The Rise of the Von Kerryathe Legion [Picture Heavy]

[SethDrallitoc]

Impressive work mate. Like the work you're doing on the skeletons in particular. Any chance of a picture of the entire army?

Cheers, Wolfie

See page 9.

I love the covers. I would suggest glueing the swords a bit more forward or on the hip. It would only make sense that when a warrior moved to have it to its side.

The swords and everything with these units will look great! I look forward to seeing them complete.

 

[SethDrallitoc]

You need to stop thinking about where a warrior would keep his sword and start thinking about where a sword ends up when it is being worn by someone who no longer has any flesh to keep his belt in place.

 

[The Dark Sheep]

You should slice of a tiny bit more of the head of that skellie. -Start thinking about where the helmet ends up when there's no hair or flesh to keep it up... grin: )

 

[Josef]

looking good =), love the work on the zombie makes me wanna get one.

lol

I haven't actually cut anything away from the skull. I made the helmet hollow.

It does sit high on his head but that's because of the scale issue with the olde skeleton warriors against their living counterparts. I pushed the skull into the mold as deep as it would go and that is where it sits.

I might play around with sanding some of the skulls down in future.

 

[dictator]

Will you be adding any buckles to the belts? I think the helmet looks great. It should look alittle helter-skelter. That way they look like your swords, a bit off. They are there solely because of the magic that created them.

 

[ironlord]

wow that looks like a great set of skelies
i cant wait to see them all in a unit
thanks for letting us see the moulding procress in the works because ive been wondering how to mould things

Everything you need can be found in the "look here before asking" section of the Painting and modeling section. This included the youtube videos that I learned how to mold things from.

 

[Trevy the Great]

Very nice job on that giant, with the sword and the other arm hanging uselessly it really looks like a giant zombie!

 

[ironlord]

thanks seth drallitoc ive followed a series of links and gained a basic mastery of moulding now!
finally a genuine use for youtube besides laughing at others and music vids
how are the skeletons with hats going
hehehe i just got the image of some skelies with party hats on!

 

[SethDrallitoc]

I know you have seen it in the painting competition thread. But as I have said before.... I like to keep everything here.

 

[dictator]

It's such a wonderful model. I just wish I had a giant to make like yours!

 

[SethDrallitoc]

I tried to get rid of my armoured skeleton rib cages....

I tried to get rid of my curved swords....

But then I came up with a much better idea while I was at work.... I doodled it down.

Then I came home and knocked out a prototype.

 

[Josef]

looks good =), very nice idea are you going to do that to all or just your comand groups?

 

[SethDrallitoc]

The whole lot. I am going to make as many of them as I have the parts for. Keep them set aside for raising purposes.

 

[ironlord]

sweet gengis khan skelies, what are the shields made from?

 

[Trevy the Great]

You know Seth, some people would say that you have too many skeletons for your own good.
I say: keep 'em coming!

 

[dictator]

The shields look like they are from the lizardmen 5th ed. As for the skeleton helmets: I would suggest finding the ones that already have the helmets on them and then just add the rope twist around it. It would save a lot of time for you. I look forward to seeing them complete. Will you be adding a flying carpet to the unit as a filler?

 

[SethDrallitoc]

Yes. 5th Edition Lizardman shields is correct. With some slight modifications.

Can't use the helmeted skulls. Don't want the side or nose guards.

 

[dictator]

Dang, well at least you'll be very proficient with the turban and helmet by the time your done. Exactly how many will you be raising?

 

[SethDrallitoc]

I really have no clue. I have about 63 curved swords... I don't know how many of the armoured torsos I have. I will have to have another count.

Minimum of 10. Could be as many as 40. I will have to buy more tomb king skeleton regiments if I want to increase further... Though this is not a problem as I have a tomb kings army too.

 

[SethDrallitoc]

Almost finished my prototype.

Base needs finishing off and static grassing.

And then I will go to work on his shield.

 

[ironlord]

hold the presses here, you have a tomb kings army as well!

*ironlord's mind blows up as he imagines all the skeletons*

well keep up the hard work

 

[dictator]

Any tattered capes or something on his back for this project? I might even think a few gold coins they died in the desert trying to steal would look cool.
