Hi all
Me and my friends here in Sweden are starting up a painting campaign, sort of like GW's "A tale of 4 gamers". The idea is that we shall all start a new army and progressively building it up over a period of time. We start by making a 500pts army, and then adding 200pts to it every month. In the end of each month we will play some games with the army before continuing. And repeating the process until we hit 2500pts.
My army will be VC, I started this army about a year ago and manage to paint up a corpse cart and a bunch of zombies but then got stuck. This seemed like a nice way to re-start it. I decided to join this forum mostly to post my progress of this army and hopefully get inspired by doing so.
So here it goes, the first game will be held in the beginning of May. My army will consist of a Vampire, 23 skeletons, 21 zombies and a corpse cart. Most of the zombies are done and so is the corpse cart.
Here they are:
I didn't really had a theme for the army then so I painted it quite randomly with no consistent colour. Fortunately it was just zombies, who I feel wouldn't share the theme of the rest of the army since they are just scattered left overs from other armies. :tongue:
The skeletons and vampire are currently being assembled
I plan to do all my 50 skeletons in on bunch so that they will all look the same.
For painting I'm aiming for a somewhat blueish colour on the bone, very rusty blades, corroded bronze armour, blue (or red, not decided yet) shields and cloth and the absolute details (like Gems) in bright green.
I've only got one problem though, I need a name for my vampire countess. The figure is from avatars of war and will be used as a von Carstein vampire. I'm thinking of something that begins with an "L" but am having some trouble since I'm used to name Orc characters. Help would be very appreciated.
