the model Codex grey and drybrush the bottom:
Then about a third of the way up paint entirely Fortress Grey then drybrush below it but not to the base: *(Sorry about the blur)
then paint the head and shoulds Skull white drybrushing a little below the shoulders:
Till you have this:
Then of course all you have to do is slap on the wonderfullness that is Thraka Green Wash.
and Bam! :
THE END.
woa, beautiful spirithosts! And it didn't look that hard to paint either.
How many points is your current army at? Would be interesting to know.

That is amazing! What an awesome paintjob. Never really been one for inks myself, but this may just change my mind.
Great look. I do like the extra armor added to the head of the Black Knight steed. Gotta say it sounds VERY easy if you just cut out the armor and then just place it on top of the steed.
The hosts look awesome like everyone else has said. The real lighting really adds a lot to the models. It makes them look great.

Fantastic Spirit Hosts, especially given the reasonably simple method. I've just painted mine, and wasn't happy, then I saw this :| mine really pale by comparison.
If I do choose to redo them after I finish the rest of the army I will be using a variant of the method you've used.
Any chance of a picture of your legion as it stands, you seem to have made a lot of progress since you posted your initial army photo, and I would love to see how it looks now.
Again, great work, and thank you for sharing it all.

Nice, nice, very nice Spirit Hosts, SethDrallitoc. I will have to use your method sometime myself. Even if I may use a more concentrated wash, looking forward to seeing more progress in your log, keep up the good work.

Stunning Spirit Hosts. I wasn't going to bother doing any for my new VC army, because I'm not sure they serve a useful purpose in the list anymore, but those have convinced me to do some regardless.
Lovely stuff.

Really nice, simple, and effective technique exhibited on those Spirit Hosts; and this is from someone who very rarely comments in painting threads.
I think with how fanatastic those hosts have turned out (and yes, I too will be pinching your idea!) I think it would be an excellent article to put in the upcoming VC E-zine if you are ok with this?
@Fluffy, what do you think?
