WIP: VC Corpse Cart

In the spirit of Monty Python, I decided to make a kitbash VC Corpe Cart.

The necromancer can be added "to the cart" if needed. It's mostly just Orc Boar chariot with 2 zombies on the front pulling and 1 in the back pushing.

WIP: Vampire Counts: Hexwraith, part 3

 Started the drybrushing progress on the Hexwraiths. First trying it on one. The one on the left is drybrushed with Vallejo Wolf Grey, the original basecolor. The right Hexwraith is not yet drybrushed but it's in the picture just for reference and comparison.

Same with this picture, showing the comparsin on the progression, left one is the drybrushed and the right one is not.


Now all of them are drybrushed and one I finished highlighting. Also started to  fix the mould gaps on the horse's heads.

 The highlighted one, used Citadel Skull White for the highlight. The thing next to the left eye socket is a thrash from the mould gap fixing progress, noticed it just as I uploaded these pictures, better ones when they are all done.

WIP: Vampire Counts: Hexraiths part 2

 I continued my Border Patrol list's hexwraiths a bit last night. I blasted the wraiths with Vallejo Wolf Grey over the grey primer. This gave them a whiter basecolor. The aim is to paint them ghosly white at the end and with white you need to start with a darker tone and build up to the bright Citadel Skull White.

 Then I washed them over with Citadels Thraka Green -wash. It looked good on the first wraith so I went and washed them all with the Thraka Green.

They are ready for some drybrushing with the Vallejo Wolf Grey now, but that's for the next part. Also I need to fix the gaps on the horse heads, they just stick out to me too much, can't have that, must fix :)

Random hobby update #560934052

 The mailman delivered me 36 inches of green stuff, nice.

  Fell Bats and uncle Kemmler primed, nice.

 Fixed a missing arm on a Blood Dragon vampire. The arm made of green stuff, used another Blood Dragons sword arm as a model, then attached a Black Knight lance to it. Riding Lord Von Carstein's barded Nightmare, he is just borrowing it, Lord Von Carstein will get it back.

Then a sneakpeak of my border patrol armylist. Also Black Knights have their shields already, not shown in the picture.

WIP: Vampire Counts: Bat Swarms

Started painting these Bat Swarms. Trying to make them look a bit like Myotis lucifugus because the models just resemble them.

1. Primer: Maston 518 grey
2. Snakebite leather for the body
3. 50/50 mix of Chaos Black and Scorhed Brown on wings and ears
4. Washed with Devlan Mud
5. Bleached Bone for the teeth
(6. Chaos Black for the "support-sticks", not shown in the pictures)

WIP: Vampire Counts: Black Knights, part1

The HexWraith/Black Knight box comes with 5 mounts, the hexwraith got them. But as I got bunch of old miniatures from some awesome people, I also got some old plastic Skeleton Riders. That was good news to the Black Knights because they got their mounts stolen by their ethereal brothers-in-arms. Everyone is happy now, the old skeletal horses fit the new Black Knights well. Next up: the paint!

I took the pictures before glueing  them together.

Is it christmas already?

Happened to get a lot of awesome minitarures from some awesome people. Just awesome, pure awesome, look at the loot I got:

The paintjob needed some work, so now I have a somewhat large paintstripping project on my hands:

I used Fairy Power Spray and a old toothbrush, the results were good:

WIP: Vampire Counts: HexWraiths, part1

I am taking part in a 1200pts Border Patrol tournament at my local gaming store. The rules allow 150pts worth of ethereals, so I wanted to take 5 HexWraiths on my list. The assembly took a while but now they are assembled. Next comes the primer and then a ghostly paint scheme.

WIP: Vampire Counts Dire Wolves

 I'm painting these Dire Wolves for my Border Patrol list. I started with Maston 518 Grey Primer and then added layers on Vallejo Filthy Brown on the muscles, some old Citadel Bleached Bone on the bone-parts and Citadel purple for the guts.

 Then I washed the muscles with Citadel Carroburg Crimson Shade to make them red and raw.

Finally I painted the remainin fur parts with 50/50 mix on Citadel Chaos Black and Scorhed Brown. Next Im going to assemble these, clean them up and apply washes for the skin and then highlight everythind.
