Dead but not Forgotten ...

Two whole weeks since my last post! In fairness, last week was somewhat hectic but I can't make the same excuse for this week, alas! Anyway, on to the task at hand:

Northstar Shadow Knight, Diehard Wolf Familiar & Heartbreaker Skeleton Champion

An eclectic selection of undeads this time, hopefully unified somewhat by the basing. The flowers and tufts are from Warpainter Scenics; the individual 'blobs', for want of a better term, are slightly too big for 25mm bases so I've ended up halving them and gluing 'em down as semi-circles. Not sure if it makes the base too busy but its a faff portioning them further. 


ROSD07 - Shadow Knight
Rather chuffed with this one as I followed an excellent tutorial from Gardens of Hecate on painting GW's spooky ghosts (n.b. I used all Citadel paints). This is my first real attempt at highlighting and whilst it's unrefined in many places, it's Good Enough. I have a copy of Rangers of Shadowdeep, the range he's from, and should really get round to playing it. 

 

ROSD07 - Shadow Knight

I painted it sometime last year but have only just based it on mdf, during which I'd forgotten whether or not I wash Agrellan Badland with Agrax Earthshade. Evidently I do not as it's come out darker than usual. At least I don't use impenetrable jargon to name things, ehh 😉


Diehard Miniatures Wolf Familiar

A kickstarter miniature this one. Not much to say about this undead doggo. I slapped the Skeleton Horde on perhaps but I like my skeletons to look freshly exhumed. I've kept the integral base as it's nice and round but it has made basing interesting. He's basically sitting in the shrub I've artfully obscured in the above pic; I like to think he still has the oblivious attitude some dogs exhibit even in the next life.


Heartbreaker Skeleton Champion


A nice, classic miniature here from Phil Lewis. Look at the size of that there Claymore! I enjoyed painting up the armour (metallics have always been a favourite) and the many dinks it's taken before the occupants demise.
