Zooooombies

Back in the day when I was really into GW's range of models I have tried to make a full Undead Elven Army. Now I reckon I did relatively well in that endeavour. But naturally I never actually finished that army since (I think I got bored :P)

Nonetheless I've got some pretty funky conversions out of that attempt... and MAYBE some day I will return to this project (yeah right this one and a 100 others)...

Still here are some zombies from that army :) They are quite old but really funky imo

Some more old stuff

Here are some more of my old pics :)

First off is the Terminator Lord from my 40k Chaos Army. He's actually a funny since I've painted him but never actually played a single game with him (I think chaos terminators are poo).

And some of you might remember the old post with the Undead Silver Helm in it (http://cornerofstuff.blogspot.com/2010/09/and-again.html) well since I have a better camera now I can actually post some high quality pics of him:

Blood Knights step by step: Stage 1

So we come to blood knights. Now I have to say this in advance. I do not like painting red. It requires something I do not have. Namely the ability to stop before you end up with orange. SO! Knowing that this is my failure I am going to try and bloody well stop before Blood Knights end up as Oranges in a market stall! (This also involves making them darker than usual Red they are given)

Right well best get to it.

Stage 1.

Simple stage really. It requires 0 skill and 0 ability. Also requires a fairly sizable brush. In this case I have used the only Citadel brush I actually have (because they are crap) "Large brush"

What you need to do is cover all the metal and all the cloth areas of the model with Scab red. Now you may ask "why don't you use those foundation paints GW is so proud of". The main reason here is that I do not need a bright red model to be the result. I want it to be dark and I want Blood Red (paint colour) to be the final highlight rather than a major colour on the model.

Here are some examples of post Stage one blood Knights:

As such mistakes and errors are allowed on the first few stages as they will be covered up later. Also it doesn't matter TOO much if you miss out some little bits at this stage but this doesn't mean you need to be sloppy or lazy!

And Again

Nothing particularly amazing today just another set of pictures this time featuring some Silver Helms - Turned Black Knights. In my opinion the champion of that unit turned out the best so here are some pictures of him.

The idea of using silver helm models - mildly converted for the Vampire Counts army came from simply looking at those old and terrible models the Gamesworkshop range currently holds (HORSES WITH BONE TAILS!) also there was no way to give models barding. Naturally since my Vampire Counts were themed on dead Elves - Silver Helms were the most obvious choice.

Another day

Well nothing much new as such. Work on blood knights is moving on and I AM taking pictures. Warmachine not here yet so nothing to report there yet.

But since I have so many models out there that have never been photographed or seen here is a taster of some more:

This is a skeleton spear unit from my - now - largely neglected Warhammer Fantasy undead army which was originally themed as a High Elf Undead army. (I've kept to that theme for most part to be honest). There will be more pictures of them here so keep your eyes peeled :)
